Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

NRU HSE , 2022. No. 111.
Anastasia A. Smirnova, Matvei A. Mordasov
This study focuses on the language situation in the Izhemsky District of the Komi Republic. The majority of the population of the district speaks a variety of Komi, which has been formed over several centuries of Komi presence in this remote area. The local communities display a diglossia of the standard variety of Komi and a local one. The third idiom that is present in the area is Russian. The article analyses of the coexistence of these three idioms in local communities.

Individualism–collectivism: Reconstructing Hofstede’s dimension of cultural differences
Akaliyski P., Vignoles V., Welzel C. et al., Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 2025 Vol. 130 No. 2 P. 308–356
Individualism–collectivism (I-C), the most widely researched cultural dimension, is often equated with Hofstede’s pioneering nation scores. Concerns are growing about these scores’ validity, but subsequent research has not produced a widely accepted alternative. Here, we offer a refined theoretical conceptualization of I-C, we systematically reevaluate the validity of Hofstede’s I-C scores, and we report the ...

Is societal progress muting the expressivity of negative emotions? Evidence from two cross-national studies
Yeung J. C., Lun V. M., Li L. M. et al., Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 2026 P. 1–30
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. Using meta-analysis and multilevel modeling ...

«Суверенная зависимость»: механизмы удержания в российских цифровых экосистемах
Stupitskiy A., Социологические исследования 2026 № 8 С. 92–105
The classical theory of platforms describes user dependency on digital ecosystems as a rational economic choice: users stay because it is convenient and switching is costly. But what happens when there is nowhere to switch — not because alternatives are less convenient, but because the state has eliminated them? This article introduces the concept of “sovereign lock-in” to ...

We examined how language affects moral judgments in a non-WEIRD population. Tanzanian participants (N = 103) evaluated utilitarian agents in moral dilemmas, either in native Chagga or foreign Swahili.

Indirect sacrifices ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge
Poddiakov A., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026. No. 7437658.
Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

LANGUAGE POLICY IN MULTIETHNIC COUNTRIES
-, 2026.
The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different story. Language policy ...
