Abstract

This article purpose is to highlight methodological issues of modern forensic psychology analysis, to draw attention to multifaceted reality meaning  acquiring different forms and manifesting itself in different psychological effects. Independent invariant statements of meaning definition in various psychological concepts are outlined, and its ontological, phenomenological and functional aspects in these concepts are considered. Using general theoretical methods of scientific knowledge, the main differences between cognitive and discursive psychology from theoretical basis point of view of psychological phenomena are distinguished. A number of methodological issues related to the solution of urgent expert tasks of modern forensic psychology analysis are highlighted (taking into account comments of expert practitioners regarding peculiarities of conducting multidisciplinary psychological and linguistic examinations). Referring to expert practice, object and topic of psychological research according to traditional and modern types of forensic psychological evaluations, as well as tasks solved by forensic expert psychologist during interview with polygraph use are defined. A complex of empirical methods used by expert psychologists to highlight specific aspects of semantic reality during expert research is given. Six varieties of dynamic semantic system of an individual are distinguished (personal sense, semantic attitude, motive, semantic disposition, semantic construct and personal value), which expert psychologist should take into account when analyzing phenomena and regularities of semantic regulation of human activity and consciousness in legally significant situations.
