On the basis of literature, mass media and archival sources, the impact of political repression of the 1930s of the 20th century on personal relations among civil servants and the intelligentsia of Ukraine is highlighted. It is noted that the authorities deliberately, through political repression and insidious actions distorted personal relations among people in order to prevent their unity aiming to withstand the existing regime. The result was distortion of personal relations of people, decrease in mutual trust, sincerity, growth of deceit and hypocrisy. The author emphasizes that even the fundamental relations of all mankind, like family ones, were subjected to distort. An issue for further research is identified.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.
