"Sibling" Methods of Psycho Diagnostics
The article gives justification to a new approach in psycho diagnostics -sibling methods. They are alternative versions of one technique (questionnaire, projective, psycho semantics), allowing to research a psychical reality episode selected by a single base at various levels of the world image. The approach is being developed to get rid of difficulties and limitations of separate types of diagnosing and make a combination of different types of techniques methodologically correct. The article presents the data of empirical investigations directed to the comparison of questionnaire and projective techniques measuring the same personality characteristics (life support system, individual personality peculiarities, and internal proneness to conflicts). In the process of investigation it was revealed that in spite of the same subject of diagnosis every separate technique was very effective. The results of the techniques are weakly comparable. The correlation analysis shows weak links between indicators of the same level of life-support system. The creation of sibling versions such as a questionnaire, a projective test, semantic differential and their complex use allow to measure psychical reality on different levels of representation (level of semantic formula, constructs, implicit models and nuclear structures).
