INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO TYPES OF CHRONOTOPICAL ORGANIZATION OF HUMAN LIFEWORLD

Abstract

The paper focuses on the complex, non-linear nature of relations between the parameters of value-semantic sphere and features of human temporal perspective. Time perspective and value-semantic dimensions of human life-world are considered in their interdependence with each other within a holistic process of life-fulfillment, in relation to which they act as ―cross-cutting‖ symptoms; for this purpose individual characteristics of this relations are defined by features of human chronotopic organization. The time perspective, considered in unity with value-semantic dimensions of human lifeworld, is revealed in a new meaningful composition (which includes the meaning of life orientation, existential performance, basic beliefs, meaningful goals) acting as an element in the structure of higher-transspective life-fulfillment. On the basis of empirical data, typological methods of chronotopic life-world organization are identified and described. It is shown that the features of time perspective and value-semantic characteristics, that are consolidated in the image of the person‘s world, are associated with their preference for one or another field of employment as one of the basic components of adult lifestyle. The paper demonstrates empirical evidence that awareness and harmonization of temporary locuses of value and semantic parameters gives a person a real opportunity to find their ―inner center‖, switch to selfdetermination and choose an emotionally rich, meaningful live.
