Introduction. The article reports the results of an analysis of the letters written by a peasant early in the XX century, found in the National Archives of Finland, which are a rare-type of historical source. Their author is a twenty-year-old peasant Anna Eremeeva-Räikha, who wrote them to her husband exiled to North Kazakhstan. The relevance of the study is defined by high interest to epistolary cultural heritage, where a special place is given to the letters of Russian’s different ethnic groups, and also by attention paid to the history of everyday life. Materials and Methods. The principal method was analysis of the structure of the letters, including identification of thematic block sequences and their subsequent clustering for the analysis of specific issues. Results and Discussion. The article explicates the substantive dimension of the letters, which reflects the sphere of interests of their author, and looks into the descriptions of women’s daily routines and the life of the Karelian family. It highlights the range of covered subjects and outlines the topics showing the routines and the behavioral practices of a peasant woman, her ways of adapting to the new circumstances after the husband’s arrest. The specific jobs and occupations are aligned with the farming calendar of northern Karelia. Features of the author’s self-presentation, ways of structuring and drawing up the texts are demonstrated. The study illustrates the range of topics and emotions rooted in the gender factor, and the diversity of their expression. Conclusion. The letters disclose the system of moral values of a Karelian woman, the Christian ideal of family relationships, special features of professional motivations. The “voice” of a Karelian peasant woman retained in these letters is a relevant source for studying the alteration of women’s everyday life early in the XX century and it allows talking about the maturing demand for emancipation in everyday life and gradual loosening of the traditional gender order in the Karelian village.

Дневники хирурга Зинаиды Сергеевны Седельниковой хранятся в Государственном архиве Волгоградской области в коллекции документов медицинских работников и являются редким архивным источником по истории женского нестоличного быта и повседневности. Автор очень бережно относилась к дневникам, которые вела с 1933 по 2004 год, разделив их на 179 тетрадей. Область наших научных интересов представляют дневниковые записи, сделанные в период с 1951 по 1969год (тетради № 35–85) и охватывающие события города Волгограда (Сталинграда). Основным содержанием дневниковых записей являются заметки с описанием повседневной жизни и окружающей обстановки, особое внимание уделяется эпизодам бытового характера: обеспечение продовольственными и непродовольственными товарами, жилищные условия, внутрисемейные отношения и досуговые занятия. Особенности дневника состоят не только в авторских записях, но и вложенных и вклеенных фотографиях, вырезках из газет и календарей, телеграмм, писем, театральных буклетов, билетов на мероприятия, лоскутков тканей и гербариев цветов. Благодаря наличию такого редкого источника личного происхождения, мы имеем возможность воссоздать картину повседневного быта нестоличного региона через призму женского восприятия. The State Archive of the Volgograd Region stores diaries of a surgeon Zinaida Sergeyevna Sedelnikova. The diaries are part of the collection of documents of healthcare workers and are a rare archival source that can shed light on the history of everyday life as viewed by women living far from the capital. The author of the diaries treated them with meticulous care and completed 179 notebooks, her first diary was written in 1933, her last diary was completed in 2004. Our research investigates diary entries written in 1951–1969 (notebooks 35–85) and describing events witnessed by the author in the city of Volgograd (Stalingrad). The analyzed diary entries focus on everyday life, they describe the environment in which the author lived and treat some daily routines: provision of food and non-food products, accommodation, family relationships, and leisure activities. The diaries do not only contain the authors’ memories, they also include numerous photographs, newspaper clippings and calendar sheets, telegrams, letters, theatre booklets, tickets for events, pieces of fabric, dried flowers. This unique and rare document enables us to clearly visualize everyday life and daily routines through the eyes of a woman living far from the capital.

Despite media headlines depicting the UK as a nation divided over Brexit, we know very little about how Brexit has affected personal relationships. This article addresses gaps in sociological understandings of Brexit and politics more generally by exploring how Brexit is experienced in everyday family relationships, focusing on how people orientate themselves towards discussing Brexit (or not) with their family and friends. Based on qualitative interviews, the article draws upon theories of relationality to explain the tenacity of family ties and to demonstrate how and why families ‘stick together’ despite often having different opinions about politics. It is argued that a conceptualisation of politics as relational is essential to understanding how they are experienced in everyday life.

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.

Direction Of Effects

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.

Affective Forecasts

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.

Low Expectations

Mental contrasting of a desired future with present reality leads to expectancy-dependent goal commitments, whereas focusing on the desired future only makes people commit to goals regardless of their high or low expectations for success. In the present brief intervention we randomly assigned middle-level managers (N = 52) to two conditions. Participants in one condition were taught to use mental contrasting regarding their everyday concerns, while participants in the other condition were taught to indulge. Two weeks later, participants in the mental-contrasting condition reported to have fared better in managing their time and decision making during everyday life than those in the indulging condition. By helping people to set expectancy-dependent goals, teaching the metacognitive strategy of mental contrasting can be a cost- and time-effective tool to help people manage the demands of their everyday life.
