Abstract
Concepts of sense formations are now somewhat controversial and fragmentary, which complicates purposeful work with them in the course of psychological correction and education. The meanings of the subject of activity, as well as the natural prerequisites of the individual’s meanings, are still very poorly clarified. The aim of the research was to find for new methodological bases for the creation of a holistic and multilevel theoretical model of meaning formations, with an emphasis on their emotional aspects. Theoretical method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete in its modernized Hegelian version is aimed at analyzing the formation of essential properties of any developing formation in the course of its real development. Meanings, like many psychological phenomena, are human (for there are no “inhuman” meanings), manifesting the essential nature of man. From this point of view, the above method of “ascent” is productive for creating a multilevel model of forms of meaning formations. In general, the work shows the possibility of “linking” the forms of meanings to four levels of ontogenesis: an individual, subject of activity, personality and integrative individuality. The prerequisites of the individual’s meanings (dominant) are revealed, the operational-target meanings of the level of the subject of activity are specified, the features of understanding of personal meaning in existential and humanistic interpretation are revealed. In the key of approaches of cultural-historical psychology the concept of “conventional-normative personal meanings” is introduced. Connections of meanings with emotional aspects are traced. The results of the work are applicable to the construction of a unified theory of meanings, as well as in the practice of their education and correction. The genesis of integrative individuality at “ascent” allows to understand the peculiarities of its meaning-life experiences, the emphasized connection of which with some emotional aspects is significant for the work of a school psychologist.
