STEREOTYPICAL RISKS AND THREATS IN THE YOUTH’S OPINION (DIACHRONIC COMPARATIVE ASPECT)
The paper reveals the structure of associative fields of words-stimuli "danger", "risk", "threat", fixed in 1988-90 (the materials of "Russian association dictionary") and in 2015 (the results of authors’ associative experiment). The results of contrasting obtained synchronic sections separated by the period of 25 years demonstrate the structural stability of these fields in diachrony on the one hand, and explicit redistribution of "association vectors" within them on the other. By the end of the historical period under study, the corresponding fragment of the associative network gets saturated with new nodes and demonstrates considerable increase in density and relevance of internal relations. The degree of anxiety (and emotionality in general) in stereotypical perception of danger, risk and threat by modern youth is reduced, such phenomena begin to be perceived somewhat abstractly, and distanced.
