Influence Of Social Institutions Research Articles

Formation and Transmission of Traditional Values in a Modern Multigeneration Family

The purpose of the article is to discuss ideas about traditional family values that determine the sociocultural appearance of the modern Russian family and the style of intrafamily relations; about the influence of social institutions on the formation of these values, about the role of sociocultural channels of their transmission in the everyday life of families, including multigenerational ones. In the scientific literature, there is uncertainty in the interpretation of the content and scope of the concepts of “traditional family values” and “multi-generation family”, ambiguity in approaches to studying the structure of family values and methods of transmitting them to new generations. This reduces the effectiveness of scientific research against the background of the current significant increase in the activity of government policy to ensure the dominance of traditional values in the public consciousness, including in the sphere of family life. The article examines the features of a multigenerational family that localizes the direct communication of its members, which are significant for understanding the specifics of the processes of formation and transmission of traditional values in it, including those caused by the modern digitalization of communication. The study of expert opinion, which is of a reconnaissance nature, made it possible, firstly, to identify the institutional nature of traditional family values that unite close relatives for the sustainable functioning of the family community; secondly, to make the assumption that the reasons for the weakening influence of these values in family relationships are associated with a long period and significant amount of anomie in society, with the processes of secularization and digitalization, as well as with the gradual loss of the significance of the multigenerational family in its traditional form as a single household consisting from three or more generations; thirdly, to conclude that the undoubted socializing potential of a multigenerational family requires its transfer to the center of state family policy, as well as conducting in-depth scientific research into modern social problems of this type of family.

The measure of proximity of conditional distance of institutional logic and discourse practice

According to the author's position, the modern direction of sociology of management considers the field of problems around the discourse activity of an individual and social groups formed under the influence of social institutions and organizations in the process of managing digital means of communication between them. The methodology of management processes research requires new approaches to empirical sociological research, assuming the predisposition of the subject to a typical perception of activity conditions and a certain reaction, which is conditioned by the formed worldview and practical activity, which corresponds to foreign studies of postinstitutionalism. According to the author of the article, in order to apply the cluster analysis of empirical data, it is necessary to introduce conditional distances between institutional logics and practices of discourse subjects, hereinafter referred to as discursants, in the format of the research hypothesis. The present empirical study is based on the analysis of video recordings of the scientific seminar "Philo sophy of Complexity" of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), posted on the Internet, N = 121 (2019–2024); the analysis of discourse participants on the video recording of the report at the scientific seminar "Philosophy and IT" of the Insti tute of Philosophy of the RAS, posted on the Internet, N = 13 (2023).

Socioeconomic Factors and Language Variation in Punjabi Speech Communities

Introduction: The social structures and linguistic diversity of Pakistan have garnered global attention. The intricate relationship between these factors arises from the coexistence of multiple languages, each intricately tied to specific social strata. Social status often correlates with language use: English is favored by the elite and upper class, while Urdu is more prevalent among the middle class. Regional languages are commonly employed by rural residents and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these variations, Pakistani society maintains a delicate balance between social stratification and linguistic richness, resulting in a culturally diverse environment. Methodology: This research explores the complex correlation between dialect variations and language attitudes within the district of Punjab, Pakistan. With its intriguing history and rich heritage, Punjab is the country's most populous and culturally diverse region? Its inhabitants represent diverse ethnic, linguistic, and religious backgrounds, making it an ideal setting for studying language attitudes. By examining dialect variation, we seek to enhance our understanding of its influence on language attitudes and its impact on the linguistic landscape of Punjab. To achieve our objectives, we employ a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data analysis will comprehensively examine various dialectal features, while qualitative inquiry will elucidate community members' perceptions of these variations. Integrating these two methodologies allows us to unravel the dynamics of dialectal variation in the region. Results/Findings: Researchers comprehensively evaluated the vast variety of Punjabi dialects spoken in both urban and rural parts of Punjab. Data gathering involved surveys, interviews, and sociolinguistic observations. The results revealed an intricate configuration of dialect diversity shaped by urbanization, socioeconomic standing, and educational attainment. Additionally, the study explored the influence of other regional dialects on society, emphasizing language's role in shaping individual and group identities. Future Direction: The research emphasized the importance of language in influencing identity by examining how specific dialects are perceived in connection with linguistic prestige and social standing. Furthermore, the influence of social institutions news channels, educational institutions, and dialect diversity on linguistic perspectives and attitudes was observed. This study conducted an exhaustive examination of the intricate linguistic terrain of Punjab, Pakistan. The findings shed light on language policy and social identity implications, providing valuable insights for policymakers and researchers. Considering the impact of language policies, further exploration is needed to determine how they can facilitate or impede the spread of dialects. Understanding these dynamics will contribute to informed decisions regarding language preservation and propagation in Punjab.

Green roles at home: exploring the impact of household social dynamic processes on consumption at the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus.

Capturing the social dynamic processes among household members that work to shape consumption patterns presents a complex problem for household resource conservation studies. To bridge the gap between the individual and household, we propose and test a series of quantitative measures that explore the underlying structure of household social dynamic processes through the lens of social practice theory. Based on previous qualitative research, we develop measures to test five distinct social dynamic processes that either encourage or deter pro-environmental action: enhancing, norming, preferring, constraining, and allocating. In a sample of households (n = 120) from suburban Midwestern USA, we find that positively framed social dynamic processes (enhancing and positive norming) positively predict variance in frequency of food-, energy-, and water-conserving pro-environmental actions. Pro-environmental orientation of the individual respondent, in turn, is positively associated with perception of positively framed dynamics. These findings suggest that social dynamic processes influence individual decision-making about household consumption, supporting previous research that illustrates consumption as embedded within the relationships that form residential life. We suggest ways forward for quantitative social science researchers to explore consumption through a practice-based approach that considers the influence of social institutions on emission-intensive lifestyles.

СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНЫЙ ГАБИТУС ГРАЖДАНСКОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ УЧАЩЕЙСЯ МОЛОДЕЖИ: ФАКТОРЫ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ В УСЛОВИЯХ НЕОПРЕДЕЛЕННОСТИ РОССИЙСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА1

Objective of the study is to consider the civic identity of the student youth, its status in the social structure of society and its connection with the socio-cultural habitus, as well as the factors of formation in the conditions of uncertainty of Russian society. The methodological basis of the research is based on the use of the provisions of a number of theories: habitus theory, constructivism theory, value and institutional approaches. Research results. The socio-cultural habitus of the civic identity of the student youth is considered as a manifestation of the identity of youth within the framework of the formation of its civic identity, which is: formed under the influence of social institutions that transmit cultural values and norms operating in Russian society; determined by the position of the individual in the social structure, is based on the principles of law and is associated with social self-organization. Three groups of factors of formation of the habitus of civic identity of youth are identified: culture based on certain norms and values; patriotism and patriotic education of youth; historical memory. Based on these factors, a cognitive model of the formation of the civic identity of students is constructed. Prospects of the study are related to the subsequent study of strengthening the civic and regional identity of students in a modern society of risk and social uncertainty in order to consolidate Russian society.

Modern Reading of the Sociology of Morality

The paper analyzes theoretical concepts and empirical tools for the study of morality, altruism, contributing to the development of ideas, beliefs and values about justice or its absence and trust or distrust in oneself, people around and social institutions. The relevance of studying this issue has become especially acute during a pandemic, when questions of morality and ethics have become urgent for many people in everyday space with the daily choice of their own behavior, the safety of themselves and others during and after a pandemic. These research focuses are studied within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach to the sociology of morality. It is shown that the moral dimension of social reality is a key marker of social reproduction. This position is proved by the appeal of contemporaries within the framework of sociology, psychology, philosophy to these topics, as well as the author’s own empirical research conducted in 2019–2020 by filling out diaries for six months (165 people), where moral emotions arising in any life were recorded situations, the methodology of Sh. Schwartz was used to identify the basic values (survey of research participants) and focus group conversations (54 people), which made it possible to identify the discrepancy between the declared values and situational reactions to various interactions mediated by moral emotions. The article traces the influence of social interaction, produced through the influence of social institutions that develop group norms, on the behavior of individuals in certain situations of interaction and group reactions in the process of communication and subsequent assessments of this process. It is proved how moral emotions either strengthen the existing functioning of social institutions or destroy it, eroding the clear framework of what is proper, acceptable, and correct. It also shows how and why situational factors influence norms and values more than general ideas about moral norms. The article may be of interest to philosophers, sociologists and specialists in helping professions for fixing and reflecting on moral states and transformations of the modern social environment.

Эстетика раннего французского романтизма и ее литературные ипостаси. Жермена де Сталь

The article reconstructs the early romantic philosophical aesthetics of Madame de Stael, which was embodied in her literary work. She made a significant contribution to the creation of the theory of romanticism, compared the romantic and classical types of creativity. De Stael was one of the first French romantics to use the term “romanticism”, define it and analyze from a philosophical and aesthetic point of view a number of key concepts for this new direction of artistic life: love, passion, enthusiasm, spirituality, sensitivity, reflection, self-reflection, melancholy, self-sacrifice, loneliness, alienation, imagination, inspiration, imagery, aesthetic pleasure, taste, talent, genius, ideal. She conceptualized the trend that would become prevalent in mature romanticism — a combination of the incongruous, sharp contrasts and tragic collisions of opposite principles — the sublime and the low, the beautiful and the ugly. De Stael attached particular importance to the national characteristics of artistic creativity, its rootedness in popular culture, and the influence of social institutions on art. She made a significant contribution to the development of aesthetic aspects of literary theory, put forward an innovative thesis about the “metaphysical” language that distinguishes the romantic style. The aesthetic vector of de Stael is directed to the future associated with the development of romantic art. All these ideas were reflected in her literary works.

СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ ИНСТИТУТЫ И ИХ ВЛИЯНИЕ НА ЦИКЛИЧНОСТЬ РАЗВИТИЯ ЭКОНОМИКИ

The purpose of the research is to study of the features of the influence of social institutions on the cyclicality and dynamics of economic development in the context of identifying the role of social institutions at individual phases of the cycle of economic development, as well as consideration of the functions and tools of social institutions by phases of economic development. The subject of the research is a set of roles, functions and tools of social institutions related to different phases of the cycle of economic development. The methodological base is formed for the implementation of scientific research tasks. Its tools are methods that allow reflecting the features of the influence of social institutions on the cyclical nature of the economy: the method of theoretical foundations, the method of grouping, the method of analysis, the method of comparison, the method of implication. As a result of the study, it is indicated that the functions of social institutions should be highlighted: the consolidation of emerging social relations, adaptation, regulatory processes, a communication basis and a translational basis. The instruments that influence economic fluctuations are formed in the context of social institutions. Thus, the institution of the family is characterized by the use of an optimization mechanism, the concept of sustainability of social relations, the concept of production and distribution of economic benefits in order to meet the needs of each of the subjects.

My positionality as a teacher: my testimony as educator with a global perspective

When examining one’s positionality, it is impossible to ignore the outside influence of social institutions on personal viewpoints and opinions. My lived experiences from childhood to the present have helped me to realize the importance of giving marginalized groups a voice within education. From being an outsider to a new culture while studying in Spain to learning about the struggles of the indigenous peoples of Australia through personal narratives, my eyes were opened to the fact that marginalized groups are underrepresented in curriculums around the world. Experiencing various cultures and education systems around the world has given me a global perspective on how to implement an epistemically diverse curriculum in my classroom. An interdisciplinary educational approach would allow for various perspectives and ideas from different disciplines to come together in one classroom for a common goal of a well-rounded education for students.

ISSUES OF LEGAL SOCIALIZATION OF YOUTH

The author's comprehensive research on the problem of legal socialization is aimed at studying the theoretical issues of legal socialization, as well as the influence of social institutions on these processes, the relationship of legal socialization with the legitimacy of laws and statebodies. Legal socialization is a process by which people acquire legal knowledge and beliefs about the law, state bodies that are called to observe the legal order, and legal institutions.

"Understanding growth convergence in India (1981-2010): Looking beyond the usual suspects".

The literature on growth convergence has focused to a great extent on the role of initial incomes as a primary determinant of long-term growth outcomes. Expanded versions of growth models have used other explanators to unpack the growth process. In this paper we add to the literature in two significant ways: (a) we use socioeconomic variables that are sometimes overlooked in explaining growth (such as, political stability and political alliance, social heterogeneity, and demographic distribution), and (b) we demonstrate that earlier analyses may be overlooking the problem of normality and endogeneity in regression models (and we provide alternate methods like instrumental variable and distribution dynamics to control for these). In this paper we analyze the per capita income growth at the subnational level in India for the period 1981–82 to 2010–11 using an expanded growth framework. We find that initial incomes, the ratio of working age group to total population, political stability and alliance, and the extent of development expenditure play a positive and significant role in predicting growth. We also find that, contrary to popular belief, the presence of marginalized groups—namely Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes—have not been a hindrance to growth of per capita incomes in states. Our findings on the influence of social institutions may have significant implications for a public policy of affirmative action in India. The results on the impact of development expenditure on growth is also important for states seeking to increase their growth rates through policy intervention.

The poetics of space in the short stories cycle “The Lonely Windmills” by S. Stratiev

This article aims at analysis of spatial structures in the short stories cycle by the Bulgarian writer “The Lonely Windmills” (1969) and they role in the interpretation of the deformation of a human personality and of the loss of moral guidance. The delimitation of the chronotopes is made through taking into account the viewpoints of the narrator (the idealized past in the oppostion to the present) and the dwellers of his native street (a world contingently closed in itself and with certain traits of a fairytale chronotope. It is contrasted with the unlimited outside space). When creating the different types of spaces, the author actively uses such spatial and binary oppositions as up / down, close / distant, open / closed, big / small. A special role in the marking of one’s own / other worlds is played be the colour. The space of the past with the mythologeme of home in its centre is characterized through bright colours. They however are disappearing while the main character is growing. The home playing a structurizing role in the cycle, is a guarantee to preserve the individuality of a human. Once it is lost, the personality is deformed. Taking part in the modelling of the art world of Stratiev, the spatial structures and the motifs of home and memory about it incarnate the author’s ideas on the destruction of a personality due to oblivion, the loss of homeland, and under the influence of social institutions.

Influence of Social Cultural Factors on Management of Resources in Awoja Watershed

The influence of social institutions in the management of control of access to watershed resources in a changing climate has not been fully explored. This study examined the influence of social factor variables on the management of control of access to Awoja watershed. The study was conducted in Awoja watershed in Eastern Uganda facing frequent floods and draughts. The study used a cross sectional research design involving factor analysis and logistical regression to determine the influence of social contextual factors on watershed management. Qualitative methods were also used to explain statistical trends. From the household survey data correlation results indicated that, there was a significant relationship between the social issues and management of the watershed (r = 0.353, P −0.489, P −0.249, P < 0.01). From the Logistical Regression two factors “institutions” and “rationale for access” had an increasing influence on watershed management while the other factors had a decreasing influence on watershed management. However, while the influence of institutions was increasing and significant, the influence of rationale for access to protected areas was increasing but not significant. Factors with negative influences included culture, social cohesion and social conflicts which had significant negative influence. The study also found that climate change had negative consequences on existing social institutions due to its ability to erode the powers of traditional institutions and to intensify resource conflicts. The study recommended the need for a local governance system to empower the key gatekeepers in the watershed management in order to promote the role of social institutions in the control of access to watershed resources.

Do que se trata noticiabilidade

Este artigo é o começo de uma pesquisa sobre critérios de noticiabilidade (CN). Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória feita com análise de acontecimento construído através de um website noticioso regional e um quality paper brasileiro durante uma semana construída. O principal objetivo é analisar os valores-notícia, partindo-se da proposta de Franciscato (2014), escrita em 2002 como parte de sua tese. Inicialmente, fazemos um estado da arte de CN no Brasil. Em seguida, mostramos uma análise de quality paper com o site noticioso regional baiano. Ao final, apresentamos uma consideração principal: existem combinações mais frequentes entre os intrínsecos ou valores-notícia: proximidade com importância, distância com ruptura e importância com continuidade. Serviço e influência de instituição social, que são fatores, geralmente, desconsiderados, devem também entrar na análise da noticiabilidade.

The influence of social institutions on managers’ concept of trust: Implications for trust-building in Sino-German relationships

Trust has predominantly been seen as a universal construct. Recent research suggests that members of different cultures vary in their understanding of trust. These variations are mostly attributed to the national institutional environment. In describing China and Germany's institutional environments, we emphasize the fundamental institutional differences reflected in their managers’ conceptualizations of trust. Based on 45 interviews with Chinese and German managers, we identify shared elements in their concepts of trust that are likely to foster Sino-German trust development, but also two important dissimilarities which can hinder the development of trust in these relationships.

The Influence of Western Society's Construction of a Healthy Daily Life on the Conceptualisation of Occupation

This article proposes that the current conceptualisation of occupation within the dominant Anglophone literature reflects central elements of Western society's construction of a ‘healthy’ daily life, the ‘ideal’ and expected way to live. Contemporary theories of social action are used to describe the structuring influence of social institutions on daily activity. Four of the commonly identified characteristics of occupation, that it is active, purposeful, temporal and meaningful, are discussed in relation to Western institutions and related aspects of daily life. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive account of the socio-historical construction of the concept of occupation, but rather to illustrate the coherence of characteristics of occupation with those of Western daily life. The implications of this for understandings of occupation amongst groups and communities with alternative constructions of daily life are discussed. Some examples are offered, particularly from Greece, as a Christian Orthodox, non-industrialised, largely collectivistic society.

The Influence of Social Institutions on African American Women's Sexual Values and Attitudes

Few researchers have examined the sexual values and attitudes of African American women. Through the use of focus group interviews, this study examined how African American women's sexual values and attitudes were shaped by their experiences with certain social institutions. The researcher (MRA) found that the sexual values and attitudes of African American women were negatively influenced by their experiences with sexuality education, religious institutions, and health care providers. The largely negative experiences reported by participants lead to the intemalization of negative feelings and affected participants' emotional and sexual development.

Castile, Iran, and Economic Windfall

W A HAT can happen if a traditional society receives a massive infusion of new wealth? We examine the experiences of early modern Castile and contemporary Iran. We eschew purely economic explanations such as the quantity theory of money, and stress instead the influence of social institutions and government policies on economic growth and political stability. Castile was the direct recipient of the largest transfer of wealth during the 16th and 17th centuries. The discovery of gold and silver in the New World had the greatest impact on this region of Spain which, incidentally, was not a unified state at that time.' More recently, members of OPEC were the beneficiaries of a similar windfall due to the rising price of oil. The experience of Iran is particularly interesting, because it shows vividly the destabilizing effects of rapid growth. In contrast, Castile enjoyed relative political stability, but at the cost of economic stagnation.
