Abstract

The article is devotes to the theoretical synthesis of theories, which explain the phenomenon of political-ideological identification. In social science there is great deal of identification theories, that is determined, first of all, by interdisciplinary character of this problem. Despite of different theoretical approaches, each separate theory can't fully explain peculiarities of process of individual identity' formation, including political-ideological identification. Regarding this fact there is a strong need in theoretical synthesis of theories, which explain explored phenomenon. Theoretical synthesis of processing of this problem allowed: to apply ideas of russian sociologist Yadov's disposition concept to analysis of processes of political-ideological identification; to adopt proposed tridimensional model to Ukrainian political space, regarding theoretical modification of Ukrainian researcher Reznik. Also to make conclusion that model of identity's political-ideological identification needs to be formed taking into account behavioral aspect of political-ideological identification and category «political subjectivity»; regarding methodology of socio-cultural approach to make conclusion that political-ideological identities are constantly reconstructed in accordance with changes in social-political contexts. We can assume that, as political self-consciousness of individual ideological values, forms specific political positions, political-ideological identification has multifold, multilevel structure. That's why we need appropriate conceptual model, which would demonstrate this specificity, establish objective, conceptual and methodological connections regarding theories reviewed above, take a role of the sample for empirical researches of political-ideological identification. We think that development of this model should be conducted basing on socio-cultural theory of numerous non-stable social-identificational conditions of identity, which, in combination with concepts stated above, allows to accentuate processing, activity and symbolical inculcation of identities in modern conditions.
