| description | The image of the world is a set of space-temporal and value-semantic chronotopic components. It is a functional system of psychological adaptation to the constant changes in the human lifeworld. The COVID-19 pandemic is a model of severe changes in lifeworld and lifestyle. The research objective was to identify the chronotopic characteristics of the image of the world in a crisis. The study was conducted twice, i.e. before the outbreak and during the period of maximum restrictions, and featured 92 people. The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the structure of the image of the world. The changes occurred in the orientation of the identification of one’s characteristics, followed by a certain reorientation of these characteristics from the national and civil identity to the human one. The family-role components of the self-image became more significant. The past perspective expanded, while the future perspective shrank. The emotional coloring of the present became more negative, the past was seen as positive, while the future appeared moderately optimistic. All three time modes proved to be more event-filled. These processes were observed against the background of the polarization of value preferences. The level of meaningfulness of life showed multidirectional dynamics, probably, as a result of different crisis-coping mechanisms with different levels of productivity. The pandemic restructured all components of the image of the world, which had a mobilizing and productive character. |
