The positive emotional scale combines seven “calm”, “hope”, and the negative scale – seven “anxiety”, “pain”, “sadness”, “civil inaction”. Positive-emotional paradigm is created mainly by images of nature, and negative-value – philosophical and psychological understanding of the mental state of man at the turn of the XIX – early XX centuries. in the projection on the self-expression of Ukrainian national identity.
