UNDERSTANDING AND COMPREHENSION THE CATEGORY "EXPERIENCING " IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIETAL, CULTUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES

Abstract

The article presents the results of a theoretical and analytical review of the category of "experiencing" in the context of societal, cultural and psychological approaches. From the standpoint of the societal approach, experiencing is affective-cognitive complexes that have behavioral expressions that depend on the situation of interaction and the socio-structural context. In the aspect of the culturological approach, experiencing is considered as a sign-symbolic system of meanings with an instrumental mechanism of emotive semantics, contributing to the formation of an emotional picture of the world, and realizing itself within the boundaries of discourse. Experience carries out a discursive process of reconstructing the semantic meanings of the subject's cultural values in the context of historical changes in society. In psychological science, experiencing is a mental process that integrates the affective, cognitive and conative spheres of the personality structure, aimed at subjective and social activity. In the process of experiencing, the mechanism of reflection has a meaning-generating function.
