Abstract

The article describes the attempt of technique development and approbation devoted to diagnostic of person’s position in a social situation. The notion of “position” is regarded as a method of forming a relationship with human society. Individual’s position in the world is produced by activities and is realized through human relationship with the social situation. Two person’s positions in the process of the forming relationships with the surrounding reality were highlighted: 1) analyst-observer position; 2) activist position. The technique contains the projective stimulus material — proverbs. The material provides an opportunity to consider the individual’s position through interpretation of various social situations represented in proverbs. The technique was tested within four phases. Basing on the received results it is possible to design further development of multi-level analytical framework for understanding person’s position in the modern society
