Experience in using semantic analysis in the study of psychological resources of adolescents

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of the semantic analysis method for studying the phenomenon of a resource. The use of this method is dictated by the need to appeal to the individual intrasubject experience of the individual, appeal to the system of meanings and values through which a person perceives the surrounding reality, forms an idea of the world and of itself. The paper uses the associative experiment method, modified method “Conditional interlocutorˮ, “Verbal-figurative translationˮ. The main parameters of semantic analysis of utterances are defined, and examples illustrating the specifics of the parameters are shown. The main parameters of semantic analysis of utterances are defined, and examples illustrating the specifics of the parameters are shown. The semantic characteristics of drawing images of the “resourceˮ are substantiated, and their qualitative and quantitative representation in the group of teenagers is shown. Using the method of semantic analysis of statements and analysis of graphic images allows getting versatile data for the formation of the semantic field of the concept under study. The analysis of statements makes it possible to structure variants of meanings and the degree of awareness of the concept. Graphical analysis helps to identify the individualisation of semantics.
