Abstract

The aim of the article is to substantiate the role of interpretation as one of the leading mechanisms of a developing personality experience constructing. Discursive experience constructing in the context of the psychological and hermeneutic approach is defined as the bringing of socio-cultural and personal information into the system, the organization of such information into coherent structures that help to understand its sense. It is determined that the discursive experience constructing involves the process of its transformation from personal experience to personality experience - mastered, appropriated, understood, assimilated, interpreted, that is built by the personality. Interpretation is defined as the comprehension of the text, which leads to seeing in the message some sense that is missing in the text itself. It is a mechanism of semantic enrichment of the text, which is carried out by the immersion in the context of personality, activity, culture. It sets certain interpretive frameworks (or schemes), which, on the one hand, limit the semantic space of the text, allowing to reject irrelevant meanings, on the other – expand it, enriching it with a new understanding of the message, thus contributing to the generation of new senses. The discourse is interpreted as a text in the context of its generation and perception. The interaction of external and internal contexts plays an important role in the interpretation process, which enables the synthesis of a new sense, which provides a discursive construction of personality experience. It is shown that one of the conditions of the personal experience interpretation and its transformation into personality experience is the formation of a person basic metacognitions – reflection, decentration, intellectual initiation and strategic intellect.
