| Popis: | Introduction. Research on the ethno-cultural characteristics of the image of the world in the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North is important. This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation of the image of the world (a semantic layer) among young representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North. This study is the first report on the application of a three-level model of the image of the world for describing its characteristics among young representatives of indigenous ethnic groups. Methods. The study sample comprised 225 individual participants aged 16–25 years, living in the North and Northeast of Russia, 110 of whom were representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North and 115 of whom were representatives of the non-indigenous population. The study employed the group associative experiment. Results and Discussion. The findings indicate the presence of non-random differences in the structures of semantic assessments, which indicates the presence of specific characteristics of the semantic layer of the image of the world among representatives of indigenous peoples of the North. In the group of representatives of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North the first ranks in associations with the ‘my life five years ago’ stimulus correspond to the following descriptors: ‘school’, ‘study’, and ‘friends’; with the ‘my life now’ stimulus – ‘study’, ‘work’, and ‘sports’; with the ‘my life five years later’ stimulus – ‘work’, ‘family’, and ‘children’; with the ‘nature’ stimulus – ‘beauty’, ‘forest’, and ‘animals’; with the ‘human’ stimulus – ‘kind’, ‘friend’, and ‘reasonable’; and with the ‘happiness’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘love’, and ‘children’. In the group of representatives of the non-indigenous population the North the first ranks in associations with the ‘my life five years ago’ stimulus correspond to the following descriptors: ‘school’, ‘friends’, and ‘carefree’; with the ‘my life now’ stimulus – ‘study’, ‘love’, and ‘work’; with the ‘my life five years later’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘work’, and ‘children’; with the ‘nature’ stimulus – ‘forest’, ‘beauty’, and ‘sea’; with the ‘human’ stimulus – ‘kind’, ‘personality’, and ‘reasonable’; and with the ‘happiness’ stimulus – ‘family’, ‘love’, and ‘children’. The differences observed when comparing associative semantic universals indicate that associative links are determined by differences in subjective experiences and cultural contexts. |
