Adaptation to Anti-Crisis Measures: Individual Rights and Public Safety

The current stage of social development is characterized by natural and technological changes, the consequences of which can lead to both global and local shocks, taking the character of institutional crises, emergencies, catastrophes. Anti-crisis measures, post-disaster recovery concern all aspects of social life, include the macro level and the daily way of life of the population. The effectiveness of any measures developed by the subjects of the institutional environment is directly and directly related to the way the population chooses to adapt to them: accepts – ignores – rejects The purpose of the analysis in the article is to identify personal characteristics, external factors, social positions and preferences associated with choosing the priority of personal ideas about ways to ensure security in crisis conditions or measures developed by professionals and institutional structures. The empirical basis of the analysis is the data of the 27th wave of the all-Russian monitoring of the economic situation and health of the population. The analysis is carried out on the basis of a representative sample, from which respondents aged less than 18 years have been removed. The selected indicators are grouped into several blocks: socio-demographic characteristics of respondents; adaptive capabilities; values; security; attitude to the social environment. The analysis of empirical data undertaken in the article revealed a number of similarities and differences between target groups formed according to the criterion of accepting restrictions on rights and freedoms for the sake of ensuring public safety. Interpretation of the results obtained allows us to assert that the resources of “reformatting” the initially declared attitude to non-acceptance of environmental requirements are the development of personal adaptability, the growth of institutional trust, closer cooperation between the population and decision-making entities, a significant increase in the level of responsibility in relation to the laws.
