Objective. Studying the vector of managing the organizational culture of the Russian internal affairs bodies during the COVID-19 period.Background. The work is aimed at studying the vector of managing the organizational culture of the internal affairs bodies through the formation of new “pictures of the world” and mental states of police officers as a result of the socio-psychological impact of information flows about COVID-19. Our earlier results of a longitudinal study from 2011 to 2019 made it possible to assert that the vector of development of the organizational culture of the Internal Affairs Directorate depends on the media, capable of creating new “pictures of the world” and influencing the formation of mental states of police officers, which are different from those desired and proclaimed by the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when reforming the Internal Affairs Directorate in 2011. We believe that the scale of this socio-psychological phenomenon clearly manifested itself during the COVID-19 pandemic and the totality of the corresponding informational influence of the media, which determines the vector of managing the organizational culture of the internal affairs bodies.Study design. Against the background of the identified dynamics of social fears, mental states and the locus of control among police officers for the period of 2020 and 2021, their “picture of the world” was studied using multivariate factorial and cluster analysis.Participants. 335 police officers tested in both 2020 and 2021. Of these, 231 are men and 104 are women, 25 to 49 years old.Measurements. Author’s questionnaire on the degree of involvement in the content of the news and information tape about COVID-19; questionnaires: “Social fears” L.N. Grosheva; “The level of subjective control” by E.F. Bazhin and others; method for determining the dominant state of DS-8 L.V. Kulikova; author’s modification of C.

Objective. Critical analysis of existing research about the correlation between involvement in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and social capital; formulation of the author’s point of view on limitations of existing research about the correlation between ICT and social capital.Background. The development of ICT creates a new social reality and appearance of new social practices. Spreading of ICT and, in particular, the Internet, defines global changes in the technological context of communications. Social capital as one of the most important products of social interaction can be determined by the development of ICT, and at the same time social capital can influence the development of ICT. What is the nature of this relationship, how social capital will change in the context of ICT’s development, and how social capital affects the inclusion people in ICT’s using — these are the main questions that this study focuses on.Conclusions. Existing studies prove the correlation between social capital and developing of ICT. In doing so, both social capital influences the nature and intensity of ICT’s using, and ICT influence the creation and maintenance of social capital. This link can be analyzed not only on the individual, but also on the collective level. At the same time, the existing studies on the relationship between ICT and social capital have some limitations. Among the main limitations: imbalance in the levels of analysis (individual and collective levels) in studies on the relationship between ICT and social capital; lack of theoretical explanations of link mechanism between ICT and social capital; lack of studies that summarize the current knowledge about the relationship between ICT and social capital.

Objective. Analysis of the contribution of complementary and non-complementary stereotypes and assessing their typicality in the level of belief in a just world (BJW) among employees of commercial and non-profit organizations.Background. Increasing economic inequality makes it relevant to study the relationship between the assessment of the world as just and the relationship to the rich and poor. According to the theory of system justification by J. Jost, people are motivated to support the status quo, including by relying on complementary stereotypes that combine desirable and undesirable qualities in one image. Research by A. Kay and J. Jost (2003) has shown that actualizing complementary stereotypes of the unhappy rich and the happy poor increases the level of the acquitting of systems. However, the nature of the impact of complementary stereotypes and non-complementary stereotypes on the belief in justice, depending on the initial just-world belief level, and the contribution of subjective assessment of the typicality of complementary stereotypes and non-complementary stereotypes to the just-world belief level remains poorly studied.Study design. A two-factor plan was used to analyze the contributions of the actualization of stereotypes and the place of work to the level of the just-world belief scales. The paper studied the dependence of the level of the just-world belief scales on the place of work of the respondents, the conditions of filling the questionnaire (after actualization of complementary stereotypes, non-complementary stereotypes, and without reading the texts), and the relative contribution to the level of the just-world belief scales of the conditions of filling the questionnaire and assessing the typicality. The method of analysis of variance was used to compare the just-world belief level in groups of employees of commercial and non-profit organizations under different filling conditions. Regression analysis was used to assess the contribution of gender, age, place of work, and the assessment of the typicality of complementary stereotypes and non-complementary stereotypes to the just-world belief level.Participants. 260 people, including 130 employees of non-profit organizations, 130 employees of commercial organizations, the average age was 36 years.Measurements. Vignettes with descriptions of complementary stereotypes and non-complementary stereotypes, the just-world belief questionnaire (S.K. Nartova-Bochaver et al., 2013).Results. For non-profit organizations employees, the level of both just-world belief scales decreases at non-complementary stereotypes actualization; for commercial organizations employees, it increases slightly at complementary stereotypes actualization in relation to the background. The level of BJW-others is determined only by the assessment of the typicality of complementary stereotypes. None of the considered predictors contributes to the BJW-self.Conclusions.

目标。分析互补型和非互补型刻板印象对商业和非营利组织雇员公正世界信念水平的影响,并评估其典型性。背景日益加剧的经济不平等使得研究对世界的公正评价与对富人和穷人的关系之间的关系变得有意义。根据J. Jost的系统辩护理论,人们被激励去支持现状,包括依靠互补的刻板印象,将理想和不理想的品质结合在一个形象中。A. Kay和J. Jost(2003)的研究表明,实现不快乐的富人和快乐的穷人的互补刻板印象会增加系统的豁免水平。然而,关于互补刻板印象和非互补刻板印象对正义信念的影响的本质,取决于最初的公正世界信念水平,以及互补刻板印象和非互补刻板印象的典型性主观评价对公正世界信念水平的贡献,研究仍然很少。研究设计。采用双因素计划分析刻板印象的实现和工作地点对公正世界信念水平的贡献。本文研究了公正世界信念量表水平对被调查者工作地点、问卷填写条件(实现互补刻板印象后、非互补刻板印象后、不阅读文本后)的依赖关系,以及问卷填写条件和典型性评价条件对公正世界信念量表水平的相对贡献。采用方差分析的方法,比较了不同填充条件下商业组织和非营利组织员工群体的公正世界信念水平。采用回归分析评估性别、年龄、工作地点以及互补刻板印象和非互补刻板印象的典型性评估对公正世界信念水平的贡献。260人,其中非营利组织员工130人,商业组织员工130人,平均年龄36岁。公正世界信念问卷(S.K. Nartova-Bochaver et al., 2013).结果。非互补性刻板印象实现化过程中,非互补性刻板印象实现化过程中,公正世界信念和公正世界信念的水平均有所下降;对于商业机构的员工,它在与背景相关的互补刻板印象实现方面略有增加。BJW-others的水平仅由互补刻板印象的典型性评估来确定。所有考虑的预测因素都不影响bjw自我。BJW-others是由对互补刻板印象的典型性的主观评估决定的。在辅助性刻板印象实现过程中,低水平的BJW增加,而在非辅助性刻板印象实现过程中,高水平的BJW减少。

Objective. Development and initial testing of a methodology for identifying beliefs about trust in an organization.Background. Today, the issue of increasing the efficiency of the organization and its competitiveness is becoming more and more urgent. One of the key factors influencing internal organizational processes is trust in the organization. In this regard, it is important to develop new tools that will help to identify ideas about trust in the organization and to study the nature of this phenomenon more deeply.Study design. The research was carried out using a socio-psychological survey.Participants. The study involved 200 respondents, of whom 78 are men and 122 women aged 18 to 50 years, with experience in various government and commercial organizations.Measurements. For data processing and analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Mann-Whitney test and correlation analysis were used. The SPSS 15.0 software was used to process the data.Results. As a result of testing the methodology for psychometric indicators on the scale of “performance”, “decency” and “concern for others”, points were identified that did not work on their scale. It was decided to remove these items from the methodology. After removing items, the correlation of which with the scale was less than +0.1, the reliability indicator of the Performance scale became 0.682, the Decency scale — 0.638, and the Caring for others scale — 0.783, which indicates a sufficient level of reliability-consistency for personal questionnaires. The substantive validity of the questionnaire is achieved by drawing up question formulations in accordance with the theoretically identified characteristics of the three imperatives of trust in the organization in the concept of Robert Shaw. The validity of the gender questionnaire was confirmed by the presence of differences in the perception of the “caring for others” component of trust between men and women.Conclusions. The scales of the methodology developed by us have a high level of reliability and consistency. Statistical data indicate the advisability of reformulating some of the statements for further improving the tool, eliminating the secondary meanings of the paragraph. There was some evidence of the validity of the methodology by gender, indicating the ability of the instrument to differentiate objectively existing differences.

Objective. Adaptation of the scale that measures the collective narcissism level of an individual.Background. There are some societal problems in modern Russia, such as a huge societal distance and widespread prejudice towards minorities. Collective narcissism is an important aspect of intergroup relations, as being related to outgroup hostility associated with a high level of ingroup identification.Study design. The study is divided into two parts, both employing a survey consisting of different questionnaires. For both parts, the survey included the adapted version of collective self-esteem scale and its correlates.Participants. The study included two samples. The first sample included 260 participants (average age 36,8 years; 43% of males). The second representative sample included 1011 participants (average age 35,1 years; 47% of males).Measurements. For data processing, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach coefficient alpha, and correlation analysis were applied in the R Studio software.Results. Good results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate the presence of reliability-consistency of the scale. The external validity of the scale was also evaluated, as a result we received confirmation of these types of validity.Conclusions. The scale adapted by the authors is reliable and valid and can be further used for research purposes.

Objective. Identification of the potential, approaches and directions of socio-psychological research based on the concept of gender mentality. Background. The institutionalization and academicization of gender studies in Russian science is combined with methodological discussions and the active development of terminological apparatus. The use of the concept of gender mentality makes it possible to integrate the basic principles of the gender approach into socio-psychological research, highlight its social context, subject content and levels of analysis. Methodology. Concepts of mentality and mentality, the concept of social cognition, social constructivism, methodology of gender studies. Conclusions. Understanding mentality as a specificity of group consciousness of people, determined by socio-cultural and spatio-temporal features of the group's life activity, allows us to determine the content of gender mentality as intersubjective, variable and changing social knowledge based on ideas about male and female in culture and society, to identify the content of cognitive, emotional, semantic and behavioral components, as well as its transformation content at the macro, meso and micro levels, using comparative, structural and normative approaches.

Objective. Establishing the potential of reflexive image of personal security by subjects in the construction of scenarios of their conflict interaction.Background. The preservation and dissemination of the psychological practice of conflict interaction require further research aimed at improving the understanding of the factors of its occurrence and dynamic development. The authors of the article link their work in this direction with the introduction of the category of personal security into the research space of conflictology. The corresponding phenomenon, falling into the basic layers of the human need sphere, acquires a controlling status for its activity, including that in the form of conflict interaction.Study design. The paper demonstrates the possibility of constructing scenarios of personal security of subjects of conflict interaction and identifying their differences depending on the content of reflection. Procedures for comparing the quantitative distribution of different types of security scenarios were performed using the criterion φ* (Fisher’s angular transformation).Participants. Russian sample: 250 people (52.0% of girls and 48.0% of boys) aged 18 to 21 years (M=19.6, SD=19.5).Measurements. The main methods were the analysis of products and expert evaluation, the additional method was the clarifying conversation.Results. The reflection on personal security affects the quantitative and qualitative features of the interaction of conflict subjects. The scope and target pole of personal security are private parameters of reflection by subjects of conflict interaction and determine the scenario of its construction.Conclusions. The construction of scenarios of conflict interaction, taking into account the peculiarities of personal security reflection by its subjects, gives a new vision of the processes of initiation, planning, development and termination of the conflict. Scenarios of conflict interaction reveal the resource priorities of the subjects involved in it as a productive zone for applying efforts in the interests of overcoming it.

Establishing the potential of reflexive image of personal security by subjects in the construction of scenarios of their conflict interaction.Background. The preservation and dissemination of the psychological practice of conflict interaction require further research aimed at improving the understanding of the factors of its occurrence and dynamic development. The authors of the article link their work in this direction with the introduction of the category of personal security into the research space of conflictology. The corresponding phenomenon, falling into the basic layers of the human need sphere, acquires a controlling status for its activity, including that in the form of conflict interaction.Study design.

Objective. To analyze the currently available data on social risk factors and their influence on the IA development process and to evaluate possible prospects for further research in the field of Internet addiction behavior in children and adolescents.Background. The excessive Internet use among children and adolescents is known to be a serious public health problem, however, the influence factors and the mechanisms of Internet addiction (IA) remain largely unknown. The importance of social factors in the formation of addictive behavior is undeniable, and currently there seems to be an extremely little information of this kind of research. So far many mechanisms explaining the contribution of family and school factors to the development of IA have not been identified. The question remains open why, with the same conditions of upbringing, some adolescents develop IA, while others do not.Conclusions. The quality of family relationships and the school environment have a significant impact on the IA development process in young people, which is mediated through the development of certain character traits that either facilitate for social norms and rules to be acquired or encourage the addictive behavior. However, social factors of influence cannot be considered to be absolute. The presence in adolescents of such qualities as a high level of self-control and volitional self-regulation provide the resilience to the IA development process. The phenomenon of resilience is an extremely urgent but poorly studied area, which determines the prospects for further scientific research, including the problem of Internet addiction behavior in children and adolescents.

Objective. Comparison of the value bases of faith, objects of faith, belief in conspiracies, the level of religiosity among representatives of the “Information” and “New” generations.Background. If traditional values are destroyed, meaning is lost, there is an intergenerational gap, and religious institutions are in crisis, the problem of religious certainty for young generations arises. There is a lack of confidence in the younger generation, a gap between external and internal religiosity. The generational approach to the study of religiosity is poorly represented in research. It is highly relevant to study the features of religiosity and faith of representatives of generations in a transitive society.Study design. The study was conducted using a socio-psychological survey. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, methods for determining the significance of differences in indicators.Participants. Secondary school students (150 people, 53% girls and 47% boys from 14 to 17 years old) are the “New” generation; first-year university students aged 19 to 23 years (140 people, 50% girls and 50% boys) are the “Information” generation of Rostov-on-Don.Measurements. Method of measuring types of mentality; method of measuring values through fears; method of “Belief in a conspiracy”; scale of ranking objects of faith; questionnaire for measuring religiosity. The SPSS-20 application software package was used. to process the results.Results. In both groups, the innovative mentality prevails, archetypes are in the transition zone from tradition to innovation; the value of the “Mystical” is less pronounced in the “Information” generation; representatives of both generations believe more in miracles, God, Paradise and life after death; to a lesser extent — in UFOs, ghosts and witchcraft. Representatives of the “Information” generation believe more in political, food and pharmaceutical conspiracies. Representatives of the “New” generation believe more in information and food conspiracies. The “Information” generation believes that spirituality and faith are very important in life, but they do not adhere to any religious faith, they consider themselves spiritual. The degree of religiosity in both groups is weak, but prevails in the group of the “New” generation.Conclusions. There is a contradiction between the objects of faith, spirituality and religiosity. This indicates that the representatives of the studied generations have immature forms of religiosity.
