Personality profiles of meaning-building strategies

Abstract

Meaning formation strategies are one of the integral regulators of modern human activity. To model semantic regulation, two polar strategies of semantic formation are considered: adaptive and developing. The sphere of personal meanings is in mutual agreement with the personality traits manifested in interactions. The article presents the results of empirical identification of polar semantic strategies profiles based on semantic scales of personality traits. We studied a sample (n = 145) with gradations by age, gender, and occupation. Both differences and similarities in the profiles of polar semantic strategies were established. This indicates the dynamics of the world image of the experiencing subject, which reflects the different effects of strategies for the meanings formation.
