Abstract

Research method for the study of political practices as a factor of structuring of the political picture of the world of youth is based on the combination of social and political discourse analysis (content analysis), psycho semantic methods and projective method. The logic for constructing practices research instruments first of all envisaged identification of “a set” of political and civic practices represented in the society political discourse (content analysis). Discourse analysis made it possible to determine the themes which are the most productive for the political practices research (interaction foundations, influence methods, communication organization, and law obedience) and narrative “propositions” that reveal semantic context of the political interaction discourse within each of the themes. The identified themes and propositions were used as the basis for developing a psycho-semantic questionnaire. Another fundamental element was the idea about two basic models of political behavior (problem “avoidance” and “solution”) and their typical characteristics. Expediency of projective techniques and experimental psycho semantics use which allows actualizing of unconscious layers of the political consciousness of young people is shown. Such approach also allows to explore the meanings and values that structure youth’s political picture of the world and identify the characteristics of practices represented in the interaction discourse of political socialization subjects.
