Abstract
The study proposes a method for operationalizing the emergent properties of a dysfunctional family system through the analysis of anomalies in nomothetic psychometric data (AFR, LSI questionnaires, N=121). It was found that the distribution of responses deviates significantly from both normal (violation of CLT) and uniform distribution (violation of PME). These anomalies are interpreted within a bifurcation paradigm: deviation from CLT indicates stochastic concordance, revealing structural-functional coherence (an order parameter manifested by attractors and repellors); deviation from PME indicates intentional selectivity, revealing a socio-psychological attitude (a value-semantic configuration in the form of affirmation and abnegation). The joint manifestation of these patterns forms the emergent architectonics of the family, paving the way for building a typology of dysfunctions and developing systemic diagnostic procedures based on psychometric profiles.
