The majority of news encountered in media spaces tends to be negative. At the same time, the flow of information in the modern world is increasing, and series of successive crises prompting heightened attention to such content. There is such a phenomenon as doomscrolling. This study explores how doomscrollers describe their emotional experience of consuming news and strategies for managing negative emotions. Drawing upon empirical data from 47 interviews with doomscrollers conducted between late 2022 and early 2023. Informants associate negative news consumption with emotions such as anxiety (egotropic and sociotropic), helplessness/powerlessness (low external political efficacy and inability to control one's own life), apathy, and anger. Emotional experiences are often described using medicalized and psychotherapeutic vocabulary. Doomscrollers refer to their emotions as a form of illness, manifesting in the use of specialized terms, references to attempts at regulation with the help of healthcare professionals, and emphasis on the physical health consequences of news consumption. The coping strategies for dealing with these emotions are diverse. Informants may attempt to change their media consumption style by limiting their attention to negative news. At the same time, doomscrollers who maintain a high level of news consumption engage in active discussion and collective emotional experiences and may shift their attention to other daily activities. However, the practices of doomscrollers and the meanings they ascribe to their experiences are highly variable and diverse.

This paper focuses on reflexive problematic statements represented by modal judgments of validity (subjective truth) and their combinations. It is proposed to describe these statements at three levels: reflexive problematic statements per se, modal judgments that characterize the validity of sentences constituting complex statements, and matrix representations of modal judgments. Modal judgments, as part of ...

На данных общероссийского опроса, проведенного Институтом социологии ФНИСЦ РАН в октябре 2025 года (N = 2000), показано, что реальная адаптированность к внешним условиям и объективные показатели адаптированности к ним - разные феномены. Объективные индикаторы адаптированности обладают меньшим эвристическим потенциалом, чем те, которые учитывают восприятие человеком соотношения своих потребностей и возможностей их удовлетворения. Адаптационный потенциал россиян ...

Malaria control in Malawi relies primarily on long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), but transmission remains heterogeneous across districts. Previous research indicates that community-based environmental management strategies, such as routine drainage maintenance, vegetation removal, and effective household waste disposal, may reduce environmental conditions conducive to malaria vector proliferation. This study investigated the ...

Contemporary theories of emotion emphasize the dual role of emotions as both personal
experiences and communicative signals during social interactions. However, the impact of
macro-level societal structures on emotional expression remains underexplored. This study
investigates the expression-experience discrepancy for self-reported emotions across nations,
focusing on how societal development relates to this discrepancy, which captures expressivity.
