ЦІННІСНИЙ ПРОФІЛЬ ПРИХИЛЬНИКІВ ПРИМИРЕННЯ УКРАЇНИ ТА РОСІЇ

Abstract

The article studies an individual's value orientations, their role in shaping his/her worldview. The study aims to find out the psychological characteristics and value orientations of Ukrainians depending on their commitment to signing a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia in the context of the full-scale war between these countries. This analysis can help scientists identify the main values and beliefs that underlie the position of peace treaty supporters, and deepen their understanding on attitudes to the conflict and influencing factors in representatives of different social groups. As a result, the findings can be used to develop preventive measures against appearing prejudice and conflicts between holders of different ideas in Ukrainian society. Via empirical study, we obtained and analyzed the value profiles of people supporting peace treaty, identified the key values that motivate people to accept a particular scenario of a peace treaty between the countries and explored their relations with people's psychological characteristics. In particular, the respondents who opposed a peace treaty had a high level of values related to «Friendliness», «Universalism», «Independence» and «Security». In contrast, respondents who supported a peace treaty showed higher values such as «Friendliness», «Conformity», «Independence» and «Stimulation», and lower values such as «Tradition», «Power» and «Security». Respondents who preferred a peace treaty demanding withdrawal of Russian troops and return to the borders as of 1991 had higher values such as «Tradition», «Power» and «Achievement». Respondents who preferred a peace treaty demanding return to the borders as of 24 February 2022 showed lower values such as «Friendliness», «Independence», «Stimulation» and «Universalism». Respondents who supported a peace treaty that would stipulate the withdrawal of troops from the territory of Ukraine to the borders as of 24 February 2022 have statistically lower «Achievement» value than the respondents from other groups.
