POTENTIALS OF USING THE NARRATIVE AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF PARENTAL ATTITUDE

Abstract

The article discusses the features of applying the procedure for the analysis of the narratives in studying emotional experiences of the subjects. Special attention is paid to the coverage of the language settings used by the population representatives for describing their experience, which is a significant component of modeling the process which analyzes the context of experiences. Besides, a number of the studies are highlighted, which study the narratives of mothers with use of the “Linguistic analysis and word count” (by Pennebacker). The narratives mentioned demonstrate the interrelationship between the language settings of their responses and the characteristics of parental attitudes.
