The present paper is focused on problems of social and psychological state of a person as a complicated characteristic of well-being. We implemented our research on the base of the concept of persons’ social potential. A person is abstract characteristics of social activity, which are typical reflections of relationships between dynamical social and psychological systems.The main supposition of the research concludes in a discovery of social way of thinking as a potential of social development of a person and society. In addition, we tried to describe the limits of this way of thinking. Empirical research is realized on the base of a questionnaire with quantitative and qualitative projective questions. Analysis is based on sociological research of the respondents of 16-34 years old, citizens of a big city, Ekaterinburg, Russia. On the base of empirical sociological research, we attempted to describe connection between self-estimations of psychological state and different aspects of person's potential. In this paper, we investigated some explanations of positive or negative emotional indicators on the base of person's social constructive or destructive characteristics, which are important for the development of a person and social systems.
