Introduction. The importance of studying meaning-making avoidance coping classified as maladaptive is emphasized. Avoidance coping makes it impossible for one to behave adequately in the communication situation.Purpose. In this article, we will methodologically justify the structure of the original questionnaire for avoidance coping in the form of a partial semantic differential and a set of personal trait scales included in it.Theoretical Justification. We described the foundations and specifics of the expression of meaning-making avoidance coping. This strategy consists of shifting away from the problem, idleness, carelessness, and immaturity of the personality, the will to stay in the comfort zone, procrastination, escapism, hedonism, as well as diving into virtual space. We presented our method for studying avoidance coping specifics in the form of a partial semantic differential of personal traits. When designing it, we proceed from the phenomenon of meaning consonance and dissonance as a match and mismatch. The original method consists of nine bipolar semantic scales of personality traits as special indicator marks of meaning. The validation will be conducted on the sample of 300 respondents. We will also use certified methods from related psychodiagnostic spheres: “Life-Purpose Orientations” (LPO) by D. A. Leontiev, Amirkhan’s Coping Strategy Indicator (CSI) adapted by V. N. Yaltonsky and N. A. Sirot, the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) adapted by N. V. Grishina, the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire adapted by T. V. Kornilova, and the New Uncertainty Tolerance Questionnaire (NTQ) by T. V. Kornilova.Discussion. We are certain that this particular approach will form a battery of tests appropriate for study on avoidance coping aspects. It is possible to empirically reveal multi-type portraits related to the value-meaning sphere of subjects who show the avoidance coping strategy, if the ensemble mechanisms of personal trait structure are taken as a basis. Those multi-type models of current meaning states not only are effective in a person’s behaviour prediction, but they also imply cost-friendly test technologies.
