Consideration of personal determinants that determine semantic formation

Background. Semantic set, semantic disposition, semantic construct, motive, needs, values and meaning of life form the subject's biased attitude to the objects and phenomena of the objective reality surrounding him and, thus, become personal determinants that determine the process of semantic formation. At the moment, a significant amount of analytical research has accumulated on the personal determinants of meaning formation, which requires theoretical and methodological understanding.
The analytical approach greatly facilitates research, in some cases, allowing us to inductively summarize a significant array of research results on the problem of meaning formation conducted in domestic psychology. At the same time, the analytical approach leads to the fact that the subject is studied "in parts", outside the context of a broader system, as a result of which the ideas about it are disjointed and unsystematic. An isolated study of the determinants of meaning formation leads to the loss of a holistic picture of the formation of a subject's personal and biased attitude to the objects and phenomena of reality.

Purpose – is to examine the current state of personal determinants that determine personal attitudes towards objects and phenomena of objective reality, and to substantiate the need to move from an analytical to a more mature epistemological, systemic phase of their study.

Materials and methods. The work uses comparative historical and bibliographic methods to study the problem of personal determinants of semantic formation.
The comparative historical research method allowed us to trace the main stages of studying the determinants that determine the personal attitude of the subject to the objects and phenomena of the objective reality surrounding him.
The main objective of the bibliographic method in this work is to analyze existing scientific approaches to personal determinants that determine the transformation of objective reality into subjective reality. The research version of the bibliographic method was used to consider the available approaches in order to substantiate the advantages of the structural-level approach in the study of personal determinants that determine the specifics of subjective attitudes to objects and phenomena of objective reality.
The work is based on a set of sources presented by articles, monographs and textbooks on the problem of meaning formation.

Results. The main scientific results of this work: the paper substantiates the need to move from the analytical to the systemic phase of the study of personal determinants of meaning formation: semantic set, semantic disposition, semantic construct, motive, needs, values and meaning of life; it is indicated that based on the concept of a dynamic semantic system (DSS), it is possible to combine the personal determinants of semantic formation into a connected and unified epistemological system; a methodological basis is proposed – a systematic approach that will allow us to consider the personal determinants of meaning formation as interrelated parts of the DSS.

An integrative study of the personal determinants of meaning formation as the content of different levels of DSS will make it possible to better understand the process of forming personal and subjective attitudes towards objects and phenomena of reality and advance in a theoretically and methodologically sound understanding of the process of meaning formation in psychology as a whole.
