This thesis examines the theoretical interpretations of literary psychologism in literary studies, the interrelationship between the concepts of psychologism, psychologicality, literary psychologism, and psychological analysis, as well as the principal approaches to the artistic representation of the human psyche. The views of A. Iezuitov, V. Kompaneyets, N. Kodak, V. Fashchenko, and A. Yesin are examined from a comparative perspective, with particular attention given to the role of psychologism in the semantic and stylistic structure of a literary work. The theoretical approaches are further applied to Abduqayum Yo‘ldosh’s short story Puankare, where the protagonist’s scientific pursuits, the process of self-understanding, inner suffering, and psychological struggles are analyzed in relation to the specific features of psychologism as a stylistic dominant
