Subjective political picture of the world: theoretical and methodological foundations

The article considers theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of subjective political picture of the world. Cross-temporal analysis allows demonstrating the process and dynamics of formation of the concepts of picture of the world and political picture of the world in the subject-object system of interactions. The behaviorist approach, the theory of action and the theory of communicative activity set the necessary methodological framework for analyzing the conceptual structure and model image of the subjective political picture of the world, its role in the process of political decision-making. The subjective political picture of the world is understood as a personalized conceptually structured image of political events, situations, plans, action plans within the subject's life world. The author shows that the subjective political picture of the world acts as an evaluative and predictive system of coordinates in the variety of political events, and has the ability to analyze events and describe behavioral motives and consequences of political decision-making.
