Analysis of Psychosemantic System of Family Goal-Directedness in Men

1036

Abstract

The paper presents outcomes of an empirical study on the psychosemantic system of goal-directedness in men. The hypothesis of our study was that family semantic criterion would help reveal psychosemantic integrity and explore its structural and functional organization. A modified version of I.L. Solomin’s technique of semantic differential allowed us to obtain dendrograms of concepts in men who are married and have children and to carry out comparative analysis. The family semantic criterion help to reveal the following: 1) the psychosemantic integrity and its meaning-making concepts that dominate according to the value factor: “My future wife and holidays” in young adult- hood and “Birth of a child” in middle adulthood; 2) the structural organization of integrity revealing representations about parents’ and modern generations of family; 3) the functional organization of the system, procedural quality of which is determined by the dynamics of meaning-making values and psychosemantic content of functional categories. The paper concludes that exploring the psy- chosemantic system of family goal-directedness contributes to expand theoretical and practical approaches in family psychology.
