The Image of Political Conflict: Evaluation Semantic Universals in Students’ Individual Mind

Abstract. The paper is focused on the study of the political conflict image from the perspective of psychosemantics. The integral psychosemantic approach to the political conflict allowed establishing semantic universals viewed as students’ evaluation of the conflict’s image. Among the parameters were active, dangerous, open, rational, moral, close, aggressive, etc. The results of the students’ semantic space study through the semantic differential showed that the semantic constructs of “political conflict” image as reflected in the minds of the students, and “real political conflict” image are different, since the reality is able to change their cognitive interpretation and emotional attitude
