Pictogram as a Metod of Research of Thinking Convicted Мen
An analysis of graphic images, obtained in the research of 15 convicted men sentenced to imprisonment by the pictogram method has been carried out. Among the images selected by the imprisoned attributive and concrete images with greater individual and emotional significance predominate. The thinking of this group of people is characterized, on the one hand, by banality, adherence to conventional stereotypes, and, on the other hand, by the presence of specific features, showing in individually significant images as well as in the original symbolism of the imprisoned. These features are the evidence of estrangement, egocentrism and significant influence of the emotional component on the cognitive proesses of this group of people.
