The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Attitudes Towards Alternative Identities in Social Networking Sites

P. 622–634.
Voiskounsky A. E., Fedunina N., Evdokimenko A., Smyslova O.

Participants of social networks experience a temptation to build multiple profiles/identities which are homomorphous (sometimes isomorphic, often contradictive) to their real-life identities. While this experience may be viewed as a masquerade, it’s hard to deny psychological grounds of possessing multiple online identities. Every time a social networker owns two or more profiles, they are referred to as alternative identities, irrespective of which is ‘real’. Participants: 42 social networkers 15 to 25 years old, half of them females. Each was presented an Identity Dilemma, which involves issues of online identity and moral development. The dilemma was worked out as a part of the Good Play Project (Harvard Graduate School of Education), used by permission from the developers. Semi-structured interviewing procedure included putting selected questions to the participants while discussing the dilemma issues. By classification of interview narratives the following attitudes were selected, referring to alternative identities: affective, cognitive, and behavioral. Dispersion analysis and content analysis were performed to handle the data. Differences in attitudes, dependent on age, gender and identity parameters are described.

How Public Servants’ Characteristics, Attitudes and Competences Affect Perceptions of E-participation? Evidence from St. Petersburg, Russia
Arkatov D., , in: ICEGOV '23: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance.: NY: ACM, 2023. P. 278–285.
How do specific characteristics of public servants impact their attitudes towards e-participation?

Usually, researchers pay their attention to organizational and structural explanations for e-participation adoption and implementation success. This includes economic variables, such as GDP ...

While some evidence for such universal patterns exists more recent studies point out, there is still considerable variation in ...
