When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Inequality in Russia

Ch. 27. P. 311–319.
Mareeva S.

This chapter describes the issues of monetary inequality in modern Russia, its dynamics in recent years and the current structure of Russian society in terms of income. When measured by traditional indicators, income inequality among the whole population is noticeably higher in Russia than in Western Europe. The calculation of an integral index made it possible to construct a general model for the stratification of the mass strata of Russian society that demonstrates the configuration of non-monetary inequality in Russian society today. Public perceptions of inequality in Russia today are based mostly not on the specifics of individual situations, but on shared subjective norms and beliefs about inequality and their contrast with existing reality. In Russian sociological discourse, questions are raised about how the social structure of modern society can be characterised, in particular whether it is a class structure and, if so, what are the main classes and their specifics and what prospects might they have in the future.

While the topic of sustainable development has been extensively explored, there is a lack of quantitative assessment of economic sustainability in the scientific literature; moreover, the term is often interpreted with excessive attention to the environment but not socio-economic inequality. In addition, university cities are often considered the most sustainable, although the higher education system ...

The article explores various aspects of how Russians perceive the development and preservation of their human potential. We demonstrate that, despite some positive changes, Russians mostly view their own situation and opportunities in relation to human potential as average. This finding aligns with the overall perception of the population’s subjective social well-being. The way Russians ...

Income inequality among regions in Russia gives rise to a number of social and economic problems. The causes of inequality are numerous and relatively well-studied. However, different studies may present directly opposing characteristics of factors and conditions contributing to inequality growth. This can be attributed to the geographic, historical, cultural, industrial, and even natural-climatic specificities ...

Support for reducing inequality in the new Russia: Does social mobility matter?
Mareeva S., Slobodenyuk E., Anikin V. A., Intersections (Hungary) 2022 Vol. 8 No. 2 P. 175–196
This paper addresses the issue of the interrelation between different types of social mobility and support for reducing income inequality in contemporary Russia. Drawing from the Russian subsets of the International Social Survey Programme’s (ISSP) surveys, we estimate how this support is differentiated across experienced and expected subjective mobility. Official statistics and empirical survey data ...

Постсоветская государственность и общество. Статья 3. Укрепление государственности и социальный контракт между обществом и властью.
Korotaev S., Shkaratan O., Общественные науки и современность 2018 № 1 С. 59–74
Заключительная часть статьи (статьи 1 и 2 см. «ОНС», 2017, № 4, 6) сосредоточивается на вопросах углубления социально-экономического неравенства россиян в постсоветский период. Авторы показывают, что высокие показатели неравенства главным образом обусловлены принципами управления страной, цель которых — концентрация власти в руках государственной верхушки. Раскрывается природа сложившейся в постсоветской России социально-экономической системы — как этакратизма в новой фазе его развития (неоэтакратизма). Утверждение неоэтакратизма охватило три исторических ...
