Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: base of the following presentation blocks in an electronic form is created: optimisation (OPT) block containing verbal stimuli "Calm down" and "Relax", the use of which is aimed at reduction of the of psychoemotional stress level of the tested person; semantic block (SEM), consisting of semantic stimuli in the form of questions, with a maximum number of signs 32, including gaps, the use of which is aimed at identification of the level of subjective significance of the stimuli grouped into semantic groups according to a specified feature; meaningless block (ML), consisting of alternating numbers, a total of 17 to 23, the use of which is aimed at identification of the neutral response level of the tested person; reference block (REF) containing verbal stimuli "Too early" and "Too late", the use of which is aimed at revealing of the negative response level of the tested person; operational block (OP), containing stimuli in the form of geometric figures - a square, a circle and a triangle, the use of which is aimed at increasing of the concentration level of the tested person. At that, SEM, REF or OPT blocks are always located between two ML blocks. Prior to testing, the sensors and fine motility of the test subject are adapted to the tests. During testing, the response to stimuli in the form of motor reactions of the tested person is determined: the time of computer mouse button pressing after the stimulus is presented, the time of mouse button retention and the time of release. A stimulus is presented in the center of the monitor screen, operating at a fixed frequency of 60 Hz, on a black background in white letters and/or numbers. As questions, the SEM block uses 2-4 verbal phrases in the past tense from the first person. After a SEM block question is presented, it is masked with a stimulus from the ML block, for which a masker in the form of an indiscriminate set of numbers is presented on the spot of the presented question within 500-700 ms, withstanding a pause of 150-250 ms. When the masker is presented, the response limits are set from 100 ms to 700 ms. The frequency of masked questions presentation is varied depending on the time of the tested person response. The time of presentation of the selected stimulus type on the monitor screen is 16-34 ms with strictly fixed time of presentation of the same stimuli and various time of presentation of different types of stimuli. The level of operator readiness is supported by the presentation of unconscious stimuli of the OP block (square, circle, triangle), alternating with SEM with a frequency of 1-2 times per minute. The total test duration is 8-25 minutes for presentation of 60-130 questions of the SEM unit, structured as 6-13 thematically meaningful groups. The methods of non-parametric statistical processing are used to determine the significance of each motor reaction of the tested person to the stimulus, the subjective significance of the stimulus - the difference between the average resultant velocity of motor reactions for the same SEM stimulus and the averaged resultant rate of motor responses to ML stimuli.

EFFECT: method provides high accuracy and reliability of diagnostics of real, sincere experiences, human representations, concealed feelings, plans, intentions, conscious and unconscious attitude of a person to himself, others, to various activities and motivations, the strength of various human needs.

Description

The field of technology.

The invention relates to medicine and can be used in psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, narcology, neuropsychology, as well as in solving various applied problems of a highly specialized purpose, such as identifying real human motives, including those that he hides from other people, diagnostics of real (real) representations and experiences of a person, feelings, intentions and intentions concealed by him by means of automated construction of a semantic sphere of a person.

Designations (determinations).

The following notation (determination) is used in the description below.

Psychosemantic testing is a psychological technique or method by which the structures of the consciousness of the subject, the individual system of meanings and the isolation of categorical structures are studied using the results of modeling using appropriate algorithms based on technical means.

Experimental psychodiagnostics is a branch of psychology that develops a theory, principles, and tools for assessing and measuring individual psychological characteristics of a person using various experimental methods that are implemented in practice using technical means.

The unconscious sphere is a combination of mental processes, operations and conditions that are not represented in the consciousness of the subject.

Real representations and experiences are images of objects, scenes and events that arise on the basis of their recall, rather than a productive imagination, as well as a mental state characterized by the presence of experienced impressions, sensations or emotions.

Psychoanalysis is a complex of psychodiagnostic and psychotherapeutic methods, as well as a direction in psychology, focused on the study and explanation of unconscious mental processes and phenomena.

Thin diagnostics of borderline states is a definition according to [http://www.psychologos.ru/articles/view/yadro_lichnosti; Freud Z. Psychology of the unconscious. - M: Education, 1990. - S. 39-310].

Actual status is a status that determines the psychological state of a subject in a given specific period of time.

Intrapsychic conflicts are intersystem and intrasystem conflicts. At the same time, intersystem conflicts reflect clashes between desires or forces emanating from different mental systems, and intrasystem conflicts are a confrontation of the components of the same material mental structure.

The deep and true meaning of mental activity is that which is determined by the content of the unconscious spheres of the psyche of the person being examined.

Psychosounding is a method or method of interviewing the subject’s psyche according to a special technique, by presenting to the subject an irritant in the form of words, images transmitted to the subject bypassing his conscious perception.

The semantic base of stimuli is a set of stimuli (questions) for carrying out certain procedures of psychosounding.

A sign orientation is a positive or negative direction of signs.

Negative emotional significance is negative emotions that have direct significance for the subject, and which are reflected in the consciousness of the importance of events occurring with a person.

Positive emotional significance is positive emotions that are of direct relevance to the subject, and which are reflected in the consciousness of the importance of events occurring with the person.

The hold reaction is the time interval between pressing and releasing a button (a mouse-type manipulator).

The optimal number of presentations of a particular stimulus is the number of presentations sufficient to determine the emotional significance of the respondent, but one that does not exceed the number of presentations, after which the effect of suggestion occurs.

Psychocorrection is an activity aimed at correcting the characteristics of psychological development with the help of special means of psychological influence, i.e. It is aimed at the formation of the necessary psychological qualities in a person.

Sensory is a mental process, which is a mental reflection of individual properties and conditions of the external environment, which occurs when a direct impact on the senses, differentiated perception by the subject of internal or external stimuli and stimuli with the participation of the nervous system.

Fine motor skills are a set of coordinated actions of the nervous, muscle and bone systems of a person, often in combination with the visual system, which is expressed in the performance of small and precise movements of the hands and fingers and toes.

The presentation structure is a collection of links of stimulus presentation blocks.

Conscious visual stimuli are stimuli that trigger the process of participation of consciousness, the emergence of new understandings (meanings) and figures by focusing consciousness on the stimulus.

Additional reactions of fine motor skills are involuntary movements generated by the reaction of a specific sense organ.

A person’s past is part of a timeline consisting of events that have already occurred; it is opposite to the future and opposed to the present.

The present of a person is a part of the timeline, consisting of events that are happening now.

The future of man is part of the line of time and events that have not yet occurred.

The presentation optimization block is a stimulus block that modifies a person’s psychological state.

Psycho-emotional stress is a variety of unfavorable emotional states associated with dissatisfaction with the basic vital needs of a person: frustration, discomfort, stress, anxiety, depression, state of dissatisfaction, etc.

A psychocorrective effect is a change in a person’s psychological state.

A suggested impact is an impact that leads to random perception and memorization without first understanding the content of the impact.

AIC is a hardware-software complex.

DDO is a differential diagnostic questionnaire.

PSS is the abbreviation of the initial letters of the phrase Psycho Scan System.

A stimulus is the influence of an external factor.

A masked stimulus is a stimulus, after which the masker is presented.

An unconscious period is the time interval from the presentation of the stimulus to the moment of its realization.

The conscious period is the time from the moment the stimulus is realized.

Transcoding a stimulus is the process of converting a stimulus into a type of frequency of nerve impulses and their patterns.

A psychosemantic (neurosense) code is a (technical) tool, according to which the word under study is encrypted in the electrical impulses of the brain, regardless of its semantic content. The resulting impulse activity of neurons (code) is addressed to the long-term memory accumulated as a result of individual experience, activating it. After activating long-term memory, a new electrical cipher appears - a semantic code.

Engrams of memory are a set of changes in the nervous tissue that ensure the preservation of the effects of reality on a person. Engram is the physiological basis of memory. Two types of engrams are distinguished in terms of their meaningful characteristics: images — engrams whose structures reflect the structures of previously perceived objects, and action models — engrams whose structures reflect the programs of action. Between engrams can form a stable associative connection.

Reconciliation of a stimulus is a comparison of the reaction values of one stimulus with another.

The significance of the stimulus is the significance of the corresponding response to the presentation of the stimulus.

Verbalization of a stimulus is a verbal description of a stimulus.

Verbal-alphabetic code - these are words (letters), presented in the form of impulse activity of neurons.

The process of “internal uttering of thoughts” is a process of thinking with the pronunciation of thoughts “about yourself”.

The mechanism of "internal dialogue" is a sequence of states, processes that determine the continuous internal communication of a person with himself, intrapersonal autocommunications.

Unconscious perception mode - this is perception in an unconscious period.

Right-hand (subconscious) is imaginatively intuitive thinking.

Left hemisphere (conscious) is a verbal-logical thinking.

Incentive masking is the process of presenting a masker immediately after the presentation of the stimulus.

The threshold of awareness is the line between the unconscious and the conscious periods.

The “fading” trail effect is a rapidly fading trail of a stimulus. The reactivity of the respondent's perception is his ability to perceive quickly.

A subjectively positive emotional modality is a subjective factor that interacts with an objective factor; in this case, the subjective component provides for a positive attitude of the subject of the assessment to its object.

Internal speaking is the hidden physiological activity of the organs of speech.

The brevity of stimulus presentation time is a very short time span of presentation of stimulus.

The value (magnitude) of the respondent’s temperament is the respondent’s temperament, expressed as numerical values.

Randomization is an arrangement of these or those objects, values in a random order.

The degree of an altered state of consciousness is the (conditional) value of the magnitude of a change in consciousness.

Cognitive (cognitive) activity is an activity that relies on the cognitive (cognitive) abilities of reflection, assessment and modeling of reality.

Mental processes of perception of information are processes associated with the perception and processing of information. These include sensation, perception, representation, memory, imagination, thinking, etc.

The psychophysiological phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon that has its own representation at the physiological level.

A nice part of the autonomic nervous system is a part of the autonomic (vegetative) nervous system, the ganglia of which are located at a considerable distance from the organs that are inverted.

The parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system associated with the sympathetic nervous system and which is functionally opposed to it.

The degree of subjective significance of a stimulus is the subjective significance of a stimulus, expressed in a conditional value.

The accuracy of fixing the response rate of the respondent is the minimum period of time that allows you to record the difference between the responses of the respondent.

Allowed response limits are the length of time in which the response causes the error "TOO TOO LATE" or "TOO LATE".

The effect of automatic response is a response with a certain rhythm.

Entering the rhythm of presenting questions is an adaptation to the rhythm of the frequency of presenting questions.

The critical number of errors is 15 or more errors per minute.

A presentation block is a group of stimuli that are presented.

The thematic-semantic block of presentation is a group of stimuli that carry a semantic load.

A meaningless presentation block is a group of stimuli that have no meaning.

Presentation reference blocks are stimuli that trigger a perceptual defense reaction.

Presentation operator block is a group of presentation of geometric figures, which serves to fulfill the operator’s task during the test.

The “trace” value of the subjective significance of responding to a future stimulus is an insignificant part of the significance of responding to a future stimulus.

A “zero” value is a value that does not have a directional sign. A “working” group is a response stimulus group that can be processed.

A “defense” (defense) reaction is a perceptual defense reaction.

Differentiation of emotional modality is a derivative differentiation of various emotional states.

The method of "microcluster analysis" is a multidimensional statistical procedure that collects data containing information about a sample of objects, and then organizes the objects into relatively homogeneous groups.

Nonparametric statistical processing is nonparametric methods that are not based on the estimation of parameters (such as mean or standard deviation) in describing the sample distribution of the studied value. Therefore, these methods are sometimes also called parameter free or freely distributed.

“Typical” shifts are shifts that can be combined into one group according to a specific attribute, and which represent the majority of all shifts.

Atypical shifts are shifts that can be combined into one group according to a certain attribute, and which represent the minority of all shifts.

The subjective significance of the stimulus is the subjective emotional significance of the corresponding response to the presentation of the stimulus.

RAG is a skin-galvanic reaction.

Phase activity is the processes that occur much faster against the background of tonic activity; the characteristic time of their course is from tenths to units of seconds. It is the phase activity that characterizes the reaction of the organism to an external stimulus to a greater degree and is called the phase component of RAG.

Anticipation is the ability of the system in one form or another to anticipate the development of events, phenomena, results of actions.

DBMS is a database management system.

Neocortex - these are new areas of the cerebral cortex, which are only outlined in lower mammals, and in humans comprise the bulk of the cortex. The new cortex is located in the upper layer of the cerebral hemispheres, has a thickness of 2-4 mm and is responsible for higher nervous functions - sensory perception, execution of motor commands, conscious thinking and, in humans, language.

Prohibiting commands are short instructions of imperative prohibiting anything, for example, “Stop!”, “You cannot!”, “Stop!”, “Forget it!” Etc.

Detailing the specificity of significance is an opportunity to consider the significance of both a single stimulus and a group of stimuli, united by a common thematic feature.

Exogenous actualization is actualization caused by external causes.

Endogenous actualization is actualization caused by internal causes.

Literacy neurons are a group of neurons that enhances their electrical activity if the phrase that the subject hears / sees is grammatically correct and weakens it when it is grammatically incorrect.

Modality is the main qualitative characteristic of emotions. There are various modalities of emotions: longing, anxiety, fear, resentment, guilt, disappointment, boredom, joy, pleasure, anger and others. The sign distinguishes between positive and negative emotions. The first is desirable for a person, he seeks them, and the second is unpleasant, he avoids them. This division immediately indicates the motivational role of emotions.

The rejection effect is a process of psychological defense against anxiety that distorts or cancels awareness of the underlying conflict.

The topographic localization of the equivalents of negative emotions is a topographic mapping of the electrical activity of the brain with the localization of the sources of generation of bioelectrical vibrations that arise in nerve structures in response to external negative stimulation, and which are in a strictly defined time connection with the onset of its action.

Brain activity is seen as reflective, cognitive in nature. The main function of the brain is not to generate, conduct and integrate nerve impulses (which in itself is correct, but not enough), but to build a picture of the world and to reflect the internal states of the body, to build models (similarities, equivalents) of the world that surrounds living creature, models (similarities, equivalents) of his own body and the processes of vital activity carried out in it and the organization on this basis of adaptive actions adequate to the environment and condition of the body.

The brain mapping of objects is a system of nervous activity specific for each specific object and for each specific situation, which forms a unique spatio-temporal ensemble of excited and inhibited neurons, and which is in relation to similarity with the effect that caused it.

Affective emotional experiences are persistent negative emotional experiences.

Hyperactivation is an increase in functional activity.

Ms - milliseconds.

The level of technology.

Over the past decades, experimental methods of psychodiagnostics have received significant development, which is due to the needs of medicine, psychology, work, sports. The most common methods are aimed at studying personal characteristics, motives of activity and relationships, characteristics of social behavior, individual professional abilities, characteristics of attention, memory, etc.

Moreover, approaches to the study of individual characteristics of a person’s subjective experience are developed to a much lesser extent, allowing to reveal the core of the personality [http://www.psychologos.ru/articles/view/yadro_lichnosti] and identify the factors that influenced its formation and determined its actual status.

In clinical practice, methods of psychoanalysis are widely used, which allow for a subtle diagnosis of borderline conditions [Freud Z. Psychology of the unconscious. - M .: Education, 1990. - S. 39-310]. However, these methods of psychoanalysis and research of the subconscious are laborious, and the results of their application depend on the skill of a specialist and a number of other factors, therefore their widespread use is difficult.

A well-known research method is a "lie detector", which is designed to determine the information that is deliberately hidden [Barland G.Ν., Raskin D.C. Anavaliation of field techniques in detection of deception. - Psychophysiology, 1975, Volume 12, Issue 3. - P. 321-330], is also not a complete tool for psychosemantic analysis, since it determines only a small part of the psychosemantic elements, namely the conscious part, and accordingly it is impossible to determine unconscious intrapsychic with it conflicts.

A known method of conducting computer psychosemantic analysis, which consists in presenting from a database an automated system for constructing the semantic sphere of a person to a test person on a demonstration screen of a projecting device previously prepared in digital format, cataloged and systematized by semantic and semantic features of test stimuli or series of test stimuli. In this case, the presentation of the indicated test stimuli or a series of them is carried out in accordance with a programmable algorithm, with a predetermined frequency with a change in the exposure time of each stimulus with a vertical frequency of the projection device and with the frequency of presentation of stimuli during testing, which is regulated depending on the control action generated on the basis of analysis of the response of the test person, obtaining the response of the test person to the presented stimuli or a series of stimuli by reg page of at least one measurement of the physiological reactions of a person, registration of erroneous actions of the testee during testing by recording the response received after the specified time has elapsed, changing the order of presentation of the stimuli taking into account the perfect error and to eliminate it, measuring the physiological parameters of the test person during the presentation of the stimulus encoding measurements with the formation of at least one channel and channel analysis using the automatic method th machine classification to display information about the psychological state of the test.

Moreover, as a method of automatic machine classification, mathematical processing of measurements, methods of statistical processing are used, after which, based on the data processed by the indicated methods, quantitative and qualitative signs of responses and their relationship are established to be stored in the database and the formation of the reporting test protocol. This ensures the minimization of the influence of subjective and random factors on physiological reactions when presenting semantic stimuli, in ensuring the possibility of correction of psychoemotional states by influencing the semantic component by the consistent presentation in a conscious form of identified reliable semantic stimuli, i.e., according to the authors, an increase in efficiency is achieved and accuracy of studies of the degree of activity and severity of the psychosemantic components of individual psychophysio ogicheskih personality traits [Computer psychosemantic analysis (KSSH). Methodical guide. M., 2007 / - S. 4-5, 13, 16-17, 21, 22-23, 29-32].

The disadvantage of this method is its low reliability, as well as the impossibility of full use for psychosemantic analysis.

It is also known that during testing, the reception of the attention and gaze of the projection device being tested on the demonstration screen by organizing non-periodic or periodic interruption of the stimulus display and the presentation of pictures and / or sounds other than the stimulus, the occurrence of which the test person confirms by action, which allows, according to the authors, to achieve increase the efficiency and accuracy of studies of the degree of activity and severity of psychosemantic components of individual psychophysio ogicheskih personality traits [The use of hardware and software computer analysis psychosemantic «Mindreader 2.0» for the early detection of persons with deviant behavior among the motives of aviation personnel. Guidelines for psychologists, personnel officers and security services of aviation enterprises and educational institutions of civil aviation. - M., 2003. - S. 4, 6, 7].

The disadvantage of this method is its low reliability, as well as the impossibility of full use for psychosemantic analysis.

Patent Application PCT / US 2006/008885 dated January 13, 2006, “A Method for Psychological Testing or Teaching a Subject Using the Subconscious Image Impact,” describes a method that includes varying the subconscious period of exposure to the period of the visual subconscious stimulus shown to the subject in order to determine the effect of subconscious effects on this subject. For subliminal testing of a subject, the method uses a disguised stimulus following the visual subconscious stimulus, both images having common features and characteristics, such as color and contrast. A masked stimulus consists of encrypted subcomponents of a visual subconscious stimulus. The subconscious effect is produced by changing the number of fields or frames during which the indicated visual subconscious stimuli are displayed on an electronic display operating at a refresh rate of at least 200 Hz.

The disadvantage of this method is its low reliability, as well as the impossibility of full use for psychosemantic analysis.

As an analogue, a method of psychological testing of a person was chosen [Patent RU 2216272, IPC АВВ 5/16, publ. November 20, 2003], including the creation of databases; semantic stimuli, presenting them in an unconscious mode with masking, recording the sensorimotor reaction and statistical processing of the results, which is different in that the semantic database additionally includes visual and sound images, while increasing the accuracy of testing, presenting stimuli with adaptively variable exposure time and color, and the mask is a regular and irregular image with a change in its field in contrast, brightness and color.

The disadvantage of the analogue method is its low reliability, as well as the impossibility of full use for psychosemantic analysis.

The closest analogue (prototype) is the method of psychosounding [Patent RU 2218867, IPC AB 5/16, publ. 12.20.2003], including the presentation of semantic stimuli, both in disguised unconscious and in conscious form, recording behavioral and / or physiological reactions with determining the response time to an unconscious stimulus, grouping the measurement results in accordance with the same semantic group, their statistical processing and identifying the significance for the subject of a group of words, which is characterized in that they present in an unconscious masked form two or more semantic groups, at least one of the tested, and control, which does not carry a semantic load and consists of a number of numbers, while maintaining the level of operator readiness by presenting stimuli with different time intervals between stimuli with a given response rule, as well as stimuli of at least one semantic group presented as in conscious and in an unconscious form that contain words that are different in content, the subject determines the rule of the answer to experimentally in the process of research by acoustic and visual signals Error llamas, when statistical processing semantic comparing test group with control group of digital defining its high subjective importance to achieve reliability criterion.

As a masker, a sequence of 9-20 arbitrary digits is used, which covers the entire area of presentation of the test stimulus. The interval of presentation of stimuli is calculated as the time of the previous reaction with the addition of a random value in the range of 1-350 ms. Additionally, in the testing process, the type of error is ranked in the form of the notation “early”, “late”, “nothing”, “it was necessary to press”, “erroneous time”, and the psycho-emotional state of the patient and his personal characteristics are determined by the results. One of the semantic groups contains words that in a conscious mode were accompanied by acoustic reinforcement and an error message of the type “in vain”, and by the results of comparing it with the semantic test group, the validity of the revealed significance is confirmed.

The disadvantages of this method of the closest analogue include:

- the inability to exclude the simulation of the test by the respondent who intentionally uses his visual peripheral abilities;

- the sign orientation is not taken into account, that is, revealing the absolute significance, this method does not reveal negative emotional significance and positive emotional significance, which entails a low probability of the method, which is not more than 70%;

- the lack of registration of letting go reactions and retention reactions does not allow us to determine the stable emotional significance of the test on the stimulus, as well as the trends of motives in the future;

- there is no dynamic processing of information directly during the presentation of the test, which does not allow to determine the optimal number of presentations of a particular stimulus depending on the reactions to it and exclude the suggestion / effect of psychocorrection (which affects the reliability of the results, as well as the random risks of the final indicators);

- there is no pre-test block with an appropriate procedure that regulates the process of consciously adapting the test person to the testing method, adapting his sensorics and fine motor skills (which leads to a distortion of the reliability of the results due to the influence of stressful reactions of the test person at the beginning of the test).

Thus, all the above known methods do not allow the study of the deep and true content of mental activity, which is largely determined by the content of the unconscious spheres of the psyche of the person being examined. This is due to the fact that the tested information, being accessible to the tested person’s consciousness, is under its influence, that is, it is as if edited by the consciousness, and the subject’s reactions to the test messages voluntarily or involuntarily change.

1. To determine the reaction time of the test person, both the visual-motor reaction and the registration of the parameters of the physiological reactions of the test person were used, among which the method of evoked potentials (CAP) of the brain turned out to be the most adequate, since the CAP reaction is quick and little susceptible to adaptation. After the end of a series of experiments, a statistical analysis was carried out according to the results of each individual respondent [Fress P., Piaget J. (ed.). Experimental psychology. Vol. 5. - M .: Progress, 1975. - 284 p .; Smirnov I.V., Beznosyuk E.V., Zhuravlev A.N. Psychotechnologies: Computer psychosemantic analysis and psychocorrection at an unconscious level. - M .: Progress-Culture, 1995. - 416 p.].

Thus, this method formulated the basic principles that underlie the methodological support of psychosemantic sounding. However, in order to improve the accuracy of the method, methods were developed and identified that allowed more reliable automated determination of the semantic sphere of significance of the presented stimuli and obtaining additional data on the personality characteristics of the patient and his psychoemotional state.

The basis of the invention is the task of increasing the accuracy and reliability of the method of automated construction of the semantic sphere of a person, in particular, based on the implementation of the method of evoked potentials of the brain, by developing an effective sequence of actions and the use of computer-aided procedures and hardware that allow more reliable determination of the semantic sphere the significance of the presented incentives, as well as to obtain additional data on the personality characteristics of pa the patient and his psycho-emotional state, in particular, due to the modification of the control group, which is a series of stimuli in the form of meaningful words that are offered to the test person both consciously and unconsciously, which maintain the necessary level of operator readiness and form a reaction of anxious expectation, as well as by determining the reaction time of the test in the form of both a visual-motor reaction, and recording the parameters of the physiological reactions of the test, which, in turn, will help to reduce NIJ possibility of obtaining random results, which may increase the accuracy of the statistical processing, as well as to more fully reveal the identities of the core and highlight the factors influencing its formation.

The essence of the invention.

The specified technical problem is solved by the fact that, in a method for automatically constructing the semantic sphere of a person, including the presentation of semantic stimuli, both in disguised unconscious and in a conscious form, recording behavioral and / or physiological reactions with determining the response time to an unconscious stimulus, grouping the measurement results in accordance with their belonging to one semantic group, their statistical processing and identification of significance for a subject of a group of words, moreover, they are presented in non in a conscious masked form, two or more semantic groups, at least one of which is tested, and a control group that does not carry a meaning and consists of a series of numbers, while maintaining the level of operator readiness by presenting stimuli with different time intervals between stimuli, with a given rule response, as well as incentives for at least one semantic group, which are presented in both conscious and unconscious forms, and which contain words that are different in content, the rule is the answer and on which the test subject determines empirically during the research on the acoustic and / or visual signal of error, during statistical processing the test semantic group is compared with the control digital one, determining its high subjective significance upon achievement of the reliability criterion, as a masker use a sequence of arbitrary numbers, which cover the entire area of presentation of the test stimulus, calculate the interval of presentation of stimuli, in addition, the type is ranked during the testing process errors in the form of the designations “early”, “late”, “nothing”, “it was necessary to press”, “erroneous time”, and the results determine the psycho-emotional state of the patient and his personal characteristics, moreover, one of the semantic groups contains words that are consciously the mode was accompanied by acoustic reinforcement and an error message of the type “in vain”, and by comparing it with the semantic test group, the significance of the revealed significance is confirmed, the new is that they form the “Sense” and “Senseless” databases in electronic form x "presentation blocks, which are words, numbers, or a combination of them in random order, as well as thematic-semantic groups, which are ordered into semantic groups, for example, by topic, adapt the sensorics and fine motor skills of the test person to the tests, using preliminary testing using hardware and technical means, a behavioral and / or physiological reaction in the process of basic testing, presented in the form of three types of motor fine motor responses test, register and process using hardware and technology, and for the first type of reaction of motor fine motor skills of the test take the time to press the mouse button after presenting the stimulus to the test, for the second type of reaction of fine motor skills of the test take the retention time of the mouse button tested, for the third type of reaction motor fine motor of the test person takes the release time of the mouse button by the test person at the current moment, determine the number of presentations of the used test about the stimulus, depending on the reaction time tested for it, test questions are presented in the center of the monitor screen, operating at a fixed frequency of 60 Hz, on a black background in white letters, 2-4 word phrases are used as questions in the tests, with the maximum number of letters or signs in questions, including spaces, does not exceed 32, the frequency of presentation of masked questions in the test varies depending on the values of the reaction time of the test person to the questions posed to him during the preliminary test, time presenting a randomly selected type of stimulus to the test person on the monitor screen is selected in the range of 16-34 ms, while the same type of symbols is presented once or repeatedly with the same fixed presentation time during the entire testing process, and the presentation time of different types of symbols miscellaneous, then at the same place of presentation of the stimulus for 500-700 ms present the masker to the test, which is a random set of numbers, after which there is a pause, the value of which is chosen as Aino in the range of 150-250 ms, the level of operator readiness is supported by presenting the unconscious stimuli to the test person in the form of a simple geometric figure, for example, a square, circle or triangle, with deterministic time intervals between stimuli that are in the range of 50-100 s, the correct answer to which the testee determines independently during the testing process, and the total test duration is 8-25 minutes, during which 60-130 questions structured in 6-13 topics are presented to the test person In this way, the questions asked to the test person are generated from presentation blocks, for example, “Sense” or “Senseless”, and the question is selected by alternating first from the “Senseless” block, then from the “Sense” block, then again from the “Sense” block, and further in the same sequence, when dynamically processing the reactions of the test person during the test, the methods of nonparametric statistical processing are used, the significance of each reaction is determined, and to confirm or refute the reliability of the additional stimuli are presented additionally, gaining a statistically significant multiplicity, and during statistical processing, the response of each individual stimulus from the test semantic group of stimuli is compared with the average response of the control stimuli and the subjective significance is determined by reaching the reliability criterion in determining psychomotivities that have a stable tendency and relation to the past.

The correspondence of the three types of motor fine motor responses to the test zone of significance or the zone of insignificance is determined, and both the negative and positive emotional significance of the stimulus for the testee are identified, while the time of pressing the mouse button after presenting the test stimulus judges the emotional significance of the stimulus in real time ( N), by the time the test buttons are held by the mouse button, the emotional significance of the stimulus in the past is judged (P), and by the time the test button is released, the mouse buttons are currently tested with fishing about the emotional significance of the stimulus in the future (B).

To determine the established emotional significance of the test subject to the presented stimuli and tendencies of motives, one or more methods of nonparametric statistical processing are used in the near future.

The hardware-software visualization of the results of processing three types of reactions of motor fine motor skills of the test is carried out, depicting them in the form of histograms, for example, multi-colored, where each color in the vertical column of the “zone of insignificance” of the histograms is selected corresponding to the line characterizing the past (P), present (N) and the future (B), and in cases of reaching histograms of the “zone of significance” values, the histograms are painted using hardware-software tools in a different color than the original color, for example, in red Wow color.

Depending on the temperament of the person being tested, a priori determined, for example, on the basis of a scoring, one of three test rates is selected, characterized by randomization between the presentation of stimuli to the test, respectively, in the range of 600-1000 ms, 600-1500 ms and 600-2000 ms, and all questions are formulated and presented on behalf of the first person and in the past tense.

As methods of nonparametric statistical processing, either individual methods or a combination of three methods are used, namely, a quantitative U-criterion, G-criterion of signs and T-criterion of quality.

The time of presentation of the stimulus to the testee on the monitor screen is selected at a fixed value of 16.6 ms, and the speed of the corresponding response of the test to the questions of the test, carried out by clicking on the left button of the computer mouse, is fixed with an accuracy of 1 ms.

How hardware and technical means use a personal computer with PSS software installed in it.

These signs make up the essence of the technical solution.

The presence of a causal relationship between the set of essential features of a technical solution and the achieved, technical result is as follows.

Firstly, the proposed method is characterized in that:

- a new procedure and a block of recognizable visual stimuli in the form of geometric figures in the place of presentation of the stimuli were added to the presentation structure, which helps to focus the test person's attention in the center of the monitor and avoids simulation of the test;

- hardware-implemented experimental methods of criteria for evaluating the results, allowing to determine the sign orientation of the emotional significance of the stimulus, as well as the intensity of the response, are added to the procedure of the method;

- a procedure has been added for recording and analyzing additional reactions of fine motor skills to differentiate the emotional significance of stimuli, which is related to the past, present or future of a person;

- during the testing process, the appropriate procedure and the hardware-software optimization block of presentation are used to reduce the level of possible psychoemotional stress in the respondent;

- processing of the recorded reactions and their analysis is carried out directly during the test, which allows you to optimally adjust the number of presentations depending on the emotional significance and avoids the psycho-corrective and suggested influence on the respondent when presenting incentives.

Secondly, the method is a technical implementation using a computer tool for psychoanalysis, an accurate and reliable psychometric tool based on the experimental psychodiagnostics technique, which allows you to obtain the technical parameters of an individual value system of the unconscious sphere of a particular person or group of people and present it in the form of visual graphic images .

Psychosemantic tests provide answers to questions [Petrenko V.F. Psychosemantics of consciousness. - M.: Publishing House Mosk. University, 1988 .-- 208 p .; Petrenko V.F. Fundamentals of psychosemantics: textbook. allowance. - M: Publishing house Mosk. Univ., 1997. - 400 pp.]: what a person thinks and feels in reality, that is, oriented toward experimental discovery of the content and structure of the unconscious in the human psyche.

The purpose of the developed method:

- protection from insincerity in revealing the person’s real motives, including those that he hides from other people, the diagnosis of real ideas and experiences of a person, his feelings, intentions and intentions concealed by him;

- measurement of both conscious and unconscious relationships of a person to himself, to other people and to various types of activities, for example, diagnostics of relations to a profession, training, work in an organization, other organizations, leadership, team;

- determination of the content of motives for specific types of activity, in particular, cognitive, social, material and other motives of labor and educational activities;

- diagnostics of the strength of different needs - food, sexual, in sleep and rest, in safety, in communication, in power, which a person encounters in different life situations - at home, at work, in contact with different people.

PCT / US 2006/008885 discloses that the frequency of the monitor used in testing should be at least 200 Hz. However, it should be noted that this frequency is very high, and such monitors at the user level simply do not exist. In this application, the inventors try to minimize the margin of error when presenting incentives. However, even at a frequency of 200 Hz, such an error will be at least 5 ms, which is a significant value that significantly distorts the reliability of the results. Moreover, in the ideal case, to absolutely minimize measurement errors, this frequency should be 1000 Hz, but such monitors do not currently exist.

In addition, the known technical solutions inherent in one significant drawback, which is as follows. In the aforementioned known technical solutions, it is indicated that textual stimuli are presented in the range from 5 ms to 50 ms. However, nowhere in the descriptions is it indicated that such a significant difference is present in the claimed technical solution, which consists in the fact that the same stimulus (from the group of stimuli) must be presented during the testing in the same time interval (i.e. have a fixed time value). As a result, in all known methods, the stimuli in the test are presented with an error in the range of the error in the refresh rate of the monitor used in testing, which also significantly affects the reliability of the results.

For example, in known technical solutions, stimuli are presented to test takers at different time intervals, for example: STIMUL1 is presented for 10 ms, then STIMUL2 is presented for 15 ms, then the same STIMUL1 is presented for 12 ms, then the same STIMUL2 is presented for 18 ms. Because of this, those tested at an unconscious level have a different reaction to the stimulus, and not only because one of the stimuli is significant and the second does not matter, but because the subconscious of the tested by each of the stimuli is "irritated" for a different amount of time.

The developed technical solution based on the PSS APK does not have this drawback, since absolutely all the same type of stimuli are presented in the same time interval, which, in the particular case, is 16.6 ms. To do this, the monitor frequency should be fixed and be 60 Hz (with an error of 16.6 ms). Note that the choice of this frequency is in all modern monitors. Therefore, it is programmed in the PSS to present a stimulus, for example, at a fixed value of 16.6 ms, i.e. this error is used to achieve the declared technical result of the invention.

Thus, differences exist solely in terms of the meaning of the presented stimulus, and all other conditions of presentation are equal, and there are no differences in the time of presentation. This allows us to eliminate errors associated with the difference in responses due to different times of presentation of the stimulus. That is, in the developed technical solution, all stimuli in the test should be presented in the interval 16-34 ms, but with strictly / necessarily the same presentation time for each stimulus of the same type. This is a very significant difference of the proposed technical solution, directly affecting the reliability of the results obtained, i.e. to achieve the declared task.

Application of the developed method allows you to:

- determine the testee's belonging to a particular risk group, if he tries to hide it, for example, when applying for a job (pathological dependencies, current debt obligations, aggressiveness, suicidal intentions, frustrations, belonging to criminal structures, etc.);

- identification of gambling addiction or gambling behavior;

- determine the present (and not declared) attitude to specific persons from his environment;

- determine the intent of the theft and transmission of information;

- determine the fact of the guilty knowledge (during the investigation of an unlawful act, a person is determined who demonstrates a special attitude to circumstances that are insignificant for other circumstances and details of the case);

- identify the degree of authority of the leader in the team;

- evaluate leadership ambitions;

- determine the propensity for undue risk;

- identify the causes of neurotic disorder.

Justification of the invention.

Testing procedure. The psychosounding procedure is carried out on a separate computer in a darkened room, eliminating all distracting factors. The patient is conveniently placed in a chair, while his eyes should be at the same level with the center of the screen (monitor) at a distance of 0.5-1.5 m from him. Headphones are put on the patient, connecting them to the sound card of the computer, and a device with a button (a mouse-type manipulator) is placed in his freely lying hand to respond to the stimulus.

The beginning of testing. The testing procedure in the PSS agribusiness begins after clicking the "Start Testing" button. The testing process of the “PSS” agribusiness begins with the appearance of a message in white text on a black background: “Attention! When numbers appear on the screen, click the left mouse button. The fewer mistakes you make, the better. If ready, click the left mouse button. THE TEST BEGINS! ” This message will be presented to the test person in standby mode, which allows him to calm down, relax and tune in to the test.

Submission of test questions. The issue in PSS is a disguised incentive. The rationale for this method of presenting a question to the testee is the following description of the principle of perception of stimuli by the human psyche.

The stimulus perception process goes through two periods: unconscious and conscious. Unconscious stage (period) of perception consists of the following operations:

a) recoding of the stimulus: this is the transformation of the sensory (physical) characteristics of the stimulus into a psychosemantic (neurosense) code - the type of information in which it is stored in the subconscious (memory engram);

b) stimulus reconciliation: this is a comparison of the characteristics of the psychosemantic stimulus code with similar information stored earlier in memory engrams;

c) the significance of the stimulus: this is the result of summing up the characteristics of such an engram of memory and the presented stimulus.

The time during which an unconscious period of stimulus perception occurs is less than 100 ms. In the period from 100 ms to 250 ms after the presentation of the stimulus, the period of its awareness (verbalization) proceeds.

Any information that has been stored in engrams of memory, as a rule, contains its verbal counterpart, expressed in verbal and / or alphabetic form. The psychosemantic code is a means of manipulating information in the right (unconscious) hemisphere. Verbal-alphabetic code is a means of operating information in the left (conscious) hemisphere.

An intermediate stage between the psychosemantic and verbal-alphabetic code is the "internal utterance of thoughts" (mental communication with oneself). The mechanism of "internal dialogue" includes information encoding components that are applicable to both the subconscious and the conscious way of perceiving.

The method of presenting questions in the agro-industrial complex “PSS” reflects the mechanism of the “internal dialogue” of a person, therefore incentives are presented in the form of a verbal-alphabetic code in an unconscious mode of perception. Therefore, in the option of presenting incentive questions, which is used in the PSS agricultural complex, the corresponding response is manifested: both the right-hemisphere (subconscious) and the left-hemisphere (conscious) methods of perceiving information.

To mask the stimulus in the agro-industrial complex “PSS”, a method is used, which is an improvement developed by Smirnov I.V. method [Smirnov I.V., Beznosyuk E.V., Zhuravlev A.N. Psychotechnologies: Computer psychosemantic analysis and psychocorrection at an unconscious level. - M .: Progress-Culture, 1995. - 416 p.], Containing two components:

1. The brevity of the time of presentation of the stimulus (16-34 ms) does not exceed the threshold of awareness, which is 40-50 ms.

2. Masking the stimulus before the start of the period of awareness: in the same place where the stimulus used to be, the so-called “masker” is presented. A masker is a random set of bold digits. This type of masker allows you to most effectively "illuminate" the place of presentation of the stimulus, in order to avoid the manifestation of the effect of the "fading" trace.

In fact, the masking of the stimulus described above interrupts the conscious period of perception during the natural process of recognition of the stimulus. This allows us to exclude from the process of identifying the subjective significance of the stimulus for a person the corrective effect of his consciousness.

It was found that this method of masking incentives is effective in 90-95% of cases, therefore, 5-10% of people are characterized by increased reactivity of perception, which manifests itself in the fact that respondents manage to realize some of the proposed incentives. As a rule, incentives are acceptable that are acceptable for the tested (subjectively positive emotional modality). To eliminate the negative impact on the reliability of the result with a high level of respondent reactivity in the agricultural complex “PSS”, it is possible to adjust the values of the brevity of the incentive presentation time.

As questions in PSS tests, 2-4 verbal phrases are used (similar to how a person thinks - forms his thoughts with “internal retelling”). Mostly all questions are formulated in the first person in the past tense (for example, “I STEATED MONEY” FIRMS "). The maximum number of letters (characters) in questions, including spaces, is limited to 32.

Test questions are presented in the center of the monitor screen on a black background in white letters (approximately in this form: "I STORED FIRM MONEY"). However, the time for submitting questions is so short (17-34 ms) that a person will only have time to see the disguise of the question presented in the same place, immediately after the question (with white numbers on a black background), for example:

The frequency of presentation of masked questions in the test depends on the values of the respondent’s temperament set (on a scale) before the test. Accordingly, it is necessary to answer (respond) to the question with the same frequency by clicking on the left button of the computer mouse. Moreover, depending on the temperament of the person tested in the agro-industrial complex “PSS”, a choice of one of three rates of testing is provided:

1) randomization between the presentation of incentives is 600-1000 ms;

2) the randomization between the presentation of incentives is 600-1500 ms;

3) the randomization between the presentation of incentives is 600-2000 ms.

Getting an answer. The answer to this question (masked incentive) in the PSS agricultural complex is the speed of pressing the left button of a computer mouse. The operator’s task assigned to the respondent during the test is to press the button on the button after the test is presented with a “masker”. The simplicity of the operator’s task (for example, count up to 10 during the test) and the monotonous uniformity of its implementation (the frequency of presenting the masker is 2 times per second) leads to the fact that most of the tested after 2-3 minutes of testing are included in a certain (certain using apk pss) the degree of altered state of consciousness. In this case, a weakening of cognitive (cognitive) activity occurs, that is, "the vigilance of the indefatigable critic is lulled" [Smirnov IV, Beznosyuk EV, Zhuravlev AN Psychotechnologies: Computer psychosemantic analysis and psychocorrection at an unconscious level. - M .: Progress-Culture, 1995. - 416 p.].

Mental processes of information perception manifest themselves at the physiological level of response (the so-called psychophysiological phenomenon). The processes of perception and corresponding response proceed reflexively and are regulated unconsciously. It is the specificity of the physiological response that allows us to judge the subjective significance of information for the human psyche. Depending on individual specifics, the human body can respond to the subjective significance of information both by activation of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (accelerating the reaction), and by activation of the parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (slowing down the reaction). It is these indicators of the speed of unconscious response that is a differentiated sign of the degree of subjective significance of the stimulus (issue) in the range from plus 300 to minus 300 conventional points.

The speed of the corresponding response in the agricultural complex “PSS” is recorded using a computer processor with an accuracy of 1 ms. The minimum time for a conscious error that a person can make is 30-50 ms. So, the accuracy of fixing the respondent’s response rate in the “PSS” agro-industrial complex is 30–50 times higher than its physiological capabilities of a conscious counteraction to the testing procedure.

During repeated tests, the test takers manifest an adaptation (addiction) effect, which is accompanied by better passing of the following tests without reducing the reliability coefficient of the results.

Presentation block structure. The presentation block consists of the following sequence of steps:

one). Presentation of the stimulus for 17-34 ms.

2). The effect of attenuation after the presented stimulus (within 7-8 ms).

3). Presentation of the masker for 500-700 ms.

During the presentation of the masker, acceptable response limits are set from 100 ms to 700 ms. In the case of an early response, the error is “TOO EARLY”, and in the case of a late response, the error is “TOO LATE”.

4. A pause of 150-250 ms is selected (that is, the pause has a random value in the range of 150-250 ms). The duration of the pause is randomly varied in the range of 100 ms in order to prevent the effect of automatic response.

5. Presentation of a simple (square, circle, triangle) geometric figure with a frequency of 1-2 times per minute.

The presentation block structure is given in table 1.

Note:

a) use the font of incentives and a white marker, which are presented on a black background of a computer monitor;

b) errors are presented in the form of a white masker (in bold on a black background of a computer monitor);

c) during the testing period, only the left button of the computer mouse (for fixing the speed of pressing and depressed) and the "ESC" button (for stopping the testing procedure) is functional.

Contraindications for testing are as follows:

a) pathology of visual perception (decreased visual acuity, astigmatism, conjunctivitis, nystagmus, glaucoma);

b) an increased level of arterial (intracranial, intraocular) pressure;

c) impaired movement of the fingers (reduced micromotor; tremor, paresis, paralysis, muscle stiffness);

d) a reduced level of intellectual development;

e) acute illness or exacerbation of chronic mental illness, accompanied by persistent lability, increased or decreased psycho-emotional activity;

e) physical and / or mental exhaustion;

g) withdrawal syndrome due to the use of psychoactive (drug-containing) or sedative (hypnotic) pharmaceutical preparations.

If the answer to the question is premature - an error message is presented (in white letters on a black background): "VERY EARLY", and if the answer is belated - an error (in white letters on a black background): "TOO LATE."

After a number of errors are made, they enter the rhythm (rhythm of the movement of the finger), and upon subsequent presentation of questions, errors are usually no longer allowed to the tested.

If a person cannot enter the rhythm of presenting questions - giving answers (after taking alcohol, drugs, a high level of stress), and there are a critical number of errors, the testing procedure will be stopped. The optimal test duration is 8-12 minutes, the maximum allowable testing time usually does not exceed 20-25 minutes. During testing, it is possible to present 60-130 questions (in 3-fold presentation), structured into 6-13 thematically semantic groups (topics).

The types of presentation blocks used are presented in table 2.

Blocks of presentation are always alternated in a certain sequence: “Sense” (“Reference” or “Optimization”) block is always located between two “Senseless” blocks. The choice of such ordering of presentation blocks is due to the fact that:

a) The response to the first “Senseless” block following the “Sense” (“Optimization” or “Reference”) block, as a rule, includes an error associated with the “trace” value of the subjective significance of the response to the future stimulus. In this regard, the first "Pointless" block is not subject to statistical calculation.

b) The response to the second “Senseless” block following the “Sense” (“Optimization” or “Reference”) block, as a rule, corresponds to a “zero” value. In this regard, the second "Mindless" block is subject to statistical calculation.

All presentation blocks in the PSS test are organized into groups. The test begins with the "Preparatory" group, which can be implemented in two ways:

a) Option "Calming":

- contains only "Silly" presentation blocks;

- the frequency of presentation of the blocks: 30-90 pieces (depending on the specifics of the test);

- purpose: to optimize the psycho-emotional state of the respondent;

- It is used, as a rule, in screening tests intended for testing candidates and / or working personnel.

b) Option "Optimization":

- contains “Optimization” presentation blocks that alternate with “Pointless” presentation blocks in a 1: 2 ratio;

- "Optimization" incentives are presented randomly (random mixing);

- the frequency of presentation of the "Optimization" blocks: 15-30 pieces (depending on the specifics of the test);

- purpose: to reduce the level of respondent's psycho-emotional stress;

- It is used, as a rule, during official investigations or specialized for persons who are characterized by anxious-suspicious reactions.

In the middle of the test is the "Working" group, which:

- contains "Sense" presentation blocks that alternate with "Sense" presentation blocks in a 1: 2 ratio;

- "Sense" blocks are presented randomly (randomly)

- the optimal number of "Sense" blocks in the test is 100-120 pieces;

- "Semantic" blocks are combined into themes (thematically semantic groups);

- the optimal number of topics in the "Working" group should not exceed 8-10;

- topics in the "Working" group are presented randomly (randomly);

- the number of “Working” groups in the test is 3-5-7 multiple (depending on the specifics of the test);

- purpose: to identify the level of subjective significance of “Sense” stimuli (test questions);

- The "Operator" block alternates with the "Semantic" with a frequency of 1-2 times per minute.

The test ends with the "Reference" group:

- contains “Reference” presentation blocks that alternate with “Pointless” presentation blocks in a 1: 2 ratio;

- "Reference" incentives are presented randomly;

- the number of groups in the test is a multiple of the number of "Working" groups, that is 3-5-7 times (depending on the specifics of the test);

- purpose: to identify a negative level of response.

Note:

- the respondents make the largest number of mistakes in the first third of testing, therefore, the best effect of the formation of a “defense” (defense) reaction is manifested when “Reference” stimuli are presented precisely at the end of the test;

- test designs are applied in which a “Reference” group is placed after each “Working Group” (in order to identify the dynamics of the formation of a defensive reaction and the possibility of a statistical analysis of the response in each “Working” group separately);

- test designs are used in which the number of “Reference” groups is three times the number of “Working” groups (in order to obtain the most reliable value of the negative level of response);

- the ability to differentiate the emotional modality (positive or negative) of the subjective significance of “Sense” stimuli is a cardinal (distinctive) advantage of the agro-industrial complex “PSS” from other existing methods (methods) of the study of the psyche;

- the possibility of differentiating the emotional modality (positive or negative) of the subjective significance of “Sense” stimuli makes it possible to identify causal relationships using the “microcluster analysis” technique (applicable, as a rule, to psychological tests).

End of testing. The end of the test is indicated by the inscription (in white letters on a black background): “The test is complete! Press ESC ”, after which the test mode automatically exits.

Test result. The result of the passed test in the PSS agricultural complex is available immediately after its completion in the “Result Calculation” menu. The mode of viewing the result occurs by selecting the required test and then pressing the "Calculate" button. A popup window displays the test result. There are several filters that allow you to present the test result in different versions of their detail.

The methods of nonparametric statistical processing used in the method.

To determine the emotional significance of the presented stimuli, the PSS agro-industrial complex uses each method separately or a combination of three non-parametric statistical processing methods, which makes it possible to identify the critical point at which the maximum differences between the two comparable groups of stimuli are accumulated (summed): 1) quantitative criterion - U; 2) criterion of signs - G; 3) quality criterion - T.

U is the criterion. The criterion is intended to assess the differences between the two samples by the level of any characteristic quantitatively measured. It allows you to identify differences between small samples n ₁ , n ₂ when n ₁ , n ₂ ≥3 or n ₁ = 2, n ₂ ≥5.

There are several methods for using the U-criterion and several variants of the tables of critical values corresponding to these methods [Gubler E.V. Computational methods of analysis and recognition of pathological processes. - L .: Leningrad State University, 1978.- S. 68-91; Runion R. Handbook of Nonparametric Statistics: A Modern Approach. - M .: Finance and statistics, 1982. - S. 198; Zakharov V.P. The use of mathematical methods in socio-psychological research: textbook. allowance / V.P. Zakharov. - L .: Leningrad State University, 1985 .-- 64 p .; Krauth J. An improved upper bound for the tail probabilities of the scan statistic for testing non-random clustering. In H.H. Bock (Ed.), Classification and related methods of data analysis. Amsterdam: North Holland, 1988 .-- P.p. 237-244].

This method determines if the cross-sectional area between the two rows is small enough. The first row (sample, group) of values in which the value, according to preliminary estimates, is higher, and the second row is the one where they are supposedly lower. The smaller the cross-region, the more likely the differences are significant. Sometimes these differences are called differences in the location of the two samples [Welkowitz, J. Ewen, R. B., & Cohen, J. (Eds.), Introductory statistics for the behavioral sciences. (3d ed.). Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, publishers, 1988. - Pp 216-230]. The empirical value of the U-criterion (U _emp ) reflects how large the area of coincidence between the rows is. Therefore, the lower the _Ump , the more likely the differences are significant.

Hypotheses of the U-criterion used: Hypothesis H0: The level of the trait in group 2 is not lower than the level of the trait in group 1. Hypothesis H1: The level of the trait in group 2 is lower than the level of the trait in group 1.

In FIG. 1 - FIG. Figure 3 presents three options from the set of possible options for the ratio of two series (1st and 2nd rows) of values.

In the first embodiment (Fig. 1), the second row is lower than the first, and the rows hardly overlap. The overlap area is too small to hide the differences between the rows, and the differences between them are significant. It is possible to precisely determine this using the U criterion. In the second variant (Fig. 2), the second row is also lower than the first, but the cross-sectional area (darkened) in the two rows is quite extensive. It may not yet reach a critical value when the differences have to be recognized as insignificant. But this can only be determined by accurately calculating the U criterion. In the third embodiment (Fig. 3), the second row is lower than the first, but the overlap area is so large that the differences between the rows are hidden.

Limitations of the U criterion: 1). Each group should have at least 3 presentations of stimuli: n ₁ , n ₂ ≥3; it is allowed that in one sample there were 2 presentations, but then in the second there should be at least 5.2.) Each group should have no more than 60 presentations; n ₁ , n ₂ ≤60.

G-test of signs. The sign criterion G is intended to set the general direction of the shifts of the test reaction to the stimulus. It allows you to establish in which direction in the group as a whole the values of the attribute change during the transition from the first dimension to the second: indicators change in the direction of improvement, increase, gain, or in the positive direction or, conversely, in the direction of deterioration, decrease, weakening or negative side.

Shift is the difference between the second and first dimensions. First, differences are calculated separately for each of the groups, and only then comparisons of two series of differences (shifts) obtained in different groups are carried out. The sign criterion from a mathematical point of view is a special case of the binomial criterion for two equally probable alternatives. With the probability of each of the alternatives Ρ = Q = 0.50. In some manuals, the sign criterion is called the McNemar criterion [Runion R. Handbook of Nonparametric Statistics: A Modern Approach. - M.: Finance and Statistics, 1982. - S. 198].

The sign criterion G is applicable to those shifts that can only be determined qualitatively (for example, a change in a negative attitude toward something by a positive attitude), as well as to those shifts that can be measured quantitatively. The shifts that prevail are typical shifts, and shifts of a rarer, opposite direction are atypical.

The possibility of “zero” shifts - when the reaction does not change or the indicators do not increase or decrease, but remain at the same level. “Zero” shifts in the criteria of signs are excluded from consideration. In this case, the number of matched pairs decreases by the number of such “zero” shifts.

The essence of the criterion of signs is that it determines whether there are too many “atypical shifts” so that shifts in the “typical” direction are considered predominant. The smaller the “atypical shifts”, the more likely that the prevalence of the “typical” shift is predominant. G _amp is the number of “atypical” shifts. The smaller the _Gmp , the more likely that the shift in the “typical” direction is statistically significant. Hypotheses used for criterion G: Hypothesis H0: The prevalence of a typical shear direction is random. Hypothesis H1: The prevalence of a typical shear direction is not accidental.

In FIG. 4 “typical” shifts of the criterion are depicted as a light cloud, and “atypical shifts” as a dark cloud. In FIG. 4 dark cloud is much smaller. For example, after the presentation of thematic stimuli, most reactions changed from negative to positive. At the same time, part of the reactions changed from positive to negative, showing an “atypical” reaction. The sign criterion makes it possible to determine whether a too large part of the reactions “atypically” reacted to the presentation of stimuli, as well as whether the mass of the light cloud absorbs a small dark cloud.

In the reference tables [Krauth J. An improved upper bound for the tail probabilities of the scan statistic for testing non-random clustering. In H.H. Bock (Ed.), Classification and related methods of data analysis. Amsterdam: North Holland, 1988 .-- P.p. 237-244] the critical values of the sign criterion for various n are given. Since the criterion of signs is one of three exceptions to the general rule, the generalized “axis of significance” for this criterion graphically looks as follows (see Fig. 5). In FIG. 5 indicated by the Roman numeral I is an area where atypical shifts are few, that is, it is a zone of significance with a probability of 99%; II is a zone of significance with a probability of 95%; III - this is an area where there are many atypical shifts, that is, this is a zone of insignificance.

The significance zone extends to the left, towards lower values, since the smaller the “atypical” signs, the more likely the “typical” shift. The zone of insignificance, on the contrary, extends to the right, towards higher values of G. Gradually there are so many “atypical” shifts that the very feeling of some kind of prevalence in the direction of the shifts is lost. The zone of insignificance characterizes the situation when the shifts of both directions are mixed. Limitations of the criterion of signs: the number of presentations in both dimensions is not less than 5 and not more than 300.

T-test. It is used to compare indicators measured in two different conditions on the same group. It allows you to establish not only the direction of change, but also their severity. With its help, it is determined whether the shifts of indicators in one direction are more intense than in the other direction.

The T-criterion is applicable in those cases when features are measured at least on an order scale, and the shifts between the second and first measurements can also be ordered. To do this, they must vary in a fairly wide range. If the shifts change, say, from -30 to +45, then it makes sense to rank them and then summarize the ranks.

The essence of the method is that the severity of shifts in both directions in absolute value is compared. To do this, first, all absolute values of the shifts are ranked, and then the ranks are summed. If shifts to the positive and negative side occur randomly, then the sums of the ranks of their absolute values will be approximately equal. If the intensity of the shifts in one of the directions prevails, then the sum of the ranks of the absolute values of the shifts in the opposite direction will be significantly lower than it could be with random changes.

At first, it was assumed that the typical shift would be a shift in a more frequent direction, and the atypical, or rare, shift would be a shift in a more rare direction. Hypotheses of criterion T. Hypothesis H0: The intensity of the shifts in the typical direction does not exceed the intensity of the shifts in the atypical direction. Hypothesis H1: The rate of shear in a typical direction is greater than the rate of shear in an atypical direction.

A graphical representation of criterion Τ is given in FIG. 6 - FIG. 8.

A shift in opposite directions can be represented in the form of two clouds, as in the criteria of signs. The size of the cloud depends not only on the number of corresponding shifts, but also on their intensity, reflected in the length of the arrows. The “bright front” prevails over the “dark front” both in terms of the number of shifts and their intensity (Fig. 6) “The bright front” prevails over “dark” in terms of the intensity of shifts, but they are equal in number (Fig. 7) “Bright front” inferior to the "dark" in the number of shifts, but the most intense shifts belong to the "bright front" (Fig. 8).

In fact, the clouds are opposed to each other, like two air fronts: they are not just competing in magnitude, they are “measured by forces”. For certain n, namely, for n≥18, the concept of a typical shift can be abandoned altogether. Shifts in one direction or another may be even, but if nine smaller shifts refer to one direction, and nine large shifts refer to the opposite, then we can state a significant prevalence of this opposite direction of shifts. The G-criterion of signs in this case would not show any significant differences. Here, the criterion of signs could ascertain the predominance of changes corresponding to the "dark front."

The calculation procedure by the T-criterion.

1. Make a list of presentations in any order, for example, in order of presentation.

2. Calculate the difference between thematic values in the second and control values in the first dimension ("after" - "before"). Determine what will be considered a “typical” shift and formulate appropriate hypotheses.

3. Convert the differences to absolute values and record them separately.

4. Rank the absolute values of the differences, assigning a lower rank to a lower value. Check if the received sum of ranks matches the calculated one.

5. Mark the ranks corresponding to shifts in the "atypical" direction.

6. Calculate the sum of these ranks using the formula: Τ = ERrr, where Rrr are the rank values of the shifts with a rarer sign.

7. Determine the critical values of Τ for a given n from the table. If the value of T _{emp is} less than or equal to Τ _cr , then the shift to the "typical" side in intensity reliably prevails.

Limitations in the application of the T-criterion:

1. The minimum number of presentations that have been measured under two conditions is 5, and the maximum number of presentations is 50.

2. Zero shifts are excluded from consideration, and the number of observations n decreases by the number of these zero shifts. You can get around this limitation by formulating hypotheses that include the absence of changes, for example: "A shift towards an increase in values exceeds a shift toward a decrease in values and the tendency to keep them at the same level."

The subjective significance of the stimulus. The subjective significance of the stimulus is the difference between the average resulting rate of reactions to the same "Sense" stimulus and the average resulting rate of reactions to "Pointless" (so-called "zero") stimuli.

Signs of the subjective significance of the “Real” stimulus:

a) left hemisphere (conscious) information, usually associated with cognitive processes;

b) an unambiguous context of perception (logical analysis of information);

c) dynamism (accompanies doubt, uncertainty);

d) in the engram of memory, as a rule, unidirectional (monovalent) associative connections associated with the imagination (representations, awareness, guesses);

e) neurons of novelty and identity of the associative zone of the brain participate in the formation of the engram;

e) an analogue of manifestation at the physiological level is the phase component of RAG.

Signs of the subjective significance of the past stimulus:

a) right hemisphere (unconscious) information, as a rule, is associated with stereotypes, habits;

b) a multi-valued context of perception (subconscious synthesis of information);

c) static (accompanies confidence, certainty);

d) in the engram of memory, as a rule, bidirectional (divalent) associative connections associated with reality (knowledge, actions);

e) neurons of the identity of the associative and projection zones of the brain participate in the formation of the engram;

f) the tonic component of RAG is an analogue of manifestation at the physiological level.

Among the psychological processes aimed at predicting the future, three processes stand out:

a) probabilistic forecasting aimed at building an objective mathematical model of the future;

b) projection - expectation, that is, an emotionally colored and motivationally reinforced idea of the future with the use of the “desired-undesirable” characteristics;

c) anticipation, which implies, in addition to the above, an activity aspect.

The “future” as a result of the test shows the tendency for the indicator of the subjective significance of the stimulus to change in the near future. This is an unconscious component of the reaction, which is based on such a property of the psyche as "anticipation" - an anticipatory reflection of reality. The fact is that the human psyche exists simultaneously in several dimensions - time: it is typical for a person, guided in the present, to keep the memory of the past and build on the basis of the experience of the present and past models of the future.

In psychology, anticipation is understood as the ability to act and make certain decisions with a certain temporal and spatial advance in relation to expected, that is, future events. In human activity, there may be situations in which anticipation would not play a significant role.

We can say that anticipation as a psychological phenomenon in its various forms has universal significance for all aspects of human activity. This is her unique ability, according to B.F. Lomova [Lomov B.F. Questions of general, educational and engineering psychology. - M .: Pedagogy, 1991. - 296 p.], Due to the fact that the most typical thing for a person is not only the reflection of the present, not only the preservation of the past, but also the active mastery of the future perspective. Already at the beginning of any activity, a person has an imaginary model (in the form of a representation) of one or another of the expected results.

In the agricultural complex “PSS” three types of reactions of motor fine motor skills of the test person are recorded and processed:

- the first type of reaction, corresponding to the time the mouse button is pressed after the presentation of the stimulus, reflects the response to the stimulus in the current moment and indicates the emotional significance of the stimulus in the present (N);

- the second type of reaction - the mouse button holding time - corresponds to the accumulated experience on the topic of the stimulus and indicates the emotional significance of the stimulus in the past (P);

- the third type of reaction - the reaction at the current moment and the experience gained - form the reactions of the future and correspond to the time the mouse button is released, indicates the emotional significance of the stimulus in the future (B).

Rules for the compilation of questions-incentives (DBMS). When perceiving information, the neural structures of the “new” (neocortex) and “old” (trunk) parts of the brain (ascending and descending connections) of both cerebral hemispheres simultaneously participate in parallel. The list of limitations in compiling stimulus questions is determined on the basis of maximum adaptation to the capabilities of the neural structures of the brain to adequately perceive the proposed information.

In this regard, incentives should be formulated:

1. In the native, “mother” language, that is, in which the person thinks (conducts an “internal dialogue”).

2. In the form of statements with the possibility of receiving a response of "Yes" (confirmation) or "No" (denial).

3. From the first person, therefore, the question is addressed to the subconscious of the respondent (using "I", "ME").

4. In the past or in the future tense (therefore, for the subconscious, the “present” is the moment and only at the level of consciousness does the “present” have visible, artificially expanded boundaries).

5. Subject to gender differences (separately for men and women, or the universal option - in an indefinite form).

6. Given the dominant sensory system of perception (men, as a rule, are “visuals,” and women, as a rule, are “audiences”).

7. When using nouns, verbs, adjectives (most often used in everyday life, everyday life, ordinary communication).

8. In a simple grammatical structure (minimizing the use of dialects, prefixes, adjectives and participles)

9. As brief and concise as possible: no more than 30 characters (letters) are allowed, including spaces.

10. Use words consisting of no more than 9 letters (maximum threshold for optimal perception).

11. Make the most of the respondent’s personal thesaurus (a person’s personal vocabulary).

12. Use a regional dialect, professional slang, jargon of social groups.

13. Particular attention should be paid to the context of the stimulus (determines the details of the specificity of significance depending on conditions and circumstances) [Smirnov IV, Beznosyuk EV, Zhuravlev AN Psychotechnologies: Computer psychosemantic analysis and psychocorrection at an unconscious level. - M .: Progress-Culture, 1995. - 416 p.].

14. Without the use of the particle “not”, therefore, the subconscious mind does not perceive it [P. Yanshin Validization of the method of psychosounding by tracking the modulating effect of subthreshold stimuli on the movement of the subject’s hand // Bulletin of the Samara Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. - Special. issue "Actual problems of humanitarian research." - 2006. - T. 2. - P. 118-128] (with the exception of words, without a particle “not” does not make sense, for example, “unbearable”).

15. Avoid the use of "clichés" (social stereotypes), since a person doesn’t consider himself like that (for example, "I ALCOHOLIC", "I A THIEF").

16. Avoid the use of two-root words as stimuli (for example, WORD | FORCE) because they are characterized by double semantic significance.

17. Grammatical errors in words (phrases) -incentives should be avoided, because this distorts the subjective significance, given the activation of the so-called "literacy neurons" [P. Yanshin Validization of the method of psychosounding by tracking the modulating effect of subthreshold stimuli on the movement of the subject’s hand // Bulletin of the Samara Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. - Special. issue "Actual problems of humanitarian research." - 2006. - T. 2. - P. 118-128] (activation of latent orienting response).

18. You can not use prohibitive commands, so the incentives should be consistent with the internal, in-depth settings of the respondent [Lomov B.F. Anticipation in the structure of activity / B.F. Lomov, E.N. Marmots. - M: Nauka, 1980. - 277 p.] (In order to avoid activation of the filter of subconscious protection, which protects the consciousness from traumatic information).

19. It is desirable to use sequentially interconnected semantic constructions as phrases, since they are perceived as a single semantic complex [Holender, D. Semantic activation without conscious identification in dichotic listening, parafoveal vision, and visual masking: A survey and appraisal // Behavioral and Brain Sciences. - 1986. - No. 9. - P. 1-23].

20. Logically separate constructions (alogisms), abstractions, atypical ordering of verbal constructions should be avoided (in order to avoid activation of spontaneous orientational reflex response).

21. One should not abuse the synonymous variation of phrases with the same semantic content.

22. When using swear words (curses), one should take into account their stereotype of perception as a “taboo”, accompanied by persistent emotionally negative modality [Van den Bussche Ε., Van den Noortgate W., Reynvoet B. Mechanisms of Masked Priming: A Meta-Analysis . University of Leuven // Psychological Bulletin. - 2009. - Vol. 135 (3). - P. 452-477.].

Note:

- it is possible to introduce incentives from two languages (surzhik combinations) in the same test;

- the respondent's ignorance of the list of test incentives, as a rule, allows to obtain more reliable results;

- acquaintance with the list of test stimuli, as a rule, leads to the fact that the respondent implicitly tries to recognize stimuli relevant to him during the study;

- in order to avoid suggestible (psychocorrectional) effects by a software filter, the introduction of the same stimuli in the same test is prohibited;

- in order to avoid violation of the legislative provisions on state secrets by the program filter, the introduction of incentive issues relating to law enforcement agencies, state and law enforcement agencies is prohibited.

Rules for compiling test topics. The total number of test topics is determined by the maximum allowable number of all incentives in one test, equal from 80 to 100, and, accordingly, the duration of the testing procedure, which should not exceed 25 minutes. The number of stimuli in the test that exceeds the maximum allowable, respectively, leads to an increase in the testing procedure, which, in turn, can cause a "rejection effect" in the test. The “rejection effect” threatens that the respondent, under various pretexts, refuse to repeat the testing procedures.

When compiling test topics, the following recommendations should be followed:

1. In studies (rapid tests), when identifying the priority of the subjective significance of the topic should be grouped in pairs with diametrically opposite semantic content.

2. In studies in each pair of topics with polar opposite values, it is desirable that there be the same number of stimulus questions. Moreover, all incentives should have one semantic content in the corresponding polarity for each topic.

3. Screening studies (for candidates for positions or for working staff) should be divided into two categories with relevant topics:

a) for security services - the topics "CRIMINAL", "INSIDER", "THEFT," TAMPER ", etc .;

b) for personnel services - topics "DISCIPLINE", "ETHICS", "QUALITY", "ALCOHOL", etc.

4. After discovering those screening studies that have priority of subjective significance for the respondent, it is possible to draw up a “detailed” test in which the “priority” topics are studied (disclosed) in more detail and thoroughly.

5. In the process of identifying the circle of persons suspected of committing an unlawful act, the topics of the test should be divided into three principal groups: “Actions”, “Knowledge”, “Thought”:

a) The theme group “ACTIONS” should describe the actual (alleged) actions in accordance with the objective of the study (the plot of the event). For example, I STORED MONEY; I OPENED SAFE; I STORED DOLLARS;

b) The group of topics "KNOWLEDGE" is intended to identify the respondent's knowledge (awareness) with facts, circumstances, details, nuances of the event being investigated (event plot). In this group should be so-called. "search" topics of a "known solution" and / or "unknown solution" in which one or more test questions-stimuli should be located among the control questions of stimuli. It should be remembered that in the "search" topics it is necessary to strictly observe the rule of "uniformity of the series" (there should be one distinguishing feature). For example, I STORED Pounds; I STORED EURO; I STORED DOLLARS; I STORED Hryvnia; I STORED RUBLES.

c) The group of THOUGHTS themes should contain incentives that characterize the respondent's moral and ethical attitude to the research topic (events that occurred). For example, ME WILL BE DISCLOSED; CALCULATE ME; READY TO RECOGNIZE; I will deny everything.

6. A comprehensive analysis of all three groups of topics ("ACTION", "KNOWLEDGE", "THOUGHT") in the course of identifying a circle of persons suspected of committing an unlawful act gives a clear criterion for deciding when interpreting the test result.

7. It should be remembered that the thematic testing conducted “anonymously”, that is, without the respondent's awareness of the topic of the future study, reveals the unconscious components of the subjective significance of the stimuli caused by the hidden activation of involuntary attention (due to a decrease in the threshold of perception). That is, as a result of the study there will be a minimum error associated with conscious fears, worries, experiences.

8. To obtain the best quality result in the “anonymous” test (without awareness), you should use events that have a negative emotional background, due to the fact that the topographic localization of the equivalents of negative emotions is located in the right (unconscious) hemisphere, that is, everything is “bad” or “dangerous” is most “firmly” fixed in a person’s memory and, accordingly, is most “easily” subjected to memories (activation).

9. It should be remembered that the thematic testing conducted after the respondent reported on the topic of the upcoming testing shows a combination of the unconscious and conscious component of the subjective significance of the incentives. Moreover, the cumulative result of such testing, as a rule, is manifested by more pronounced equivalents of values of subjective significance. However, an interview with the respondent preceding the test reduces the objectivity of indicators of subjective significance preserved in the engrams of memory. That is, acquaintance of the respondent with the topic (s) of a future study leads to the fact that the error as a result of the test is greater, the more fears, worries, experiences associated with conscious fears, worries, experiences.

Rules for updating stimulus test. Depending on the methodological features, two principal groups of tests should be distinguished:

1. “Investigation” is a study that involves testing a respondent on only one topic at a time. Wherein:

a) voluntary (conscious) attention of the respondent is focused on a single topic of future research, which involuntarily (unconsciously) leads to an increased level of sensitivity (perception) to the studied engram (group of engrams) of memory;

b) the respondent, starting testing, as a rule, has already formed his subjective attitude (endogenous program) to all the details and nuances of the topic under study;

c) in order for priorities of subjective significance to be qualitatively manifested as a result of the test, it is enough to voice (update) thematic segments of testing before starting the test as a whole (also test topics are presented automatically in the pre-test instructions).

2. “Screening” is research that involves testing a respondent (candidates for positions or working staff) simultaneously on several topics. Wherein:

a) voluntary (conscious) attention of the respondent is dispersed on several topics of the future study, which involuntarily (unconsciously) leads to an average level of sensitivity (perception) simultaneously in different studied engrams (groups of engrams) of memory;

b) the respondent, proceeding to testing, as a rule, cannot sufficiently form his subjective attitude (endogenous program) to the details and nuances of the topics being studied;

c) to ensure that the priorities of subjective significance on each topic of a future study are qualitatively manifested as a result of the test, voicing (updating) in general terms of the thematic segments of testing before testing begins is not enough. For this purpose, it is necessary to carry out a detailed update of the list of stimulus questions, necessarily grouped by topics of a future study, using one of the proposed methods:

- in the "blank" version, for each of the stimuli of the test, the respondent must give (indicate) the answer "Yes" or "No". In this case, the authorized person should fix the questions, the answers to which were accompanied by difficulties in choosing the answer option;

- in the "automated" version, the respondent should be presented with all the stimuli of the test in a conscious mode of perception. Moreover, as a result of the test, it is possible to make a comparative analysis of the subjective attitude of the respondent both to questions in the conscious level of response and to incentives in the unconscious level of response.

Interpretation of the test result. CONCLUSION according to the procedures of computer psychosemantic analysis. In accordance with the agreed tactical and technical task, testing was conducted on 23 employees of the company “X” on the following topics: AGGRESSION, ALCOHOLISM, AFERISM, WINE, MONEY, DEPRESSION, DEBT, PLAYERS, COMPETITORS, CONFLICT CRIMINAL, LEFT, CRIMINAL, LEFF, HANDER, PUNISH, DRUG, HARRY, WEAPONS, RUNNING OFF, ASSIGN MONEY WORK, RISK, CONSPIRACY, CONSEQUENCES, FEAR, TUMP, RELEASE, FIRST, I AM THE THIEF.

Analysis of insignificant topics. Significant and relevant topics at the time of testing were not identified in the following employees with conditional surnames: ХХХХХ1, ХХХХХ2, ХХХХХ3. Upon presentation of stimuli related to the above topics, significant differences in the time of complex visual-motor reaction from the average response time to control stimuli were not found in these subjects. Based on this, we can conclude that the employees at the time of testing:

- do not have actual or hidden aggressive intentions;

- do not have a special emotionally significant relationship to alcohol;

- do not have affective emotional experiences on the topic of loyalty to the organization and leadership;

- do not intend to do fraudulent actions;

- Do not feel guilty;

- do not have hidden affective complexes that could indicate problems with money or bother them with debt obligations;

- do not have depressive experiences;

- do not suffer from gaming addiction;

- do not have at the time of testing emotional-affective experiences that could indicate a connection with competitors;

- do not have emotionally significant conflicts with others;

- criminal topics are not emotionally significant;

- do not have a special emotional relationship to extra income;

- do not intend to lie and are not in a situation related to a lie;

- do not intend to take revenge on anyone;

- not related to offenses in the role of gunner;

- have no fear of punishment;

- not related to drugs;

- do not consider themselves offended by anything;

- do not have an emotional-affective attitude to weapons;

- do not have subjectively significant feelings about their own or someone else's unauthorized commercial activity using their official position;

- do not have an emotional relationship to the misappropriation of other people's money;

- emotional perception of their professional activities within the normal range;

- not related to offenses as an accomplice;

- have no concern about conducting investigative actions against them;

- Do not experience feelings of fear;

- do not have hidden affective complexes that could indicate the transfer of confidential information to competitors or law enforcement agencies;

- do not experience emotional experiences associated with the threat of dismissal;

- do not intend to free themselves;

- do not have actual intentions to commit unlawful acts related to theft.

To effectively reduce risks, it is necessary to conduct systematic surveys with a detailed theme.

Analysis of significant topics. Employees with significant topics are conditionally divided into groups of medium and high risk. The following employees (with conditional surnames ХХХХХ4, ХХХХХ5, ХХХХХ6 ХХХХХ7) at the time of testing identified significant and relevant topics:

ХХХХХ4 - the topic “DEBT” (I AM A DEBTOR, MY DEBT ON THE COUNTER, GETTING TO THE BABKOTS, I BANKRUPT, I NEED A LAVA, INTEREST DROP, I AM BURNED, GIVING MONEY, MONEY, MONEY). It is possible to make a platoon that at the time of the examination, the test person has affective emotional feelings about worrying debt obligations with him or his close acquaintances significant to him.

The theme “FEAR” (FEAR, I AM SCARY, SCARY, HORROR, I AM SCARED, SCARED, NIGHTMARES, SCARED, SCARY, FEAR, ALARM, PANIC) is significant. You can make a platoon that at the time of the test, the test person felt a sense of fear for himself, or for significant people close to him.

The theme “ROLLBACK” (IN SHARE, TAKE OFF, MY INTEREST, NAVAR, BARBAR, ROLLBACK, UNPREVENT, UNPACKING, ITS INTEREST) is significant. You can make a platoon that at the time of the test, the test person has subjectively significant experiences about his or her unauthorized business activities.

On the topic “I am a Thief,” an incorrect result was obtained with a confidence threshold exceeding (2.7). If it is necessary to clarify the subject’s reaction to this topic, it is necessary to repeat the testing procedure.

The time deviation of the reaction of the average reaction on the topic “MONEY”, “CONFLICT”, “MALEEV”, “CONSPIRACY” is approaching the threshold of reliability. It can be assumed that these topics also have relevant emotional significance.

ХХХХХ5 - the theme “ALCOHOLISM” (VODKA, DRINKING, SNACK, BEER, HUNGER, DRINK, GLASS, WATER, WINE, BEER, DRINKING, BUNDLING, DRINKING, BURNER, BURNER, BURNER, BONE BURNER , which indicates the presence of problems with the use of alcohol in the subject or for relatives and significant people, or the test person is in a significant situation related to the use of alcohol.

The theme “CRIMINAL” (CRIMINAL, GANGS, THIER IN LAW, DISASSEMBLY, TAKE OFF, ACCIDENTS, CRIMINAL, BE ON A STREAM, BURN, BEAT) is significant. You can make a platoon that at the time of the examination, the test person intends to commit a criminal act and fears that he might be the object of criminal acts or has subjectively significant experiences regarding the facts of the criminal actions of others.

The subject “INVESTIGATION” (INVESTIGATOR, UNDER THE INVESTIGATION, INVESTIGATOR, CRIMINAL CASE, ACKNOWLEDGED, HIDDEN, AFRAID OF PRISON, MILITION, MY ALIBI, EVIDENCE, PRINTS, EMERGENCIES, EMPLOYED, OPENED, EMPLOYED, EMPLOYED, EMBEDDED, OPENED. You can make a platoon that at the time of the test, the test person has subjectively significant experiences associated with investigative actions against him, or significant people close to him.

On the topics “LOCATION”, “FEAR”, an incorrect result was obtained with exceeding the confidence threshold (2.7). If it is necessary to clarify the reaction of the test person to these topics, it is necessary to repeat the testing procedure.

The deviation in the reaction time from the average value on the subject “RISK” is approaching the threshold of reliability. It can be assumed that this topic has relevant emotional significance.

XXXXXX6 - the theme “LEFT BUSINESS” (LEFT, LEFT EARNINGS, ADDITIONAL, EARNING, EARNINGS) is significant. The person tested at the time of testing has a special emotional relationship to his own, or to someone else's extra income.

An incorrect result was obtained on the topic “RESIDENCE” with exceeding the confidence threshold (2.7). If it is necessary to clarify the subject’s reaction to this topic, it is necessary to repeat the testing procedure.

XXXXXX7 - the theme “CONSPIRACY” (CONSPIRACY, IN THE CONSPIRACY, AGREED, IN SHARE, AGREED) is significant. The test person at the time of testing has affective emotional feelings about the collusion of a group of individuals. Perhaps the subject is related to the wrongful act as an accomplice, or has information about the conspiracy of others.

The deviation in the reaction time from the average reaction on the subject “CONSEQUENCE” approaches the threshold of reliability. It can be assumed that this topic has relevant emotional significance.

An advantage among the methods for obtaining feedback information is given to “Objective Data” and “Respondent Recognition” as the most objective sources.

If the stimuli of the test are one word, then the subjective significance should be interpreted only as the respondent’s attitude precisely to the “term”. In this case, any subjective interpretations based on the logical conclusions of a specialist should be avoided. For a more thorough and in-depth analysis, an additional test should be prepared containing purely individualized stimuli from the respondent's personal thesaurus.

More effective (convenient) for interpretation are tests containing short-complex phrases consisting of 2-4 words and / or prefixes.

Note: the “I'm A DRESSER” stimulus is the so-called “cliché of social assessment”. The respondent himself, as a rule, does not evaluate himself that way and does not think so. Therefore, it is preferable not to use stimuli in the form of "clichés" in tests.

The specifics of the interpretation of the results during screening studies with polar topics is as follows. The most effective (unambiguous for understanding) interpretation of the results are tests in which each research task consists of two topics in which there are stimulus questions with diametrically opposite semantic meaning. For example, the task of the study "Compliance with violation of labor discipline." To solve this problem, two topics “DISCIPLINE +” (discipline) and the topic “DISCIPLINE-” (violation of discipline) are compiled. Below is an example of the structure of such a test:

The structure of the test "DISCIPLINE":

"DISCIPLINE-":

1) Ignore the orders of the Directorate.

2) Ignore the ORDER.

3) VIOLATING COMPANY RULES.

4) VIOLATE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

5) VIOLATING LABOR DISCIPLINE.

6) VIOLATING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE BOARD.

7) I DECEIVE ITS CHIEF.

The specifics of interpreting the results in the course of investigations of illegal acts are as follows.

When compiling incentive questions during investigations, one of the topics of the test, without fail, should be the topic "ACTIONS". This topic should contain a list of incentive questions that maximally detail and accurately model the circumstances of the plot of the event of the wrongful act. This methodological approach allows you to make the uniquely correct decision on enrolling the respondent in the list of persons allegedly involved in the event.

The specifics of the interpretation of the results during hyperactive research topics:

Hyperactivation of the topic (s) of future research is fundamentally possible in three cases:

1) self-realization (endogenous) due to the alarmingly suspicious specificity of the respondent's response;

2) manipulative (exogenous) due to inexperience or intentional intent of the manipulator (customer, organizer, specialist);

3) a combination of exo- and endogenous actualization.

The state of hyperactivation is usually characteristic of respondents who are not involved in the commission of an unlawful act.

The probability of a state of hyperactivation in the tested respondents is often in direct proportion to the degree of social significance of the wrongful act.

An example implementation of the invention.

The best example of the implementation of the method includes the use of all three criteria.

Use of the U-test. Table 3 presents the individual reaction values of the control group of stimuli (n ₁ = 14) and the thematic group (n ₂ = 12).

Ranking Rules:

1. A lower value is assigned a lower rank. The lowest value is assigned a rank 1. The highest value is assigned a rank corresponding to the number of ranked values.

For example, if n = 7, then rank 7 will get the greatest value, with the possible exception for those cases provided for by rule 2.

2. If several values are equal, they are awarded a rank, which is the average value of those ranks that they received if they were not equal.

For example, the three smallest values are 100 ms. If we measured the time more accurately, then these values could be different and would be, for example, 100.2 ms; 100.5 ms; 100.7 ms

In this case, they would get ranks, respectively, 1, 2 and 3. But since the values we received are equal, each of them gets an average rank:

(1 + 2 + 3) / 3 = 6/3 = 2. If the following 2 values are 120 ms, then they would have to get ranks 4 and 5, but since they are equal, they get the average rank: (4 + 5) / 2 = 4.5, etc.

3. The total amount of ranks should coincide with the calculated one, determined by the formula: E (Ri) = Ν⋅ (Ν + 1) / 2, where N is the total number of ranked observations (values).

The discrepancy between the real and estimated sums of the ranks will indicate a mistake made during the calculation of the ranks or their summation.

When calculating the criterion U, the following algorithm is used.

1. Transfer all stimulus data to individual cells.

2. Mark the stimulus cells of the control group with one color (for example, red), and all cells from the thematic group with another (for example, blue).

3. Expand all the cells in a single row according to the degree of growth of the attribute, regardless of which group they belong to, as if we were working with one large group.

4. Rank the values in the cells, assigning a lower rank to a lower value. Total ranks will be n ₁ + n ₂ .

5. Again, divide the cells into two groups, focusing on the colored symbols: red cells in one row, blue cells in the other.

6. Calculate the sum of the ranks separately in the red boxes (group 1) and in the blue boxes (group 2). Check if the total amount of ranks matches the calculated one.

7. Determine the largest of the two rank sums (see, for example, table 4).

из двух ранговых сумм; n_х - количество предъявлений стимулов в группе с большей суммой рангов.8. Determine the value of U by the formula: U = (n ₁ ⋅n ₂ ) + (n _x ⋅ (n _x +1)) / 2-T _x , where n ₁ is the number of stimulus presentations in group 1; n ₂ is the number of stimulus presentations in group 2; T _x -

from two rank sums; n _x is the number of stimulus presentations in the group with the highest sum of ranks.

9. Determine the critical values from the table contained in the agro-industrial complex PSS.

If U _emp > U _cr , then the hypothesis H0 is accepted. If U _emp <U _cr , then the hypothesis H0 is rejected. The lower the U value, the greater the significance of the differences. As a result of work in steps 1-6 of the above algorithm, we build table 4 and calculate the rank sums for the control and thematic groups of stimuli.

The total amount of ranks is 165 + 186 = 351. Estimated amount: E (R _i ) = N⋅ (N + 1) / 2 = 26⋅ (26 + 1) / 2 = 351. Equality of real and estimated amounts is observed. In terms of presentation ranking, a group of thematic incentives appears to be “higher” next. This group accounts for a large ranking amount: 186.

Hypothesis. Hypothesis H0 The group of thematic stimuli does not exceed the group of control stimuli in terms of emotional significance for the respondent. Hypothesis H1: The group of thematic stimuli outperforms the group of control stimuli in terms of emotional significance for the respondent.

In accordance with the next step of the algorithm, the empirical value U _emp is determined: U _em = (14⋅12) + (12⋅ (12 + 1)) / 2-186 = 60.

Since in our case n _{1 is} not equal to n ₂ , we calculate the empirical value U _emp for the second rank sum (165), substituting in the formula the corresponding value n _x : U _emp = (14⋅12) + (14⋅ (14 + 1 )) / 2-165 = 108.

Such a check is recommended to be carried out in some works [Runion R. Handbook of nonparametric statistics: Modern approach. - M .: Finance and statistics, 1982. - S. 198; Greene J. and D'oliveira, M. Learning to Use Statistical Tests in Psychology (1-st edition). - Milton Keynes: Open University Press. - 1982].

For comparison with the critical value, choose a smaller value of U: U _emp = 60. According to the table, we determine the critical values for the corresponding n, and the smaller n is taken as n ₁ (n ₁ = 12), and the larger n is taken as n ₂ (n ₂ = 14). U _cr = 51 (p≤0.05), U _cr = 38 (p≤0.01), where p is the level of critical significance.

U criterion is one of two exceptions to the general rule of decision-making about the significance of differences, namely, we can ascertain significant differences, if U _tempo ≤U _cr. The final “Axis of Significance” is shown in FIG. 9.

Calculation of _Ump = 60 Answer: Hypothesis H0 is accepted. The group of thematic stimuli does not exceed the group of control stimuli in terms of emotional significance for the respondent.

Using the G-test. Estimating the level of reactions of the presented stimuli on a 7-point scale, where 1 point is 50 ms, the results of two measurements in both groups are presented in the following table 5. Assessment of the level of reactions (n = 16).

To identify "typical" signs of changes in reactions, the number of positive, negative and zero shifts on each scale in each group is calculated first. The calculation of the number of positive, negative and zero shifts are given in table. 6.

The most typical are “zero” shifts, that is, the absence of a shift in the estimates after the presentation of a thematic stimulus. On the scale of incentives “Debts” and “Credit”, positive shifts are observed in about half of cases. Only positive and negative shifts must be taken into account, and zero ones should be discarded. The number of pairs of values being compared is reduced by the number of these zero shifts.

Now for the scale "Debts" n = 8; for the scale "Credit" n = 9; scales "Salary" n = 5 and scales "Work" n = 4. In relation to the last scale, the sign criterion is generally not applicable, since the number of pairs of values to be compared is less than 5. You can immediately check the hypothesis that the positive shift prevails in the answers by the sum of four scales. The sum of positive and negative shifts on four scales is: n = 8 + 9 + 5 + 4 = 26.

Hypotheses of criterion G. Hypothesis H0: A positive shift after the presentation of the stimulus is random. Hypothesis H1: A positive shift after the stimulus is presented is not accidental.

According to the table [Runion R. Handbook of nonparametric statistics: Modern approach. - M .: Finance and statistics, 1982. - P. 198] we determine the critical values of the criterion of signs G. These are the maximum quantities of "atypical", ie the least frequent signs, in which shifts in the "typical" direction can still be considered significant.

1) The incentive "Debts", n = 8. A typical shift is positive. There are no negative shifts. _Kr = 1 G (p ≤ 0.05), G = 0 _kr (p≤0,01), G _tempo = 0, G _tempo ≤G _kr. Hypothesis H0 is rejected. Hypothesis H1 is accepted (p≤0.01).

2) The stimulus "Credit", n = 9. A typical shift is positive. There are no negative shifts. _Kr = 1 G (p ≤ 0.05), G _kr = 0 (p ≤ 0.01), G _tempo = 0, G _tempo ≤G _kr. Hypothesis H0 is rejected. The hypothesis H1 is accepted (p≤0.01).

3) Incentive "Salary", n = 5 Typical shift - negative. Positive changes - 2. G _cr = 0 (p≤0.05), G _cr (p≤0.01), while n is impossible to determine. G _emp = 2, G _emp > G _cr . Hypothesis H0 is accepted.

4) The stimulus "Work". N = 4, n <5, therefore, the sign criterion is unsuitable.

5) Sum on 4 scales, n = 26. A typical shift is positive. Negative shifts - 4. G _cr = 8 (p≤0.05), G _cr = 6 (p≤0.01), Gemp = 4. G _EMP <G _cr . Hypothesis H0 is rejected. Hypothesis H1 is accepted (p <0.01).

Answer: A positive shift after the presentation of the incentive is not accidental for the scales "Debts", "Credit" and the sum of four scales (p <0.01 in all cases). The statistical criterion indicates that a positive shift in the estimates is more reliable, at least for the first two scales.

The calculation procedure for criterion G is as follows.

1. Count the number of zero reactions and exclude them from consideration. As a result, n decreases by the number of such zero reactions.

2. Identify the prevailing direction of change. Consider shifts in the predominant direction "typical."

3. Determine the number of "atypical" shifts. Consider this number the empirical value of G.

4. From the table, determine the critical values of G for a given n, that is, G _amp .

5. Match G _amp to G _amp . If G _{emp is} less than G _emp , or at least equal to it, shifts in the typical direction can be considered reliable.

Using the T-test.

The results of the calculation of the T-criterion when comparing measurements of reactions to the presented stimuli of the control and thematic groups are given in table. 7.

To calculate this criterion, there is no need to organize a series of values according to the growth of the characteristic. You can use any order.

The first step in recalculating the T-criterion is to subtract each individual value of the “control stimulus” from the value of “thematic”. From table 7, the seven differences obtained are negative and only three are positive. This means that in eight presentations, the duration of the reaction of muscle effort in the second dimension decreased, and in three it increased.

Hypothesis. Hypothesis H0: The intensity of the shifts in the direction of decreasing the reaction of muscle effort does not exceed the intensity of the shifts in the direction of increasing it. Hypothesis H1: The intensity of the shifts in the direction of decreasing the reaction of muscle effort exceeds the intensity of the shifts in the direction of increasing it.

In the next step, all shifts, regardless of their sign, are ranked by severity. Table 7 in the fourth column on the left shows the absolute values of the shifts, and in the last column (right) - the ranks of these absolute values. A lower value corresponds to a lower rank. Moreover, the sum of the ranks is 66, which corresponds to the estimated amount:

ERi = N⋅ (N + 1) / 2 = 11⋅ (11 + 1) / 2 = 66.

Shifts are noted that are typical, in this case, positive. In Table 7, these shifts and their respective ranks are underlined in bold. The sum of the ranks of these "rare" shifts is the empirical value of the T criterion:

Τ = ERr, where Rr are the rank values of the shifts with a rarer sign.

Therefore, in this case, T _EMP = 1 + 2.5 + 7 = 10.5.

From the table, we determine the critical values of Τ for n = 11:

T _cr = 13 (p≤0.05), T _cr = 7 (p≤0.01).

The “significance axis” of the T-criterion is as shown in FIG. 10. The zone of significance in this case extends to the left. Indeed, if there were no “rare”, in this case positive, shifts at all, then the sum of their ranks would be equal to zero. In this case, the empirical value of T _emp falls into the zone of significance with a confidence of 95%: T _emp <T _cr (p≤0.05).

Answer: hypothesis H0 is rejected. The intensity of the shifts in the direction of decreasing the reaction of muscle effort exceeds the intensity of the shifts in the direction of increasing (p <0.05).

In FIG. 11 shifts are presented in ms, and in FIG. 12 - in their rank values. Ranking slightly reduces the area of the associated clouds, or "fronts." Thus, the response time in the second dimension is reduced, and this shift is not accidental.

The percentage of reaction significance is presented as a two-sided, horizontal color histogram, with increasing values from left to right from 0 to +300 and values from right to left from 0 to -300. Three color variants of reaction relations and two color variants of reaction significance for each relationship are presented:

a) green color - "Present (N)", the initial reaction corresponds to pressing the left button of a computer mouse;

b) yellow color - "Past (P)", the reaction corresponds to holding the left button of a computer mouse;

c) blue color - "Future (B)", the reaction corresponds to releasing the left button of a computer mouse;

d) red color - “Zone of significance”, reaction (range of reliability is 95% and 99%).

To the left and right of each histogram (Fig. 13) the digital value (%) of the response confidence is indicated.

The processing results are displayed in the form of color (or black and white with different shades) histograms in the research protocol (see Fig. 13), where each color in the column “insignificance zones” corresponds to the line of the past (P), present (H) and future ( B), and in cases when the columns of the “zone of significance” are reached, the column is colored different, for example, red.

Also, as a result of the test, the table "Error Analysis" is displayed under the table with histograms according to the characteristics of quantity, ratio and dynamics over time (the table data are graphically presented in Fig. 14). Analysis of the mistakes made by the respondent during the testing procedure reveals: 1) the level of stress tolerance (according to the total number of errors); 2) the level of adequacy of the psychoemotional state (according to the ratio of errors); 3) the level of concentration (according to the dynamics of errors during testing).

Industrial application.

Thus, this method allows more reliably (at the level of 95-99%) to automatically determine the semantic sphere of significance of the presented stimuli, as well as to obtain additional data about the personality characteristics of the test person and his psycho-emotional state.

This is achieved, in particular, by modifying the control group, which is a series of stimuli in the form of meaningful words, offered both in a conscious and unconscious form, which maintain the necessary level of operator readiness and form an alarming expectation reaction, as well as by determining the reaction time tested in the form of both a visual-motor reaction and registration of parameters of physiological reactions of the tested.

This, in turn, contributes to a significant reduction in the possibility of obtaining random results (by 95-99%), which can increase the error of statistical processing, as well as more fully reveal the core of the personality and highlight the factors that influence its formation.

In terms of the total time spent on testing (including both the selection of semantic bases and obtaining data on emotional significance), as well as the speed of obtaining similar information, the developed method requires three times less time than the prototype method.
