В статье рассматривается взаимное влияние доверия и вовлеченности населения в социальные практики гражданского общества на примере добровольческого тру- да и денежных пожертвований. Эти социальные практики отличаются наиболь- шей социальной значимостью, массовостью, постоянством и составляют устой- чивое ядро жизнедеятельности гражданского общества. Доверие и недоверие выполняют специфические функции по отношению к со- циальным практикам гражданского общества. Доверие выступает основой само- организации, совместной деятельности людей, служит поддержанию моральных основ и социальных норм; обеспечивает социальную интеграцию, определенный уровень коммуникации индивидов и их общностей. Существующий уровень до- верия в определенной ситуации формирует перцептивную установку на ее вос- приятие. Недоверие защищает от нежелательных последствий взаимодействия, вызывает дистанцирование и, как результат, не достаточный уровень вовлечен- ности населения в повседневные практики гражданского общества. Таким образом, отсутствие оптимального баланса доверия и недоверия будет затруднять вовлечение населения в социальные практики гражданского общест- ва, что является препятствием для становления их как массовых и распростра- ненных. Оно способствует появлению спорадических и недостаточно освоенных социальных практик, что будет затруднять становление самого гражданского об- щества как одного из базовых институтов российского общества.

Several approaches to the concept of fatherhood present in Western sociological tradition are analyzed and compared: biological determinism, social constructivism and biosocial theory. The problematics of fatherhood and men’s parental practices is marginalized in modern Russian social research devoted to family and this fact makes the traditional inequality in family relations, when the father’s role is considered secondary compared to that of mother, even stronger. However, in Western critical men’s studies several stages can be outlined: the development of “sex roles” paradigm (biological determinism), the emergence of the hegemonic masculinity concept, inter-disciplinary stage (biosocial theory). According to the approach of biological determinism, the role of a father is that of the patriarch, he continues the family line and serves as a model for his ascendants. Social constructivism looks into man’s functions in the family from the point of view of masculine pressure and establishing hegemony over a woman and children. Biosocial theory aims to unite the biological determinacy of fatherhood with social, cultural and personal context. It is shown that these approaches are directly connected with the level of the society development, marriage and family perceptions, the level of egality of gender order.
