Personal meanings as cognitive constructs are the basis of the content of the personality meaning sphere. Personal meanings are involved in the meaning regulation of human activity at the highest cognitive level (Asmolov, 2016; Frankl, 1990). Only a category of meaning allows one to operate with different meanings of phenomena and to organize them in more general contexts of the ongoing processes of life. The category of meaning, speaking mainly as the subject of Russian psychological research, is more capacious than the category of sense, which is studied more in European and American science. Under the influence of personal meanings a hierarchical restructuring of the system of motives and values takes place (Abakumova, 2014; Vasilyuk, 2016). The value-motivational sphere is involved in the formation and updating of strategies for the meanings formation and their subsequent implementation in activity (Bratus, 2014; Vasyukova, 2009). It is known that the processes of the meanings formation are considered in terms of their generation and flow from peripheral areas in the field of generalized meanings as “infusion of meanings” (Leontiev, 2014). At the same time, the processes of actualization of meaning constructs having an estimated nature with its inherent polarity are studied fragmentarily and require a more complete description and modeling. The polarity of the processes of meaning formation is due to the possibility of joining or not joining perceived meanings into existing stable meaning constructs. In the process of evaluation and meaning choice, a multidirectional process takes place acceptance or non-acceptance of perceived meanings. The attachment of meanings as a semantic addition occurs upon the appearance of meaning consonance (coincidence) between the perceived and existing meaning content. Non-attachment of meanings as semantic ignorance appears when meaning dissonance (mismatch) occurs between the perceived and Identification of Markers for Models of Meaning Constructs
