Social Psychological Perspective

Terrorism, being a long-standing phenomenon and a threat that has existed for at least two millennia, is still an extreme problem in the life of society. Understanding how a person comes to commit terrorist acts requires consideration of the process of radicalisation. The aim of our literature review is to analyse the process of radicalisation.Security and counter-terrorism are one of the priority areas of scientific development in Russia. This direction has different facets of analysis. From a psychological point of view, the development of measures of influence should be based on knowledge of how a person joins groups and organizations of a terrorist nature, what are the psychological mechanisms of radicalization, as well as an understanding of the laws of deradicalization. Our analytical review within the framework of social psychological knowledge has allowed us to overcome a kind of gap existing in the literature, namely, to acquaint the Russian readers with a promising explanatory model of the process of radicalisation - the uncertainty — identity theory, proposed by Hogg. This model explains why and how people join groups with extremist and radical beliefs, as well as why they prefer acts of violence, acting on behalf of these groups.

A social-psychological perspective on the attitude of members in the Mangaung area towards church unification within the Dutch Reformed family of churches: a cross-cultural investigation Until recently, only one investigation had been conducted into church members’ attitudes towards church unification. This was done from a theological instead of a social-psychological point of view. The term “attitude” may be defined as the expression of inner feelings that reflect whether the person concerned has a favourable or unfavourable predisposition towards a certain object. Church unification entails the process of uniting separate church denominations within the Dutch Reformed Church family. The aims of this study were achieved by gathering data from respondents of six Dutch Reformed congregations (N=104; 46, 6%), as well as six Uniting Reformed congregations (N=47; 21, 1%). The remainder of the respondents came from five Dutch Reformed Church in Africa congregations (N=72; 32, 3%). A biographical questionnaire was used, as well as the Attitude towards Church Unification Scale. The influence of different variables such as language, gender, age, marital status and church activities on the attitudes of church members was investigated. It was concluded on the basis of statistical analysis that members of all the different denominations of the Dutch Reformed Churches had a positive attitude towards church unification. It was found that language was the variable that had the greatest influence on the attitude of church members.

Frank and Gilovich (1988) found that teams with black uniforms were penalized by referees more than other teams that did not wear black uniforms in the U.S. National Football League (NFL), and the U.S. National Hockey League (NHL). This finding was examined for the referees in the Turkish Premier Soccer League (TPSL) for the soccer teams wearing or not wearing black uniforms during actual games. 30 male referees' (ages 22–45 years, M = 34.8) decisions were analyzed in a total of 2,142 Turkish premier soccer league games played in 7 seasons. Using the number of red and yellow cards and penalty kicks teams drew as a penalty decision criteria, no significant differences were found between Turkish soccer teams wearing black uniforms or those not and the number of penalty kicks. This result, which was different from that of Frank and Gilovich's work, was discussed in relation to the social psychological point of view of different cultures and societies.

As a result of the global epidemiological reality, E-learning has become a necessity for advanced educational systems because universities are the backbone of scientific, economic, political and social development for all nations alike because they are a major source of minds, it is based on two main pillars, namely the teacher who is the foundation building block and the basic structure of the other pillar, which is the student who relies on his teacher in terms of his cognitive and scientific development in addition to psychological, educational and social guidance. As for the basic role that every student relies on, it is qualifying him to obtain the certificate, all of which is in the end in the interest of society, so a relationship is formed between the student and the teacher and the focus of which is the pedagogical interaction based on respect, care and exhortation to convey knowledge and abilities, whether by the student or the teacher. The current paper aims to formulate a vision for E-learning according to the perspective of training engineering planning (components, programs, financial capacity, implementation, follow-up, results and questionnaire) with pedagogical support based on the consistency of roles between the student and the teacher from the scientific and psychological point of view, and the psychological component is a fundamental factor in the success of Educational process. Key words: E-learning, Corona pandemic, Formation engineering, Pedagogy.

Normative Dimension

English The article considers the normative dimension of female gender stereotypes, underscoring the prescriptive and self-prescriptive power they contain. Particularly highlighted, from the social psychological point of view, is the recurring reproduction (even by women) of expectations of an intra-gender homogeneity based on a traditional female role. Emphasis is put on how this tendency to refuse to recognize intra-gender differences - often evident in job contexts - may contribute to conserving the power imbalances existing between men and women, and to sustaining women's systematic relegation to 'second place' in the workplace. As an example, the article contains some free quotations relating to the qualitative analysis made of women's discursive productions collected in a wider research project on the relation between gender and science. These aspects of stereotypic self- and other-perception - and the social expectations deriving from them - are also discussed in the light of the sociological approach to gender identity, and in their relations to practices and to ongoing social changes. French Cette contribution reprend la dimension normative des stéréotypes de genre féminin en soulignant le pouvoir normatif et auto-normatif qu'ils contiennent. D'un point de vue psychosocial, la reproduction constante d'attentes, même féminines, vers une homogénéité au sein des femmes, déclinée sur un rôle féminin traditionnel, est particulièrement mise en évidence. Il est souligné que cette tendance à méconnaître les différences au sein des femmes, souvent criante dans le contexte professionnel, peut contribuer à la conservation des déséquilibres de pouvoir existant entre hommes et femmes au travail en favorisant le classement continu des femmes à la 'deuxième place' dans les organisations. Quelques extraits de l'analyse qualitative effectuée sur les discours féminins relevés dans un projet de recherche plus ample sur la relation entre genre et science sont cités à titre d'exemple. Ces aspects d'auto- et hétéro-perception stéréotypique - et les attentes sociales qui en dérivent - sont également discutés à la lumière de l'approche sociologique de l'identité de genre, dans leur relation avec les pratiques et face aux changements sociaux en cours.

The aim of the article is to study the use of proverbs and their modifications on the Internet. The author combines her social psychological point of view with the ethnological research-based knowledge of proverb use. Former conclusions that were reached about the functions of proverb use in speech situations led the research to the discussion forums on the Internet. Commenting on ”the question of the day” in a Finnish newspaper turned out to be an ideal substratum for proverbs. The particular question of the day dealt with the break of Sofi Oksanen, the famous Finnish novelist, with her publishing house. The question was posed in a dichotomic way, and it clearly provoked the need to substantiate the answer. There were few facts available about the case in question, and the personal style of the author evoked strong feelings. The research data amounted to 344 comments. The base for proverb use was favourable, since proverbs were employed in 17 % of the comments. Texts were compared to and recognized with the Matti Kuusi international type system of proverbs. In all, there were 46 different proverb types and some phrasal expressions. A surprising result was that only a few modifications of proverbs were used.

Social Psychological Perspective

This chapter focuses on the changing brain of individuals living with dementia and the challenges produced by these changes. It is argued that to better understand what persons with changing brains can do as storytellers, together with other persons, it is necessary to add a social psychological perspective to more traditional psychological knowledge, which often is centered on a decontextualized individual and that person’s diseased brain. The chapter discusses the brain’s role in storytelling. Storytelling is a ubiquitous and important everyday activity, but also a very complex social activity taking many different resources into account; cognitive as well as semiotic resources are used, together with a host of emotional resources, to regulate social interaction. The focus is on the limitations of the clinical understanding of the effects of brain injuries and the theoretical concepts that are needed to understand how the brains of persons with dementia are affected.

Abstract Great diversity - racial and cultural as well as in terms of quality of life - in the United States forces versatility of electoral activities, pushing them to a certain level of generality, as specific, defined solutions may turn out too narrow for a broad electorate. In specific campaigns, psychological mechanisms become particularly important, especially those which in many ways provide a sense of closeness to the preferred candidate and build a relationship that leads to support and casting a vote in the elections. The present study focuses on three important - from a psychological point of view - issues, which are perfectly represented in the American elections - the narrative of the political image; communities created on the Internet thanks to management of specific electoral groups by politicians, and the presence of humor and satire in the campaign.

Actuality of the article’s topic based on post-non-classical processes of the becoming of contemporary scientific knowledge – stochastics, singularity, innovative, interdisciplinarity etc. The article’s aim is clarification of conceptual, historical-philosophical, methodological points of crossing of social philosophy and social psychology as two spheres of social-humanitarian knowledge. Conclusions. Showed, these two spheres are complexity researching systems, combined different – philosophical and psychological, axiological and ontological, gnoseological and world-outlook questions from the conceptual point of view. Understood, social psychology is directed on researching of two different classes – individual and overindividual phenomenon and social philosophy is directed on universal foundations of civilization existence and development of a society as a whole system through the human being and values of humanitarian priorities. In this contest, founded, social philosophy can make functions of metatheory in boundaries of a determined variant of social psychology, because of social philosophy can carry on reflective function regarding world-outlook foundations of social-psychological knowledge. Researched, from the historical-philosophical point of view on the non-classical period (from the second half of the 19th) we can observe difference of social-philosophical and social-psychological knowledge and on the post-non-classical period (from the second half of the 20th) we can see manifestations of conditions for the interdisciplinary dialogue. Understood, from the methodological point of view social philosophy and social psychology have the same ontological optics: contemporary world is open, plural, incomplete (famous K. Gödel’s principle), relative. That’s why from classical methods, based on fundamentalism and normativeness, these spheres are directed on researching of singular phenomenon, open systems, which have elements of uncertainty.
