The article summarizes the views on the current socio-political, cultural and economic situation in the context of sociological research in journalism. The study is aimed at analyzing the views of young people on what traditional religions they follow, the level of their religious knowledge and what they should do against the activities of non-traditional religious movements and religious extremist organizations and their destructive activities. The article, written using research methods such as pilot studies, rapid surveys, focus group interviews, uses the method of multistage random sampling of sociology in journalism. Quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection have been implemented. The methods were used to organize and use focus groups, store, process, compare statistics, use the results in media research, select new methods and queries. The effectiveness of sociological research, the choice of respondents, open and closed types, survey methods (questionnaires, content analysis, expert interviews, in-depth interviews, telephone interviews, etc.) are considered. The goals and objectives of content analysis in the media are also clearly formulated. Methods used were social media polls, selective placement by industry, and random polls. The problems of sociological research (organization, planning, recognition of social reality) in the work of the editorial board were not left aside.

The article presents various approaches and methods of historiographic research, shows the interrelation between history and historiography. The works depicting the historiographic analysis of important sociological categories and concepts are singled out. The subject, methods and tasks of historiographic studies of the knowledge of sociological science are characterized. Types and varieties of historiographic sources are indicated. The article definitely starts the sociological direction in historiography, highlights the degree of study of historiographic and source research problems. The historiography of sociological science is defined as a branch of knowledge that studies the history of accumulation of sociological knowledge, the development of sociological thought and research methodology, the history of the creation of sociological works and biographies of scientists, the influence of sociopolitical life phenomena on the work of sociologists and the impact of sociological thought on public consciousness, the history of scientific institutions , organization of sociological education and dissemination of sociological knowledge.Attention is drawn to the experience of one of the most famous and influential historiographic schools of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – the Klyuchevsky school. This school carried out a synthesis of history and sociology. Revising the conceptual tools of knowledge of the past, which the preceding historiography had, he largely shaped the subject and method of national history in a new way, focusing on analyzing the evolution of the social structure of society, researching social and economic processes, rather than describing outstanding events. Due to this, the emphasis from political and legal history was shifted to the socio-economic history. This research orientation had a clear humanistic orientation, as it brought historical research closer to the person in his social environment.The historiography of the sociological approach in the microdynamic studies of J. Turner is described, which reflects the nature and direction of theoretical studies, which are distinguished by an orientation towards active theoretical and multilateral conceptual synthesis. Attention is drawn to the fact that the very fact of developing a theory of this type testifies to the nature of the unfolding of theoretical perspectives in modern sociology. T. Kuhn’s role in the development of historiographic research is shown. In particular, the historiography and sociological aspect of Kuhn’s theory is that various episodes in the development of historiography of sociological science contribute to reconstructing the historical process of sociology, revealing its beginnings and ends, and bridging the gap between sociological theorists and social practices.

Full textAbstract:
During the period of reforming of higher education in Ukraine, issues related to the methodology and technology of teaching sociological disciplines in higher education for non-core specialties become relevant. Sociology as a science is especially relevant in Ukraine, as it preconditions the creation of scientific foundations of a conscious civil society, which enriches the population with freedom of thought and harmonious development. In order for an individual to use the obtained freedom responsibly and effectively, it is necessary to understand the fundamental principles of the functioning of various institutions of the state, its social phenomena and processes. That is why there is a need to analyze and improve the existing methods of teaching sociological disciplines. The aim of the study is to research methods of teaching sociological disciplines for students majoring in «231 − Social Work». The following methods and approaches were used in the course of research: system analysis − to find out the characteristics of modern methods of teaching sociological disciplines in free economic zones; comparative and multifactor analysis − to compare the existing types of teaching methods in the free economic zone; method of operationalization of concepts − to describe the specifics of teaching sociological disciplines in higher educational establishments. The method of teaching sociological disciplines is that it forms in students majoring in «social work» culture and thinking, the ability to correctly perceive social processes occurring in our post-communist society, contributes to the formation of knowledge about social reality, explains the logic of social development, develops conceptual apparatus, methodology and methods of sociological research.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is based on the ESRC research project: ‘Identity, Performance and Social Action: Community Theatre Among Refugees’ which is part of the research programme on ‘Identities and Social Action’. After describing the project, the paper examines the methodological specificities and different stages of Playback and Forum Theatre. The latter includes image work, character building, scenes and interventions. It argues that overall participatory theatre, techniques as sociological research methods, provide different kinds of data and information than other methods – embodied, dialogical and illustrative. The paper ends by examining the circumstances in which the use of these techniques as research methodology are be beneficial. It also calls for an overall wider use of these techniques in sociological research, especially to study narratives of identity of marginalised groups, as well as to illustrate perceptions and experiences of social positionings and power relations in and outside community groupings. Using participatory theatre as a research tool, therefore, can be considered as one form of action research.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the methods used in the study of the phenomena that make up the subject of criminology. The main task is to analyze the content of the methodology, general scientific methods, private methods and techniques used in criminological studies. In the course of their work, the authors used metaphysics and dialectic as a methodology; showed the specifics of their application to crime, as well as legal background for the nature of criminality e.g. its public danger. The authors used such general scientific methods as general scientific approaches and mid-level theories. In the case of criminality, the use of a systematic approach and philosophical teaching about human activity is shown. This enabled them to present criminality as a system the structural trait of which is a crime, and a holistic quality is a public danger which synthesizes the public danger of crimes, perpetrators and criminal groups. As a theory of the middle level, the theory of psychological alienation of the person is applied, according to which the typological feature of the criminal's personality is its anxiety for its social or biological status since the crime is psychological protection for external circumstances that cause such anxiety. Among private methods, the emphasis is on the statis-tical method used to characterize quantitative-quality crime indicators and a sociological one (interviewing, conversation, interviews, expert evaluation, analysis of documents, observa-tion). The methods above have limited possibilities: criminal statistics operate with data only on the recorded crimes, reflected in the documents of primary records, the closed criminal environment does not allow to use the method of included surveillance; the method of inter-viewing the participants of criminal groups and their relatives often gives false information, or cannot be applied because the persons in question refuse to be involved in questioning at all; the experiment deals only with certain aspects of criminal justice. The authors conclude that the combination of methodology, general scientific and specific research methods, the specificity of their application to group crime form the methodology of its study. They point out the application in criminology of sociometric and stratometric methods, by which the mechanism of formation, the dynamics of the development of criminal groups is shown, their classification is given, the number of group members is revealed, their status in the group and the structure of the group is established.

Full textAbstract:
Digital sociology is a computational social science that uses modern information systems and technologies, has already formed. But the conflict with traditional sociology and its research methods has not yet been resolved. This conflict can be overcome if we remember that there is a common goal – the knowledge of the phenomena and processes of social life, which is primary in relation to the methods to be agreed upon. Digital transformation of sociology is essential, since 1) traditional sociological methods do not solve the problem of providing voluminous, reliable empirical data qualitatively and in a short time; 2) the transition from contact research methods to unobtrusive ones is in demand. The adaptation of four modern information technologies-cloud computing, big data, the Internet of things and artificial intelligence – for the purposes of sociology provides a qualitative transition in the methodology of knowledge of the digital society. Cloud computing provide researchers with tools, big data – research materials, Internet of things technology aimed at collecting indicators (receiving signals) in large volume, in real time, as direct, not indirect evidence of human behavior. The development of “artificial intelligence” technology expands the possibility of receiving processed signals of the quality of the social system without building a preliminary hypothesis, in a short time and on a large volume of processed data. Digital transformation of sociology does not mean abandoning the use of traditional methods of sociological analysis, but it involves expanding the competence of a sociologist, which requires a revision of University curricula. At the same time, combining the functions of an expert on the subject (sociologist) and data analyst in one specialist is assessed as unpromising, it is proposed to combine their professional competencies in working on unified research projects.

Full textAbstract:
Subject. The study focuses on psychological distinctions of people that influence their financial behavior. I identify the above specifics and evaluate the financial position of respondents, who were surveyed with my own questionnaires in accordance with the methodology of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, NAFI Research Centre and OECD. The survey embraces 2,088 respondents living in the Sverdlovsk Oblast. I hypothesize that behavioral types may emerge from consumer and financial decisions people make, assuming that the people differ not only by their social and property status, age and other conventional aspects to be ranked, but mainly by psychological characteristics, which may reveal sociological and psychological methods of research. Objectives. The study is to rest the sociological and psychological methodology for modeling the financial and consumer behavior of people. Methods. The sociological survey is the main applied method of research herein. The content of questionnaires and its methodology was adapted from those ones used in the OECD countries and the methodology of the Central Bank of Russia with reference to the Sverdlovsk Oblast. To determine types of people’s financial behavior, I used the VALS (Values and Lifestyles) methodology for market segmentation. Results. First, having analyzed thematic connotations through the VALS method, I proposed a typological model for segmentation of respondents’ financial and consumer behavior. Second, as part of the opinion poll processing, I revealed and summarized psychological factors influencing the financial and consumer behavior of people. Third, the sociological and psychological survey framework was probated to analyze the financial and consumer behavior of people. Conclusions and Relevance. Based on the VALS psychographic model, I proposed my own model to determine types of the financial and consumer behavior. The article enlists groups of factors influencing the financial and consumer behavior and provides the rationale for sociological and psychological methods to study common models of the financial and consumer behavior.

The study is dedicated to research of methods of sociological diagnostics, which can be used in the assessment of staff's competencies. Theoretical framework of this survey is T. Parson’s structural functionalism, the approach that sees the society as a complex system. The research questions were how we can analyze competencies by using sociological diagnostics and what the features of sociological diagnostics are. In order to achieve the target, it was analyzed the assessment of staff's competencies in the museum complex “The Cathedral”, Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Methodology of the research was structured observation, data collected by using “Mystery shopper” method. As a result, it was showed which techniques were applied in the staff’s assessment in this museum. Besides, the researcher discovered the level of museum staff’s competencies and revealed that the least developed employees’ competence was communication with visitors.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to review the characteristics and principles of research in action and actualization in this context of sociological methods and relevant research competencies of teachers. Research in action is presented as one that can be used by lecturers to obtain the necessary information about their current students, which is necessary to compensate for socio-cultural barriers to the introduction of student-centered education, choice of teaching methods, increase student motivation, general and subject competencies. Demonstrated that action research are relevant in the perspective of socio-cultural and other aspects (globalization, economic) changes in modern society.The most important features and principles of action research in the field of education are presented. It is emphasized that their purpose is determined not by the priorities of science to create a universal pedagogical theory, but by the specific tasks of practice in a particular audience or class. The principles of action research are developed and widely studied in sociology, directly related to the methods of obtaining data - surveys, interviews, focus group interviews, document analysis, observation, as well as the formulation of the research problem, setting goals and objectives of the study, and questions validity and reliability of research data. Action research procedures demonstrate the use of sociological methodology for the tasks of direct educational practice, so action research as a field of educational activity is not yet widely represented in Ukraine, can receive support and resources from the sociological field. The interaction of action research and sociology is demonstrated through the author's experience in studying students' expectations from the course. The conditions for distance learning during a pandemic are becoming a new field for the development of research practices in action. The task of creating an appropriate learning environment, adequate to the objectives of the course and the nature of the student audience, are more noticeable in the distance, when communication sessions with students are limited in time, and meeting through the screen narrows the field for observing students in the classroom and using teaching intuition.

Full textAbstract:
The unprecedented increase in the intensity of cross-border interactions in the modern world is emphasised, and the necessity of sociological monitoring of these processes is substantiated, the precondition of which is the creation of an appropriate methodology and methods. The stages of formation of theoretical sociology with particular attention to the genesis of cross-border interactions are considered. It is found that the main milestones in the formation of modern methodological principles of sociological analysis of this phenomenon are the post-classical stage of development of theoretical sociology (according to G. Zborovsky’s periodisation), the methodology of social constructivism, spatial turn and mobility in social development. The work of J. Urry’s sociology of mobility is considered, and its application to the Ukrainian realities is offered. Models of state regulation of cross-border mobility as one of the types of cross-border interactions, defined as the model of “gardener state” and “forest state”, are analysed. It is emphasised that these models had an explanatory power concerning the nation-states of the modern industrial era, but in the era of globalisation distort the understanding of central social processes and phenomena. The author analyzed the views of foreign and Ukrainian researchers on the methodological aspects of research on cross-border interactions. The systematic methodology of cross-border research, proposed by S. Ustych, is used and proposals for its improvement and implementation in research practices are formulated. The author’s position on methodological bases of sociological study of cross-border interactions as a differentiating and solidifying factor is offered.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the character of a small but detailed observational study that focused on two teams of researchers, one engaged in qualitative sociological research, the other developing statistical models. The study was presented as investigating ‘the social life of methods’, an approach seen by some as displacing conventional research methodology. The study drew on ethnomethodology, and was offered as a direct parallel with ethnographic and ethnomethodological investigations of natural scientists’ work by Science and Technology Studies scholars. In the articles deriving from this study, the authors show how even the statisticians relied on background qualitative knowledge about the social phenomena to which their data related. The articles also document routine practices employed by each set of researchers, some ‘troubles’ they encountered and how they dealt with these. Another theme addressed is whether the distinction between quantitative and qualitative approaches accurately characterised differences between these researchers at the level of practical reasoning. While this research is presented as descriptive in orientation, concerned simply with documenting social science practices, it operates against a background of at least implicit critique. I examine its character and the closely associated criticism of social research methodology and conventional social science.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we make a methodological case for mixed method social network analysis (MMSNA). We begin by both challenging the idea, prevalent in some quarters, that mixing methods means combining incompatible epistemological or theoretical assumptions and by positing an ontological argument in favour of mixed methods. We then suggest a methodological framework for MMSNA and argue for the importance of ‘mechanisms’ in relational-sociological research. Finally, we discuss two examples of MMSNA from our own research, using them to illustrate arguments from the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Background The aim of the study was to perform an in-depth exploratory analysis of the experience and image of one’s body among living kidney donors. Method The research was carried out using mixed methodology. The study on experiencing one’s own body was carried out using the sociological methodology of the grounded theory (qualitative research). This method was supplemented with psychometric measurement–the Body Esteem Scale (quantitative research). The basic research method was the in-depth interview. Using this method, a group of 25 living kidney donors who had not experienced any serious health or psychological problems after donation was examined. The participants of the study came from three transplant centers in Poland. Results The data from the sociological interviews indicate that the donors: 1. do not experience radical changes in the functioning of their body; 2. maintain full control over it and do not feel the absence of a kidney in the body; 3. consciously and reflectively take care of their body after donation. In addition, the sociological research indicates that caring for one’s own body also includes the transferred organ. The kidney donors experience a kind of bodily identity extension, including the recipient’s body. However, the personal and social identity of the studied kidney donors is not disturbed in any way. The psychometric data correspond to the sociological results and indicate: 1. a lack of extreme emotional assessments about one’s body; 2. awareness of one’s own body and consistency of its image; 3. reduced emotional assessment of body zones directly related to the surgery; 4. differences in body image between the sexes. Conclusions The research results presented in the text indicate not only the possibility, but also the need for triangulation of research methods in the study of the experience and image of one’s own body in living kidney donors. The proposed research approach employing mixed methodology within the fields of sociology and psychology for researching the phenomenon of living kidney donation is not very common.

At the moment, major geopolitical changes are taking place in the world. In the East, a new sub-region of Indo-Pacifica is being formed instead of the Asia-Pacific region, initiated by the United States, Japan, India and Australia in order to confront China and its significance. Competition between the USA, China, India and Russia is growing in the region, this process is monitored by the authors using the methodology of system analysis, which allows us to give a comprehensive description of the current situation. Using sociological research methods, in particular expert surveys in the form of a 70% longitudinal study, the authors managed to obtain empirical data in 16 countries of the Asia-Pacific region, characterizing their relationships, inter-country hierarchy, the level of security in the region. The authors emphasize the conduct of representative research, the professionalism of the implementation of sociological surveys, the submission and processing of material, the correctness, objectivity and impartiality of the analysis of the data obtained and in-depth work with the text (based on the use of the Sorbonne method), as well as the content analysis of scientific publications and publications in the media.

The article examines Russian sociology as a whole and in one particular Russian region (the Ural) through the lens of several scientific approaches. The situation in modern Russian sociology is described as a crisis, and the science itself is in need of a new revival. The Great Sociological Ural is considered as an object of research. The subject of research is the main scientific approaches towards studying sociology in the region. Of special interest is the interpretation of the generational approach, which is considered as a tool for analyzing sociology in the region. The purpose of the article is to present the resurgence process, the formation and development of sociology in the region as a subject of research in the mirror of a number of scientific approaches with an emphasis on generational analysis. The author’s theoretical framework is based on the concept of generations in B.Z. Doktorov’s sociology, including his “ladder of generations”. A generational stratification of the sociological community in the Ural is provided, including seven generations — from the moment of the resurgence of sociology in the Ural (during late 1950’s – 1960’s) up to the present day. A characteristic for each of them is provided. The author’s methodology and methods of empirical research are shown. The main methods used were in-depth interviews, the biographical method, as well as the document research method.

Purpose. Consider the subjunctive aspects of sociological support of the modern teacher formation process in the development context of the New Ukrainian School system. Theoretical basis. Theoretical basis is social and humanistic concepts of socio-philosophical, cultural, sociological, social and psychological approaches to the study of social factors in full Ukrainian school graduate adaptation in the broad context of socio-cultural realities. Scientific novelty. Based on the sociological design methodology and empirical research materials analysis of the educational and pedagogical environment state, an attempt has been made to identify the possibility of sociological procedures integration to identify the mutual influence of the educational process subjects in the modern school. Findings. It is summarized that such forms of modern teacher feedback on methods and work results as sociological assessment of stakeholder positions is an important aspect of supporting the new Ukrainian school development process. Based on the sociological assessment of priority mechanisms to improve the teaching efficiency, the respondents' qualification level as information network users and potential factors for improving their skills, the topical directions for increasing the productivity of using social networks for educational communication were identified.

Statistical methods that quantify the discourse about causal inferences in terms of possible sources of biases are becoming increasingly important to many social-science fields such as public policy, sociology, and education. These methods are also known as “robustness or sensitivity analyses”. A series of recent works (Frank [2000, Sociological Methods and Research 29: 147–194]; Pan and Frank [2003, Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 28: 315– 337]; Frank and Min [2007, Sociological Methodology 37: 349–392]; and Frank et al. [2013, Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis 35: 437–460]) on robustness analysis extends earlier methods. We implement these recent developments in Stata. In particular, we provide commands to quantify the percent bias necessary to invalidate an inference from a Rubin causal model framework and the robustness of causal inferences in terms of correlations associated with unobserved variables.

The article analyzes the processes taking place in the youth environment in the context of digitalization of society. The role of social networks is discussed. Since its inception, network analysis has been formed as an interdisciplinary direction in which psychologists, sociologists, communication specialists, anthropologists, mathematicians and statisticians combine their efforts. The social network as a way of organizing social knowledge requires a special methodological approach, different from the traditional methods of analyzing sociological information. “Digital habits” significantly affect the behavior of young people, change the “traditional” way of life. The article is of interest to specialists dealing with problems of sociology of youth, sociology of global processes, methodology of sociological research.

Sociology as a science which has many paradigms. Variety of existing paradigms were born by a long debate on the historical birth of sociology widely known as methodenstreit (debate of methods) that distinguish inductive and deductive methods, nomothetic ideographic sciences and sciences, value-free and solid values, and the separation of theory from praxis. The long debate generated a variety of paradigms in sociological research methodology, namely: positivism, post-positivism, constructivism, critical theory and participatory

The author points out the position that having its own tasks, content and internal organization, the theory of administrative services in the field of construction is aimed at expanding, deepening, refining, systematizing, and improving the reliability of scientific data.
The author defines the method of research of administrative services in the field of construction as rules or prescriptions of purposeful theoretical or practical activity within administrative services in the field of construction, as well as knowledge of rational methods, techniques, operations, procedures for their implementation.
The author defends the position, the methodology must be determined through the doctrine of the method and study of the system of such methods, and we believe that the most important interpretation of the methodology of research of administrative services in construction is that it is a system of methods, approaches, methods of administrative science. rights during the implementation of research on administrative services in the field of construction.
Within the study, the author points out the existence of methods-operations (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, etc.), which are mainly technology of working with scientific material, which should be distinguished from complex methods such as dialectics, synergetic, which are inherent in all sciences and effective within each with it. At the same time, private methods are used in jurisprudence: historical, concrete-sociological, psychological, mathematical, statistical methods and other methods. The author also proves the important role of the comparative law method.

It contains the results of a teaching experiment in higher education which aims to foster sociological imagination among students. Design/methodology/approach The study employs a mixed methodology. The quantitative data came from a survey handed out to the students with closed and open questions. The qualitative information came from the contents of class exercises in which the students had to connect the theoretical contents of the course of sociology with the biographical narratives of different research subjects. Findings The results reflect student satisfaction or appreciation regarding the use of the life story as a teaching resource, as well as a successful acquisition of sociological skills and knowledge, such as critical thinking, micro-macro connection and the interplay between structure and agency. Practical implications Life story and narrative methods should be employed in post-secondary education as teaching instruments. Originality/value The study contributes to expand the reflection on narrative techniques as a pedagogical tool. The paper provides several examples of class exercises with biographical narratives that have demonstrated to be successful for teaching sociology in higher education.

Full textAbstract:
The study’s objective is to develop a methodology for studying the conceptual foundations of pension legislation in three countries: the United Kingdom, France, and Russia. The following methods were used to perform the tasks set out in the introduction: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, systematic, sociological, statistical, formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical, and legal methods. The result of this work was the author’s methodology for studying the conceptual foundations of pension legislation. This methodology includes the following elements: definition and justification of the subject of research, establishing its spatial and temporal framework, development and justification of the author’s periodization of the conceptual foundations of pension legislation. In addition, as part of this study, the need to apply the conceptual foundations of pension legislation such methods of knowledge as dialectical approach, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, systematic), private scientific methods (sociological, statistical, mathematical), and private legal methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical and legal) is justified. The choice of three specific countries is since they represent different models of pension provision and different legal families. The study proves the special methodological significance of considering pension as a combination of two interrelated elements: pension insurance and budget support. The study’s novelty is due to the problem statement (the conceptual foundations of the pension legislation of the United Kingdom, France, and Russia are the first to appear as the subject of the study), as well as the interdisciplinary nature of the proposed approaches. The developed methodology can be used to study pension and other social security legislation and be extended to other countries as objects of study.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an attempt to analyse the correlation between the perception of people and their evaluation regarding contemporary interventions and changes on the façades of cultural heritage buildings, which might affect cultural sustainability. The paper uses two different experimental methods for the analysis of the building façades from various eras in the city centre of Kaunas, which experienced interventions that affected the appearance of the structures. The first experiment performed is a sociological survey, and the second one is a façade analysis conducted by the space syntax method. The paper follows the theory of Nikos Salingaros for measuring the properties of the size distribution on the façades and implements Bill Hillier’s methodology for symmetry index analysis. The research demonstrates some significant correlations between the results of Space Syntax modelling and the sociological survey answers, thus demonstrating the possibility of modelling and predicting changes in the perception of architectural transformations of the façades with potential usability in the monitoring of the transformation of cultural heritage objects, preservation of the cultural identity of a cityscape, etc.

Purpose: The problem of introducing crowdsourcing technology into the practice of regional management is considered. The content aspect of crowdsourcing use at the regional level is analyzed. The basic elements of crowdsourcing potential are revealed. The article substantiates the possibility of a new technology of the interaction between the government and society – crowdsourcing on the basis of the results of a sociological survey of Russian and foreign experts. The article proposes a methodology for identifying and analyzing the technology of crowdsourcing, examines the main stages of the formation, and analyzes the implementation of crowdsourcing technology into the practice of regional management.
Methodology: Based on the analysis of previous studies, the authors of the article formulated the definition of "crowdsourcing potential", which is understood as a system of interrelated elements that explains the main scientific approaches to improving social activity of the population, defines social objectives, methods and principles of management of crowdsourcing technology in regional governance.
Result: Crowdsourcing technology in regional governance, moreover, is a communication, efficiently constructed and acting constantly, which means that several mandatory conditions must be met to ensure the communication process.
Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students.
Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of Sociological Diagnostics of Crowdsourcing Technology in the Practice of Regional Management is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the underlying aspects of the artistic heritage of M.M. Khvostov, an eminent professor at Imperial Kazan University. The focus is on the justification of the need for creating sociological history as a new type of explanatory history. The scholar’s coherent and consistent concept of sociological history was never introduced to the public, but its basics were laid and described in his publications and lecture courses. In this concept, history was qualified as an individualizing and idiographic study and sociology as a generalizing and nomothetic one. As a result of having stemmed from the belief in the unity of scientific methodology, M.M. Khvostov placed a greater emphasis on the overlapping of the subject fields and cognitive positions of these sociological branches rather than on their opposition. In order to overcome the opposition between the typological and concrete individual ways of comprehending historical reality, he proposed their theoretical and methodological synthesis on the principle of complementarity of tasks, research approaches, and methods. Therefore, the process of cognition was thought to involve studying unique facts, using the comparative historical method, as well as identifying common, similar, and typical features. The results obtained here are important for developing the theoretical and methodological foundations of historical science: M.M. Khvostov insisted that sociological history was destined to fill the existing abstract sociological schemes with reliable historical information, to contribute to the conceptualization of critically cited facts related to the multifaceted process of historical transformations of society.

Full textAbstract:
This paper contributes to debates about the implications of digital technology for social research by proposing the concept of the redistribution of methods. In the context of digitization, I argue, social research becomes noticeably a distributed accomplishment: online platforms, users, devices and informational practices actively contribute to the performance of digital social research. This also applies more specifically to social research methods, and this paper explores the phenomenon in relation to two specific digital methods, online network and textual analysis, arguing that sociological research stands much to gain from engaging with their distribution, both normatively and analytically speaking. I distinguish four predominant views on the redistribution of digital social methods: methods-as-usual, big methods, virtual methods and digital methods. Taking up this last notion, I propose that a redistributive understanding of social research opens up a new approach to the re-mediation of social methods in digital environments. I develop this argument through a discussion of two particular online research platforms: the Issue Crawler, a web-based platform for hyperlink analysis, and the Co-Word Machine, an online tool of textual analysis currently under development. Both these tools re-mediate existing social methods, and both, I argue, involve the attempt to render specific methodology critiques effective in the online realm, namely critiques of the authority effects implicit in citation analysis. As such, these methods offer ways for social research to intervene critically in digital social research, and more specifically, to endorse and actively pursue the redistribution of social methods online.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes scientific approaches to the definition of research methods for the prevention of criminal offenses in criminal-executive institutions. Methods of knowledge are important for the chosen research methodology, and they are means of revealing, deploying and systematizing the content of the subject of research on the prevention of criminal offenses in criminal-executive institutions. It has been established that recently scientists in their research have not only begun to create their own methodological tools, but have subjected it to scientific analysis, which positively affects the final result of the study. However, in such cases, young scientists often reduce it to a traditional list of general scientific methods of cognition, since they are universal and are used in any cognitive process.
It is determined that the necessary condition for the application of the historical and legal method is the observance of the principle of unity of historical and logical, which consists in the logic of the study of the prevention of criminal offenses in criminal-executive institutions; discloses the historical recurrence of its phenomena and processes, their general principles of development, regardless of the specific forms in which they are expressed. It was noted that when applying the comparative legal method in the study of the prevention of criminal offenses in criminal-executive institutions, the goal should not be to fully implement foreign experience, since such borrowing is possible only considering the specifics of the functioning of the State criminal-executive service of Ukraine.
The most common sociological methods for knowing and assessing the level of criminal offenses committed in criminal-executive institutions are the method of interviewing convicts and staff and the method of expert assessments. These methods are the most universal for identifying the causes and conditions of criminal offences in criminal-executive institutions. It has been established that the choice of a research method depends on many factors, but its basis is mandatory methods: dialectical; comparative legal, historical; historical and legal, sociological and dogmatic. To a lesser extent, scientists use methods such as: the method of structural-system analysis; formal legal; statistical; formal-logical; a systemic-structural and systematic method. The methods and tools of scientific analysis of criminal offences committed in criminal-executive institutions by both convicts and staff allow the State Prison Service to develop comprehensive scientifically based measures to prevent them.

In the course of sociological research about the Internet, an accompanying range of new methodological approaches have been developed to investigate usage, communication, processes of appropriation, and the virtuality of the Internet. However, the exploration of the Internet as a technological and material object as well as the question of how it is involved in human practices are seen more rarely. This paper presents a methodology of software-based recording and an analysis of the interactions between humans and the Internet, which are visible on the screen. Adding methods of usability and market research to sociological Internet research, this enables us to “move closer” to the technology and to get a detailed view of human practices and Internet “actions” on the interface; therewith, it will be possible to investigate how social practices proceed when Internet technologies are involved, how users handle the Internet and to what extent it enables, facilitates, limits, or hinders practices.

Emphasis is placed on determination of the key criteria of comprehensive approach towards the analysis of art: each of the three scientific fields may have its own unique criteria for such analysis, but there also universal criteria that allow most fully assessing the essence and purpose of art, considering the general trends of its development in modern reality. The subject of this research is the methodology of comprehensive analysis of art using the instruments of sociology, culturology, and art history. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) disclosure of the content of the methodology of studying art; 2) determination of various criteria for comprehensive analysis of art within the framework of sociology, culturology, and art history; 3) demonstration of capabilities of using certain criteria in analyzing the essence of art and artworks; 4) focus on the social dimension of art, touching upon the heuristic value of the methods of applied sociological research; 5) characteristics of the capabilities of studying the symbolic nature of art in the context of culturology; 6) assessment of the development trends of the methodology of modern art history.

The material of the study is works of the tale researchers and works of the researchers of methods and models of scientific cognition. The research methods include the comparative-evolutionary historical principle of cognition in the model of the cultural-typical method of cognition in the CPL system with the recognition of the differences priority of differences and the similarities secondary role, the formation of psycho-semantics, deixis semantics of folk tales models, a comparative research of the ethnic tales and epics types. The results demonstrate thatthe deixis methodology allows us to perform a comparative analysis of the ethnic meaning of the folk tale. The forms of ethnic relative deixis are a formalization of subjects, objects, and the effectiveness of action in history, and relative assessments. Ethnic social deixis reveals the logic of the chronotope of social interactions and their social meaning, meliorative, admirative, pejorative, desiderative, inherent and adherent, and fear assessments. Ethnic nominative deixis is the formalization by linguistic means of roles in intuitional situations of life, recursion, and ethnic assessments. Ethnic indicative deixis reveals estimates of aspiration. Ethnic absolute deixis reveals absolute estimates of the ideal/final result of history.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article discusses interpretive epistemology in international relations (IR) and its advantages to address the field's sociological composition, its scholars’ identity, and knowledge structuration. The research proposes to engage in sociological reflexivity on IR methods and the way in which knowledge accumulation and structuration are driven by canonical assumptions of what are considered “normal”/“good” scientific procedures. The central argument focuses on interpretive epistemological approaches as possible venues for research to participate in the collective effort to address, and redress, the imbalance between the sociology of the field and its knowledge production and structuration processes. By allowing dialogue around meanings and interpretation among increasingly diverse members, an interpretive stance on IR opens the floor to criticism and rival interpretations. More specifically, the paper presents the methodology of interpretive phenomenological analysis as a method which both emphasizes context and actor specificity with regard to the subject of study and fully acknowledges the researcher's identity and voice in scientific inquiry.

Full textAbstract:
Some theologians have adopted ethnographic methods in their theological work. This innovation brings exciting possibilities to theological work for grasping local social situations and structures, although it also brings significant new challenges. As a sociologist who uses ethnographic methods and pays attention to theological orientations and their effects, I view the work of ethnography as a powerful methodology filled with both possibilities and perils. The newfound enthusiasm for ethnography among theologians may not yet adequately recognize the hazards involved in the use of qualitative research methods for generating valid empirical observations. Insights generated by participant observation are constantly at risk of imposition of personal presumptions and asserted “truths,” especially when researchers enter the field with strongly held convictions and compelling worldviews. In this paper, a distinction between “found theologies” and “imposed theologies” is offered as a heuristic for conversation in the hope of further substantiating a sound basis for future scholarship.

The article discusses the importance of travel practices in the structure of social relations between religious subjects in the field of involvement in interfaith relations. The results of a sociological study of travels to holy places are presented in a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodology, questionnaire survey and semiotic analysis of texts. A qualitative approach to the study of religiosity provides an in-depth interpretation of the religious practices pecularities. However, the quantitative representation is relevant to identify general trends in the formation of strategies of religious behaviour. The model combinatig qualitative and quantitative methods of studying tourist practices provides the possibility of their complex analysis. The experience of carried out sociological research shows how qualitative research data can clearly complement the structural characteristics of religious travel (quantitative indicators) with the features of the subjectivity of such travel. The study found: 1) a religious journey involves the implementation of everyday practices of reproduction of meanings and participation in intercultural interaction, as well as the implementation of sacred rituals; 2) a notable number of the religious population in Belarus has experience of religious travel, but pilgrimage is not a regular practice for a significant part of them; 3) the iconic pilgrimage structure is constructed in the virtual verbal texts of Belarusians involved in the daily practice of travelling to holy places. It is formed by several components of the meaning of the «path»: life, the spiritual path, search, cognition, communication, unity, collective emotions.

Full textAbstract:
The twentieth century was marked by a large number of various kinds of changes that affected almost all spheres of society. New phenomena began to appear in sociological science, the explanation of which caused difficulties and required sociological theory to rethink the methods and analytical models used by it. Among the factors that have had an active influence on the evolution of the network concept, first of all, we should include the development of transport infrastructure, telephone networks and the Internet. The concept of a network has been increasingly used to explain social phenomena. This approach in modern sociology is called "network", which, according to many researchers, is quite productive, as it has a high potential in solving existing problems and in forming a response to the emerging tasks of modern sociological science. It should be noted that in the domestic sociological tradition and in applied research, the possibilities of using the "network approach" remain poorly understood. Many Russian sociologists do not include this approach in the focus of their attention. This article presents a comparative theoretical analysis of the existing areas of the network approach. The main aspects of comparison are: the time and context of appearance, the main provisions, the methodology and methods of empirical research. Common features and differences between the analyzed areas are highlighted. At the end of the article, a conclusion is formulated about the autonomy of each of the designated areas. Based on this fact, it is assumed that the term "network approach" is used solely as a collective name for different theories and approaches that operate with the concept of a network in different senses.

Different approaches to definition of “reputation” concept and its presence in different disciplines’ discourse result in development of large number of reputation measurement approaches. The closest approaches to the sociological understanding of reputation are the RQ (CRQ) and RepTrak™ ones. These approaches were developed by western authors and have not been validated in the post-Soviet territory yet. The paper reviewed the verification of RepTrak™ methodology’s reliability and validity, and analyzed the terminological differences between the types of validity used by the authors of the methodology and their semantic counterparts, traditional for sociology. It is noted in the article that the developers of the methodology did not offer a unified model of corporate reputation; validation was carried out separately for two reputation constructs. The first construct confirms the connection between the emotional component of reputation and articulated willingness to act, the second — between the emotional and cognitive components of reputation. Using empirical data collected in Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan, the authors of the article reproduced the procedures and approaches used by the methodology developers for confirmation of the methodology’s reliability and validity. To this end, authors of the article used confirmatory factor analysis and built structural models that fully correspond to the models used by the developers of the model. The authors of the article compare the parameters of the models and their criteria of fitting to the empirical data. As a result of a comparison done for each reputational construct a conclusion about the possibility of using the emotional reputation index in all three countries was done. It was concluded also that it is possible to use a complete original methodology for reputation research in Ukraine and Russia and it is required to modify it for Kazakhstan.

In the article, abortion is presented as one of the indicators of the demographic transition, characterized by a low birth rate and mortality, a change in marital and family behavior, and the transformation of the composition of the population of modern Russian society. The practice of abortion is in the center of our attention and is considered in interaction with other social phenomena.The purpose of the study is to determine the factors influencing the practice of abortion in the current demographic situation. As the methodology of this research, the authors of the article use the analysis of the scientific literature of domestic scientists, the results of their own sociological research and the results of sociological research of VTSIOM.The authors identify socio-cultural, institutional, psychological factors that influence the practice of abortion. At the individual level, a woman's attitude to "unexpected pregnancy" plays an important role, the availability of opportunities for termination of pregnancy (formal and informal rules and regulations, legislative acts, public approval or condemnation), the perception of abortion as a social problem, forms of behavior of individuals participating in the practice of artificial termination of pregnancy. The novelty of the study is presented as an analysis of the factors that influenced the practice of abortion and the results of the author's sociological research. The analysis of scientific literature has shown that the traditions that have developed in a particular society, the level of development of the health and education system, as well as the specific situation in which a woman who decides to have an abortion finds herself are of great importance. The results of sociological research, official statistics show that formal and informal norms and rules, the development of pharmacology, the emergence of new methods of contraception, changes in basic institutions have an impact on the practice of abortion in the context of demographic transition.

Regulation of the level of employment through targeted programs is a current task of public administration, aimed at ensuring a sustainable social effect for the applicant in the form of employment. The purpose of the article is to identify objective and subjective factors influencing the final results of the project "Social workplaces". The research methodology is based on a sociological survey of 206 respondents one year after leaving the project. The results were processed by the method of structural modeling in the PLS-PM program. This method allows the evaluation of complex causal patterns with hidden variables that are significant but not observable. The results showed that the factors of an employee’s competitiveness influence their current labor contract two times stronger than the factors of the project. There is correctly selected interdependence of events revealed that the passive motivation of the participant at the start changes if the trajectory of participation. and is achieved in a sustainable social effect.

Thing. The statistical parameters used in the study and determination of indicators obtained during the dental study of workers of two industrial organizations are considered.
The goal is to evaluate the methods of statistical analysis used in the interpretation of indicators obtained during a dental study of employees of two industrial organizations.
Methodology. A comprehensive dental examination and a sociological survey of 370 employees of the SEZ “Alabuga” and 297 employees of JSC “Chemical Plant named after L.Ya. Karpova "(Mendeleevsk).
Statistical data collection, processing and analysis of the results were recorded on a personal computer in the spreadsheet environment of Microsoft Office Excel 2016. Statistical linear regression analysis of the data and interpretation of the results were performed using IBM computer software and SPSS software package (PASW Statistics 20).
Results. The materials presented in the article are based on the analysis and study of various methods of parametric and nonparametric statistical analysis. Moreover, the use of the discriminant analysis module of the STATISTICA system contains a large set of manipulations to perform multiple functional analysis, including the module of factor and cluster analysis. To analyze qualitative data, change frequencies, determine the significance of differences of one attribute from another, the chi-square criterion was used. Comparison of empirical (actual) and expected (theoretical) results was carried out using the agreement criterion (Pearson), the absence or presence of statistically significant differences ― using the value of the exact Fisher test, the presence or absence of a specific factor in a particular group ― using a statistical indicator of the odds ratio and confidence interval.
Conclusions. Thus, the data obtained make it possible to assess the degree of damage to hard tissues of teeth and periodontal tissues, and the effectiveness of dental care. The use of various statistical methods in the analysis of dental research data contributes to the modernization of the organization of dental care.

Statement of the problem. Smart technologies are gaining popularity in the educational process, especially after the start of the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of the article is to analyze in detail the specifics of smart technologies use in Chinese language classes for linguistic students. A review of the scientific literature showed that the problems of using smart technologies in the educational process are the subject of research by many Russian and international scientists (N.N. Vlasova, E.N. Kolpachkova, N.A. Somkina, M.A.A. Alsheikhidris, Li Z., etc.). Methodology. The materials of the study were Russian and foreign theoretical sources and the results of a sociological survey. Accordingly, the methods that were chosen for conducting this study are an analysis of theoretical sources and a sociological survey. Research results. The results of theoretical sources’ analysis have demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages of smart technologies in teaching Chinese. In addition, a blended learning model was presented, which combines the advantages of smart technologies and a traditional learning format. According to the sociological survey, smart technologies are the easiest way to learn Chinese grammar, hieroglyphics and reading. As for Chinese phonetics and speaking, these aspects are most difficult to study by students specializing in Linguistics. Conclusion. Conclusions drawn from the results of the article were summarized, as well as the authors’ contribution to the issues under consideration, which lies in the fact that the authors not only studied theoretical sources, but also developed and conducted a sociological survey, the results of which can be quite useful in teaching Chinese to linguistic students using smart technologies.

The solution of both theoretical and practical problems related to the legal support of integration processes determines the relevance of the search for appropriate methodological approaches to the study of this problem. Reference to the problems of methodology of studying the legal nature and law of integration of interstate associations is important, as there is still no uniformity in the theoretical interpretation and methods of research of legal integration. The purpose of this article is to consider the possibilities of application of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary (system) approaches to the study of certain problems related to the legal support of integration. The analysis of the chosen problems is based on the provisions of domestic and foreign scientific works devoted to the problems of the methodology of jurisprudence. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in the conditions of the global world complex objects of reality, which also include integration, can not be cognizable within one scientific discipline, which is a significant argument in favor of referring to interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and systemic methodology. The choice of the appropriate methodological approach to the study of integration depends on: the essence and characteristics of the object of study; the objectives of the study; the purpose of the study. No less important aspect in the study of integration is the appeal to the axiological aspects of integration processes, and therefore, the study of various aspects of regional economic integration, for example, cultural, sociological, psychological, aimed at the study of values and goals of integration, the state of society, the role of man in the integration process.
