Abstract

The problem of existing methods of empirical research of representation images, their accuracy and informativeness is studied. The analysis of the existing methods of research of the sphere of representations is carried out: objective, subjective, communicative, subjective scaling, psychological diagnostics, indirect, etc. Their capabilities in solving applied problems of studying the sphere of representations are analyzed. The theoretical analysis made it possible to conduct an empirical psychological study of the characteristics of the college students ' ideas about their future professional activities. The following methods were used: questionnaire survey, subjective scaling, R. Gordon's questionnaire. The study was conducted on a representative sample. The study involved college students grouped by level of academic performance – high academic performance, low academic performance. The results obtained indicate the existence of difficulties in conducting empirical studies of the figurative sphere
