“…По мнению Д. Ойзерман, культура -это познание, укорененное в среде [36]. А. Поручук [37] отмечает, что архаический символизм был основан на материальных предметах, которые обрели магические и ритуальные функции. Впоследствии изображения этих вещей стали символами, многие из которых имели шанс развиться в знаки и/или графемы.…”

Objective. Studying the intensity and characteristics of the transfer of attitudes towards people to and from things associated with them. Background. Symbolic functions of things are discussed in philosophy, economics, cultural studies and semiotics. At the same time, the psychological specificity of things participation in social interaction remains poorly studied. It is assumed that attitudes towards people are transferred to the things they create, and that making symbolic actions to the things changes attitudes towards those they represent. Study design. An online experiment was carried out based on a fictional situation: 10 guests of a sanatorium presented for the competition the flowers that they had grown. The influence of attitudes towards people on the attractiveness of their work products and the influence of destroying the work product on attitudes towards the person who created it were simulated. Participants. 132 people (111 women, 21 men) aged 17–55 years (M = 31,3; SD = 9,7). Measurements. Data was collected using the “Master-tests” platform of the online services system “HT-Line”. Authors’ stimulus material was used. Characters were scored on the basic scales of C. Osgood's semantic differential (“evaluation”, “strength” and “activity”). Results. Test subjects tend to save flowers grown by good characters. Characters’ attractiveness changes depending on whether their flowers are liked by participants. The characters whose flowers have been eliminated are perceived more passive when reassessed. Conclusions. Attitude towards a person affects saving things that symbolically represent him/her, and performing an action to these things changes attitude towards its creator.

In the cuneiform texts from Kayseri-Kültepe, is seen that Hattian t/labarna, an Anatolian word, has been used with special names since the 1800 BC. Later, in the Old Hittite Age, the name Labarna / Tabarna continued as the tradition of naming the king (Labarna I, Hattušili I (= Labarna II)). labarna-/tabarna- as the title of the Hittite kings, was used to mean king, ruler. It is clear that the first syllable of t/labarna, which we think is derived from the Sumerian word TAB (double, double, double, two-part), has a double, dual meaning. The title Tabarna/Labarna was used only for the "great king of the Hatti country", and the emblem used for the Hittite kingdom is the ax, which is also the symbol of power. During the KI.LAM (market place) festival, it sometimes appears that the iron ax and the iron spear, as the symbol of the kingdom, are mentioned with the king as the symbol of the kingdom. Thus, it becomes evident that the ax and spear refer to "symbols of the kingdom". In the region extending as far as Southern Europe, the Middle East and India, two axes or double axes with a single handle appear as the known weapon and symbol of the powers. In ancient times, it seems that the labrys (double-mouthed axe) was used in religious ceremonies or presented to the gods as a votive stuff. Among the old Turkish titles before Islam, the title of İl-teber (administrator of the province / ruler of the province) appeared in the inscriptions as the title of the Uyghur and Karluk chiefs. All these are very important in terms of indicating the historical journey of the Hattic t/labarna "ruler title" from the Hittites to İl-teber in the ancient Turkic Peoples.
