Psycho-semantic Spheres of the Personality Among Correctional Facility Employees

In this study, we describe the theoretical and methodological bases of research of psycho-semantic spheres of the psyche of correctional facility employees (CFE'S). We define psycho-semantic spheres of the personality of CFE'S represented by the most important components forming a self-image "I," an image of work/activity, a group of affective components and groups of components concerning destructive motives. We describe specific structures, contents and relations of the psycho-semantic spheres of the personality of CFE'S in the optimized and mismatched states, which could predict behavior of CFE'S in the different correctional emergency situations. © 2008 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC.
