Language model of meaning making for self - cultivation of person's values structure

The aim of this study is to develop the language model of meaning making for self-cultivation of person's values structure. The sample group consisted of 23 Russian-speaking second year students doing a degree in social work (4 men and 19 women), and they were asked to write an essay. We used psycho-semantic and content analysis to examine the structure of a language model for self-cultivation of person's values structure. Psycho-semantic analysis and content analysis discovered and confirmed empirically the language model of meaning making for self-cultivation of person's values structure. Also, the results showed that the model better suits to the descriptive text, and is closely connected with theoretical assumptions. The model presented in the study illustrates a multi-dimensional approach. It focuses on the linguistic and semantic dimensions. On the other hand, the model presented in this study is a new explanatory model. It can serve as a basis for further research in the field of self-cultivation of person's values structure, it will also help to clarify the process of self-cultivation and explain the cases of self-organization of the person's values structure.
