Abstract
Aim. The article presents the results of a research aimed at studying the social representations about assistant figures using the semantic differential method among respondents with different religious identity intensity.
Methodology. K. Leach’s “Model of measuring the in-group identification” and the method of semantic differential were used as research methods. Descriptive statistics method and methods of analytical statistics of data processing (multiple comparison method of the H-test by Kruskal-Wallis) were also used.
Results. The evaluation of assistant figures such as “Priest”, “Parent”, “Friend”, “Beloved person”, “My-Self” by persons with high, medium and low religious identity intensity was studied. The results were obtained by the semantic differential method, which made it possible to draw psychosemantic spaces and correlate the semantic proximity of these figures. It was revealed that semantic intersections of the proposed constructs were not found.
Research implications.Research data deepen the theoretical and practical elaboration of providing psychological assistance to the Orthodox believers.
