Popis: Introduction. Currently, information-related activity studies based on computer technologies and the identification and explanation of its cognitive and metacognitive determinants are of particular relevance. In this respect, it is objectively necessary to converge research in two important areas – metacognitivism and the psychology of professional information-related activity. This study is the first to identify and interpret the fundamental patterns of the deterministic influence of metacognitive factors on the effective parameters of information-related activity, including the optimum type dependency between metacognitive factors and efficiency. Methods. The sample (n = 210) consisted of programmers of various profiles and levels working in Yaroslavl, Moscow, and Rybinsk. The study used psychodiagnostic procedures, including the Complex Inventory of Metacognitive Potential (CIMP) developed by the authors and methods developed in metacognitivism. Results. The findings indicated that the deterministic influence of metacognitive potential on the effective parameters of programmers’ activity was essentially diverse in terms of degree and direction. It synthesized both positive and negative characteristics, ultimately determining the complex and nonlinear nature of this influence and the presence of the optimum type dependency between the severity of metacognitive potential and efficiency. Discussion. The results are interpreted from the perspectives of metacognitivism and the basic perspectives of the psychology of information-related professional activity. Finally, the conclusion was that the negative influence of metacognitive factors on effective parameters of activity is determined by a combination of their direct and indirect impacts on the implementation of activity and particular functions to ensure their performance.
