The article provides a brief analysis of the approaches in ethnic psychology to identify the psychological appearance of an ethnos. From the theoretical point of view, the structure of the psychological appearance of an ethnos is a fundamental problem and is considered as a macro-system (poly-system) consisting of 3 levels (subsystems): upper - value (value orientations), medium - level of relations and lower - level of manifestation of mental processes, states and properties. One can consider the fourth level - psycho-physiological. It involves the study of the processes and states of a person: his perceptions, thinking, memory, emotions, etc. The traditional belief of Tuvinians, in particular, shamanism as a determinant, is a necessary condition for the development of the psyche of an ethnos. It manifests the diversity of the conditions of the ethnos being, its contacts with other people, the combination of moral, religious and other ethnic features.
