Protest Activity

The article provides the results of a search empirical study of the impact of digital communications on the protest behavior of young people in the digital environment. The authors conducted the study on the basis of the State University of Management from November 2019 to April 2020. In the course of its implementation, the civil and political practices of student youth during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and mass self-isolation were studied and updated. The paper determines the most common forms of protest activity of university students, names the main reasons for their participation or non-participation in mass protest actions. It has been empirically proven that the increase in protest behavior of young people is determined by an increase in the amount of political information with a high number of likes and reposts. In order to deactivate protest moods among young people, reduce the threats of their protest behavior and improve attitudes towards the authorities, the authors developed practical recommendations that involve social monitoring of sites, forums, pages and communities on the Internet, where young people can freely express their opinions, express dissatisfaction, and receive explanations about the actions of the authorities. The study also recommends to stimulate “feedback” with the authorities, improve public opinion on the actions or inaction of the authorities, increase the influence of citizens’ assessments on the work of state and municipal authorities. The paper states the importance of tracking youth groups prone to extremism, carrying out preventive measures with students in schools, students in colleges and universities, teaching them legal literacy. To get answers to questions about the political and economic consequences awaiting our country after the end of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as about the essence of the predicted threats, the authors plan the study on a more representative sample.

The Impact

The article substantiates the introduction of the “life model” construct as a fragment of life scenario in a specific area of human life and describes the development of tools for its study. The results of a study on life models of relationships in young people (on a sample of 100 students of St. Petersburg State University, the average age of 21 ± 1.1 years) are presented by the following parameters: the need for creating a family and maintaining close relationships; understanding the nature of relationships in a future family (distribution of responsibility and power); commitment to family life space in comparison with the students' perceptions of their parents’ life models. The paper characterises the impact of parental family on the individual’s life scenarios. It shows that the consistency of life models reveals itself in the young people’s desire to reproduce their parents’ model of emotional intimacy in relationships, provided that they evaluate the relationships in their families as successful; no such consistency was found in the professional sphere. Finally, five types of life models in the young people are described, emphasizing the leading role of closeness/distance with parental family in their content, which confirms the fundamental importance of the respondents' orientation towards close relationships with their parental family.

The Impact

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has changed the lives of young people all around the world drastically. Because young people’s future orientations are shaped by current experiences, COVID-19 and its social and economic consequences may impact young people’s future orientations. This study explored whether and how COVID-19 has affected young people’s future orientations by means of interviews with 71 Dutch young people with different sociodemographic backgrounds (37 before and 34 during the first months of COVID-19). Results revealed that young people felt COVID-19 had hardly any impact on their future orientations. In line with this, young people’s future orientations before and during COVID-19 were similar and hardly any of the participants mentioned COVID-19 spontaneously during the interview. A few young people indicated that they experienced some impact of COVID-19 on their current lives, short-term futures, or on the societal future in general. Young people’s idea that COVID-19 is temporary, the disconnect between the general future and their personal futures, and their flexible attitudes may partly explain why they did not feel their futures would be affected by COVID-19.

The main problem of the research is to determine the scale, direction and effectiveness of the impact of digitalization on the formation of professional culture among Russian youth. This influence is studied in the context of the intensification of information flows in social media, the development of new formats and network communication channels, the maturation of "generation Z" whose socialization and professionalization takes place mainly online. The authors raise questions consisting in identifying the relationship of the role of socio-cultural and digital environments in the formation of professional culture of Russian youth; comparing the importance of traditional and digital communication channels used by young Russians in their professionalization; establishing the specifics of professional and socio-cultural adaptation in the conditions of intensive development of digital technologies; identifying constructive and destructive effects of digitalization in the process of assimilation of values, norms, strategies of professional behavior; analyzing formal and informal digital space of professional self-determination and development among Russia’s youth. The design of the study is based on a hybrid strategy of empirical analysis combining (1) a mass survey in the form of online survey on the most important channels for Russian youth, online content formats and search technologies, the content of the most popular online resources related to vocational education and self-education; (2) an expert interview which provides data on the state, trends, prospects of the impact of education digitalization on the formation of youth professional culture, the destructive impact of the digital environment on the professionalization among young people, and the anti-destructive immunities; and (3) a hall-test which allows to identify the level of Russian youth ability to differentiate digital products, to assess their adequacy, completeness, objectivity, and social significance. The key result of the study is the segmentation of Russian youth into the so-called "idealists", "pragmatists" and "traditionalists". The typology establishes the relationship between professional, value attitudes, online behavior strategies, as well as socio-demographic characteristics. A focus on conscious professional choice, active, voluntary and progressive professionalization ("idealists" and "pragmatists") is associated with active professional Internet communication, an ability to manage network interaction risks. On the contrary, rigidity and constraints in professional choice strategy ("traditionalists") correlate with the fragmentary nature of professional Internet communication and a lack of established anti-destructive immunities. Specific characteristics of professional, civil, socio-cultural adaptation of Russian young people and their network communications determine the nature of the anti-destructive immunities in digital environment.

The research work is performed as part of the 2018 state task conducted by the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation and titled “The impact of modern digital communications on the formation of professional culture among young people” (NIR no.42).

Age At Exposure

Abstract. Background: We investigated the age at exposure to parental suicide and the risk of subsequent suicide completion in young people. The impact of parental and offspring sex was also examined. Method: Using a cohort study design, we linked Taiwan's Birth Registry (1978–1997) with Taiwan's Death Registry (1985–2009) and identified 40,249 children who had experienced maternal suicide (n = 14,431), paternal suicide (n = 26,887), or the suicide of both parents (n = 281). Each exposed child was matched to 10 children of the same sex and birth year whose parents were still alive. This yielded a total of 398,081 children for our non-exposed cohort. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the suicide risk of the exposed and non-exposed groups. Results: Compared with the non-exposed group, offspring who were exposed to parental suicide were 3.91 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.10–4.92 more likely to die by suicide after adjusting for baseline characteristics. The risk of suicide seemed to be lower in older male offspring (HR = 3.94, 95% CI = 2.57–6.06), but higher in older female offspring (HR = 5.30, 95% CI = 3.05–9.22). Stratified analyses based on parental sex revealed similar patterns as the combined analysis. Limitations: As only register-­based data were used, we were not able to explore the impact of variables not contained in the data set, such as the role of mental illness. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a prominent elevation in the risk of suicide among offspring who lost their parents to suicide. The risk elevation differed according to the sex of the afflicted offspring as well as to their age at exposure.

Levels Of Support

Existing research has consistently shown that perceptions of the potential economic consequences of Scottish independence are vital to levels of support for constitutional change. This paper attempts to investigate the mechanism by which expectations of the economic consequences of independence are formed. A hypothesised causal micro-level mechanism is tested that relates constitutional preferences to the existing skill investments of the individual. Evidence is presented that larger skill investments are associated with a greater likelihood of perceiving economic threats from independence. Additionally, greater perceived threat results in lower support for independence. The impact of uncertainty on both positive and negative economic expectations is also examined. While uncertainty has little effect on negative expectations, it significantly reduces the likelihood of those with positive expectations supporting independence. Overall, it appears that a general economy-wide threat is most significant, and it is conjectured that this stems a lack of information on macroeconomic governance credentials.

The Impact

COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented disruption of normal social relationships and activities, which are so important during the teen years and young adulthood, and to education and economic activity worldwide. The impact of this on young people’s mental health and future prospects may affect their need for support and services, and the speed of the nation’s social recovery afterwards. This study focused on the unique challenges facing young people at different points during adolescent development, which spans from the onset of puberty until the mid-twenties. Although this is an immensely challenging time and there is a potential risk for long term trauma, adolescence can be a period of opportunity, where the teenagers’ brain enjoys greater capacity for change. Hence, the focus on young people is key for designing age-specific interventions and public policies, which can offer new strategies for instilling resilience, emotional regulation, and self-control. In fact, adolescents might be assisted to not only cope, but excel, in spite of the challenges imposed by this pandemic. Our work will feed into the larger societal response that utilizes the discoveries about adolescence in the way we raise, teach, and treat young people during this time of crisis. Wave 1 data has already been collected from 2,002 young people aged 13-24, measuring their mental health (anxiety, depression, trauma), family functioning, social networks, and resilience, and social risk-taking at the time of the pandemic. Here we present a preliminary report of our findings, (Report 1). Data collected 21/4/20- 29/4/20 - a month after the lockdown started).
