The authors address an important psychological and methodological problem: the fact - a special kind of sentences expressing empirical knowledge, - which has been traditionally disregarded in science. Different scientists perceived and evaluated the same facts in a fundamentally different manner, because they were theoretically loaded to varying degrees and were assessed from the perspective of different pre-theories. The authors propose their universal model of integrative cognitive methodology of psychological science. This model integrates into a comprehensive research the most important methodological categories and levels in the structure of the fact (ideological, substantive, procedural). One can also integrate structural and level approach in the analysis of the facts and solve a number of traditional psychological problems by finally explaining the known facts.
