The use of face-to-face interviews is still a very common data collection method in social sciences. The danger associated with the use of such data collection methods is a reduction in the resulting survey data’s quality due to interviewers’ fabrications or falsifications, which in turn has led to the emergence of a large set of methods for controlling the data collection process, the focus of which is limited and bypasses the behavioral characteristics of interviewers. In this context, paradata and GPS-paradata are an important new tool for use in the process of quality control of collected data or as part of a methodological audit, allowing not only to potentially identify and prevent falsification or fabrication by interviewers, but also to assess the correctness of methodological instructions. This article provides an overview of the available and practiced methods for using GPS-paradata in two main strategies (data point analysis and interviewer path analysis): geofencing, strand length, curbstoning, connecting interviews’ locations and interviewer path analysis. The possibilities of using such control methods depend on the sample design and on the methodological features of the surveys in general. However, the use of GPS-paradata to control the data collection process is not in itself a surefire method for detecting interviewers’ fabrications or falsifications, as it may be subject to technical inaccuracies or unintentional interviewer errors. It is a useful additional method aimed at identifying “suspicious” interviews which require the use of more resource-intensive methods of control (for example, repeated contact). In addition, the article presents an analysis of the quality of acquired GPS-paradata on the example of 26th wave of the RLMS-HSE, based on analyzing missing data and quality of measurements (HDOP). The results show that the quality of GPS-paradata can be related both to the region where the interview is conducted and to the characteristics of the interviewers.

The article is devoted to analyzing a new sociological paradigm proposed by Nikolai Genov, a European sociologist of Bulgarian origin, known for his work in the history and theory of sociology, social transformation in Eastern Europe and globalization. His new monograph is characterized by his desire to offer the sociological community an original outlook on the theoretical trends in the development of the discipline over the past few decades, as well as to construct a new paradigm of social interaction as a way to overcome the current theoretical crisis. It presents a rational analysis of the current state of theoretical sociology while substantiating and describing the heuristic possibilities of sociology, revealed by means of paradigmatic synthesis based on the concept of social interaction as rethought by the author. Social interactions are the prerogative of key actors operating in networks of social relations and within social processes. The new paradigm can provide sociologists with explanatory models that can serve as the basis for creating mid-level theories that would incorporate previously accumulated sociological knowledge. According to Genov, this synthesis can open up new ways for advancing sociological comprehension of controversial social problems at different levels of their consideration (macro-, meso- and micro-) and while considering modern global development trends.

The principal aim of this article is to explore the mechanism of association between informal helping behavior and life satisfaction among Russians. It especially focuses on the potential moderating role of the close relationship between the agent and the beneficiary, as well as the values and demographic characteristics of the agent. To test the main hypotheses, multiple regression analysis is applied to online survey data (N=732) with respondents sampled from a large consumer panel. As expected, a significant positive relationship was observed between the cognitive component of subjective well-being and the self-reported frequency of helping both close ones and strangers, with the association being more pronounced in the former case. At the same time, the effect of pro-social action towards relatives and friends appeared to vary depending on the value orientation and age of the respondent: in older people (51+), as well as those who attach greater importance to the equal treatment of all people (high score on Universalism), helping relatives is not as closely associated with subjective well-being. As far as the positive effect of helping strangers on life satisfaction is concerned, no significant moderation effects were detected, which indicates its relative universality. The potential implications for kindness interventions and volunteer recruitment as well as the prospects for future research are discussed in the conclusion.

In recent years the concept of universal basic income (UBI) as regular payout of a basic subsidy to all people with no additional conditions or criteria attached has come to the general public’s attention as opposed to solely being discussed by experts and certain interested parties. Data from the first comparative study on public attitudes toward UBIconducted in various European countries (the ESS) and a comparable Russian social survey (RSS) from 2016–2017 revealed unprecedentedly high support for UBI in some countries, including Russia. A new round of the RSS for 2021 included the same question on UBI, with it being designed to answer the question about the persistence of such attitudes, all while addressing the reasons, motivational and structural factors influencing the public’s attitude toward UBI. Information and public discussions becoming more widespread resulted in an even further increase of support for UBI among Russian respondents. A person’s attitude towards UBI depends on socio-structural factors, personal needs, interests and risks, but also on values of social equality and fairness. The motivational foundation for supporting the concept, expectations associated with it differ between social groups, with age being the most dramatic distinguishing factor. People of older generations are more cautious in their attitude toward the new concept, while support for UBI among young Russians is very high. Despite the public’s generally favorable attitude towards UBI, the likelihood of potential conflicts and unmet expectations are very high. But regardless of practical implementation, high support for UBI speaks to society urgently demanding the current social security system be reformed, given the widespread dissatisfaction with how it operates in terms of efficiency and fairness.

This article discusses the attributes of the sociological method of V.N.Voloshinov (M.M.Bakhtin) on the example of the book “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language”. Analysis was conducted in the context of the early works of the Soviet philosopher, while taking into consideration their study by Yu. Davydov, S.G. Bocharov’s recollections of Bakhtin, as well as the author's previous article on a related topic. It is substantiated that Bakhtin's worldview evolved over time, with him having been influenced in parallel and in sequence by the ideas of the most prominent German philosophers of the first quarter of the 20th century: G.Simmel, G.Cohen, E.Cassirer, E.Husserl, M.Scheler and others. The desire to develop an independent system of views, starting from the phenomenological sociology of Scheler, led Bakhtin in his work “Problems of Dostoevsky's Creativity” to the idea of human consciousness’ “dialogism” being a member of society (an individual). In the work “Marxism and the Philosophy of Language”, Voloshinov-Bakhtin “materialistically” interprets Cassirer’s “philosophy of symbolic forms” and comes to the idea of “inter-individuality” of the ideological code environment (inter-subjectivity) as a fundamental socio-cultural phenomenon that should serve as the basis for understanding both individual consciousness and all forms of human culture.

This is a review of Leonid G. Ionin’s book devoted to Max Weber’s life and work. The book presents certain facts from Weber’s biography that are not widely known to the Russian audience. The author of the book focuses on Weber’s relationships with the people surrounding him. Aside from that, the author analyzes some elements of Weberian sociology while defining the influence of Protestant ethic on modern capitalism, as well as rationalization theory and the typology of domination. It is argued in the review that Ionin’s book makes an important contribution to the development of Max Weber studies in Russia.

The structural consolidation of the higher education network, a diminishing commercial segment, and an increase in vocational training enrollment over the past decade are all signs that higher education expansion in Russia has come to an end. The aim of this article is to find possible explanations and analyze macro-level factors of this phenomenon from an economic, sociological and political-economic perspective. Based on the statistical and monitoring data, the paper shows that the decrease in enrollment is due to a shortage in higher education programs, limited financial accessibility and shifts in the economic efficiency of educational strategies. Declining participation in higher education seems to be more of a tendency for less affluent and educated families, who are redirecting towards vocational training. A declining number of part-time correspondence programs and university departments, as well as the vertical stratification of the institutional landscape, reinforce the social differentiation of educational expectations and opportunities. The stratification and professionalization of tertiary education are also examined as part of the evolution of the conservative political-economic model in Russia.

The relevance of applying family stress theory in research practice is a consequence of increasingly varied stressful events occurring in the context of the evolution and transformation of such institutions as marriage and parenthood, as well as the unpredictable events taking place in the world. The main purpose of the review is to identify those subject areas of family sociology where the concepts of family stress theory (stressor, stress, crisis, resources, event perception, and strategies for coping with a stressful situation) are most often used or where empirical results are interpreted using this theory. Analysis was based on articles published in leading journals over the last decade: the Journal of Marriage and Family, the Journal of Family Issues, the Journal of Comparative Family Studies, as well as in open sources. Such papers were selected that contained the results of quantitative research and of using qualitative methods such as interviews with family members. Two main directions were identified. The first is the impact of pandemic–related stressors on families. The second is the stresses experienced by members of cross-border families and strategies for coping with stressful situations at the individual and family level. A large number of research articles on cross-border families are a result of the topic being relevant in many countries, on both the sending and receiving end. In turn, there is the possibility that cross-border families are more likely than others (depending on the criterion of typology) to be subject to various kinds of stressors. It is shown that in different countries, social groups and families the results of coping with the stressful events associated with the pandemic were both positive and negative. In some families the mental health of children and adolescents declined during the pandemic, there was a marked increase in parental stress, marital conflicts, frequency of alcohol consumption and domestic violence. The positive consequences of isolation for other families included an increase in the duration of family communication, accelerated development of new technologies in the household sphere, optimization of household financial management, a more equitable distribution of family roles. For example, more fathers became involved in child care and classes with schoolchildren, in helping their wives with household chores. Even studies conducted during the 20th century showed that husbands and fathers become active as soon as difficult situations arise and are removed from family responsibilities when there is no more urgent need for their participation, something that was once again confirmed by the whole pandemic situation. The analysis allowed identifying the main strategies transnational families use to cope with the stress of separation from family members.

For the reader’s consideration— an article never before translated to Russian written by American anthropologist Alexander Goldenweiser, where he attempts to dismantle the first three volumes of Pitirim Sorokin’s “Social and Cultural Dynamics” that came out in 1937. In it he comprehensively criticizes Sorokin’s “Dynamics” to the point where he completely refutes all of it. The article is written in the form of a “platonic dialog” partaken by world famous scientists, artists and sociologists, with Socrates himself presiding on this “Areopagus”, who, after hearing out the prosecution, sentences Sorokin to capital punishment. Sorokin responded with an article where he analyzed all charges against him and issued his own decisive verdict— “not guilty”. The publication is meant to commemorate 85 years since the release of the first three volumes of “Social and Cultural Dynamics”.

The publication is meant to commemorate 85 years since the release of the first three volumes of “Social and Cultural Dynamics”.","PeriodicalId":35261,"journal":{"name":"Sotsiologicheskiy Zhurnal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48434183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes the legacy of one of the ‘classics’ of 20th centurymigration studies— George Zipf. Particular attention is paid to his work “Human behavior and the principle of last effort. An introduction to human ecology”. The authors focus not so much on the results of Zipf’s research, but on the questions he posed, and make the claim that these questions constitute the true value of Zipf’s scientific heritage. His inquiry on the criteria for describing migration process efficiency has become one of the key questions when it comes to theories of migration behavior, social adaptation and integration of migrants. The question about the influence of collective and group subjectivity on migration decision-making had a significant impact on the push and pull theory as formulated by E. Lee, while Zipf’s reflections on how migration behavior is influenced by the division of labor and the diversity of professional skills became the foundation for D.Massey's synthetic theory of migration. Step by step the article’s authors analyze Zipf's reflections in relation to such questions as: are migrants a social group? How can migration efficiency be measured? Is there a relationship between the movement of people and the movement of capital? How do the division of labor and the law of supply and demand affect migration? In conclusion, the authors formulate those theses brought forth by G.Zipf that are still relevant to this day.
