Abstract

The paper considers the peculiarities especially the formation of attitudes towards women, in connection with the ethno-religious characteristics of the processing of their appearance (for example, hidjab (Islamic head-cover)). The object of the study were 106 people, 56 women and 50 men aged 22 to 30 years (mean age 27 years), residents of the city of Rostov-on-Don, Russia. This age group was chosen due to the fact that young people are the most susceptible to influence and manipulation group. The study used a "Scale of hostility" Cook-Medley (method translated and adapted by Yu.A.Mendzheritskaya), as well as the author's questionnaire, which consisted of stimulus material (2 sets of photos of 5 girls in one case it was a portrait shot from the front with natural make-up, a second set - the same girls, but in black hijab), respondents were asked to estimate the ratio of the girls in the photographs shown on a scale from friendly to hostile. Based on the results we can say that the level of aggression can lead to a negative, hostile attitude towards the Muslim girl (based only on the design of the external appearance), besides more men evaluate their attitude to the girls wearing the hijab as hostile.

Summary

Introduction

Recent events led to the emergence of sustainable phrase "Islamic factor". Starting from the terrorist attacks in Moscow, Stavropol region, in different regions of the North Caucasus and ending with the conflict with the Islamic state and the terrorist attack in France at the editorial office of “The Charlie Hebdo” this theme (the relationship with the Islamic world) has been brought up in various works on political science, conflict studies, sociology, philosophy and psychology. Elashi F.B. et al (2010) noted that negative stereotypes towards Muslims escalated after the events of September 11th. Starting from the terrorist attacks in Moscow, Stavropol region, in different regions of the North Caucasus and ending with the conflict with the Islamic state and the terrorist attack in France at the editorial office of “The Charlie Hebdo” this theme (the relationship with the Islamic world) has been brought up in various works on political science, conflict studies, sociology, philosophy and psychology. Considering the history of the South of Russia, it is important to note that the proximity to the republics of the North Caucasus, as well as trade and economic and political ties provided interaction between people of different nationalities and religions. In this situation, the categorization of “the other” in appearance comes to the fore. The last one - conflict at the border with a Russian girl aiming to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (June 2015)
