The article examines the project of a new scientific discipline, ethnosophy, which was proposed by the Africanist V.R. Arseniev (1948–2010) and emerged at the intersection of ethnographic knowledge and philosophy. The features of V.R. Arseniev’s worldview that led him to the idea of a new science are noted: the study of archaic societies; anticolonialism; criticism ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

This paper attempts to model the evolutionary theory of modernization and democratization. The model reflects the key provisions of R. Inglehart and C. Welzel's theory and provides a microfoundation for the adaptation of subjective values to the objective importances of the survival factors and the structure of the labour markets from the perspective of evolutionary ...

This paper attempts to revisit the critical realist theory of reflexivity, derived from the pragmatist tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI). It discusses how interactionist sociology, with its emphasis on investigating microstructures through meaning‐making, has formed a critical realist theory of reflexivity that serves as a theoretical bridge between the micro and macro levels—specifically, between ‘subjective ...

We argue that a classification-based approach to measuring cultural differences across countries or subnational regions is a promising complement, and sometimes an alternative, to the widely used dimensional method in cross-cultural research. The latter summarises cultural variation using continuous dimensions, for example, Hofstede’s famous individualism-collectivism dimension. However, this approach relies on strong parametric assumptions, which are ...

Non-probability web surveys offer several advantages over face-to-face (F2F) interviews—they are cheaper, faster, more accessible, and reduce interviewer effects and desirability bias. As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research. However, they often yield demographically biased samples, raising concerns about the accuracy of the resulting public opinion estimates. Most studies on ...

Research of the impact of kin alloparenting on reproduction mainly focuses on mother’s parents and parents-in-law. The impact on fertility of extended families and the alloparental help with childcare they can provide has received much less attention. Moreover, there is an important lacuna in the existing studies of this problem, as it is mostly approached ...

Traditionally, Delhi’s markets are oversaturated spaces for sensory perception: a cacophony of sounds, contrasting smells, and a vivid visual cascade. This study adopts a sensitive ethnographic lens to examine how bodily sensations relate to sociality, of- fering insight into the social order of the marketplace and an individual’s position within it. What markers evoke comfort ...

Для понимания какого-либо качества, как правило, выбирается, некоторая подходящая для его оценки шкала (скажем, от 1 до 5), и, согласно этой шкале, качеству присваиваются одна или несколько оценок. Эти оценки затем преобразуются в одну, “усредненную”, оценку; например, выбирается среднее арифметическое. Так, несданная сессия с тремя баллами 5, 2 и 5 “характеризуется’’ средней оценкой хорошо: (5+2+5)/3 = ...

The notion of “political accommodation” applied to the theory and practice of managing cultural diversity could enrich the Russian academic dictionary. Liberal democratic states invented specific mechanisms for political accommodation of cultural differences. Thanks to these mechanisms, the part of the population of a democratic state that is not ready to dissolve into the ethnocultural ...

The article addresses the problem of delineating the boundaries of research subjectivity in the course of ethnographic work. Separating the roles of the researcher-as-fieldworker and the researcher-as-theorist is proposed as a methodological experiment that enables a deeper analysis of empirical material. As an empirical case, the authors draw on observation diaries collected during fieldwork in ...

The development of single-industry towns is one of the most important aspects of establishing an effective economy for many post-Soviet states. Single-industry towns (monocities) significantly increase the level of private sector competitiveness, but present a challenging socio-economic situation, considering the vulnerability and dependence of the locality on the welfare of the single industry and on ...

Russia’s Maternal Capital policy increased total fertility rates after its start, stimulating much discussion on whether it would result in more births or only earlier births. Effects of that policy upon ...
