Abstract

The article considers the conceptual and legal aspects of humanitarian expert appraisal, the current state of its procedure in relation to various objects, the possibilities for improving the legal framework for the humanitarian expert appraisal of games, toys and play facilities. The conceptual, ontological, methodological foundations of humanitarian expert appraisal as a type of social practice have began to be realized only recently. At present, we can talk about the relative formalization of the methodological aspects of the psychological component of humanitarian expert appraisal; debatable issues and disagreements are still observed. There is no clear-cut procedure for appointing humanitarian expert appraisal, the grounds for its appointment have not been defined, and the practice of taking into account its recommendations has not been formalized. To some extent, this picture is objective, since the objects of humanitarian expert appraisal are also diverse. Nevertheless, some legally determined commonality in conducting humanitarian expert examination is appropriate. The area of humanitarian expert appraisal that concerns the analysis of games and toys seems to be closest to the solution of the indicated problem. Until 2007 the possible negative impact on the child's health and emotional well-being of board, computer and other games, toys, play facilities was controlled through a mandatory socio-psychological and pedagogical examination. The latter was carried out on the basis of a temporary procedure approved by the Ministry of Education, was preliminary in nature and ensured that games and toys were tested for compliance with psychological safety criteria and contribution to the child's development. This procedure was canceled, and the new one is still not accepted. Thus, it should be stated that children in modern Russia are not protected legally from harm that can be caused to their psyche and development. The main conclusion of the article concerns the need to eliminate the existing gap in Russian legislation regarding the regulation of the procedure for the examination of games, toys and play facilities, as well as determining the subject responsible for the development of such rules. Apparently, such an examination should be voluntary, and it is important to take into account its results in the system of information labeling of computer games. It is advisable to label games not only on the basis of aspects of age recommendations, but also to use content marking that warns of the presence of scenes with certain undesirable content in the game.
