Abstract: The article studies the connection between altruistic\ egoistic models of behavior and personal starvation for life success. As factors defi ning the mentioned above relation the author views time-management ability, intelligence in general, social intelligence and emotional intelligence. It is shown that the connection of intellect with altruistic behavior can be different for the groups with different intellectual and educational levels. The group of people with high education, for instance, showed an evident correlation between the intellect and altruistic behavior. In that group starvation for success (represented as the time-management ability) positively correlates both with the intellect and altruistic behavior. In the group of less educated people, intellect did not correlate with altruistic behavior and some time-management abilities negatively correlated with altruism.

Abstract: Secret ritual societies of Tropical Africa are a relict of history and at the same time, an alternative to a modern state institution. The psychological mechanism of regulation of traditional relations can be autonomous and rather tolerant towards the central state institution and municipal authorities, at the best case, but it can also appear to be a mystifi ed foundation for the opposition, separatism and crime. The study of these societies allows us to specify and enrich a wide range of terms and concepts in social anthropology and philosophy of history.
