| Summary: | The importance of understanding the human capacity for understanding and predicting the course of events is important in any society and in any time. The paper is aimed at analyzing the characteristic features and methodological foundations of the psychosemantic approach to investigating anticipation in psychology. The study of the individual’s life anticipation is of particular interest since it is done in terms of the system of constructs formed by each individual. Psychosemantic research of one’s own life anticipation should follow a scheme, which includes:
a) detection of a system of constructs chosen by the individuals, and evaluation of the future in the context of those constructs; b) studying intercorrelations and (or) subjective probabilistic relationships between constructs; c) establishing hierarchical relationships of superordination and subordination between the constructs. These intercorrelations and subjective probabilistic approaches are de?ned with the help of the probabilistic differential method complementary.
