EMOTIONAL COMPONENT OF THE IMAGE OF WELL-BEING IN STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS

The article considers the issues of well-being from the standpoint of psycholinguistic and psycho-semantic approaches. The role of the emotional component of the image of well-being in determining the subjective well-being of an individual is shown. Emotive vocabulary is studied as a marker of the subjective significance of ideas about well-being. The emotional component of the image is analyzed through the prism of denotative-ideographic and functional-semantic analysis. The study involved undergraduate students (258 people) of the socio-humanitarian directions of universities. The free association method was used to collect data: participants were asked to give three associations in the form of verbs, nouns, adjectives to the word "well-being". It was shown that the emotional component of the image of well-being in the students' ideas is characterized by such categories of emotive vocabulary as happiness, joy, love, calm, attraction. Functional and semantic categories of emotive vocabulary are presented unevenly. The most pronounced are emotional characterization, emotional attitude and emotional state.
