Multiple Interactions

The article discusses the specificity of criminals’ perceptions of social space. It is shown that social space is considered derivative of multiple interactions of a person with the social environment. The elements of social space are people and groups, with which the personality interacts. An individual’s idea of social space is formed by summarizing the characteristics of interaction. The study examines three types of characteristics of the representation of social space: (1) representation of the co-participation of other people (i.e. properties of social space), (2) self-assessment of interaction with other people, (3) representation of the ability to manage the interaction with the surrounding people. A hypothesis is formulated about the differences in criminals’ perceptions of these characteristics. The hypothesis is tested empirically. The research is conducted by measuring the perceptions of criminals and law-abiding citizens about social space. The method of data collection is self-reporting. Comparison of the perceptions is performed by Kruskal – Wallis one-way analysis of variance The research sample consists of two groups: a) criminals, 210 people convicted of committing violent crimes; b) law-abiding citizens, 210 people who did not commit a crime. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis about the specificity of criminals’ ideas about the characteristics of social space. It was found that social space is viewed by criminals as insensitive and difficult, reducing their self-esteem (devaluing), as well as uncontrollable and unmanageable. The results are confirmed in alternative studies of violent offenders. The conclusion is made about the prospects of research on the perceptions of social space as a resource for the prevention of criminal acts.

Abstract Background: The social environment, including social support, social burden, and quality of interactions, influences a range of health outcomes, including mental health. Passive audio data collection on mobile phones (e.g., episodic recording of the auditory environment without requiring any active input from the phone user) enables new opportunities to understand the social environment. We evaluated the use of passive audio collection on mobile phones as a window onto the relationship between the social environment within a study of mental health among adolescent mothers in Nepal.Methods: We enrolled 23 adolescent mothers who first participated in qualitative interviews to describe their social support and identify sounds potentially associated with that support. Then episodic recordings were collected for two weeks from the same women using an app to capture 30 seconds of audio every 15 minutes from 4am to 9pm. Audio data were processed and classified using a pretrained model. Each classification category was accompanied by a predicted accuracy score. Manual validation of the machine-predicted speech and non-speech categories (10%) was done for accuracy.Results: In qualitative interviews, mothers described a range of positive and negative social interactions and the sounds that accompanied these. Potential positive sounds included adult speech and laughter, baby babbling and laughter, and sounds from baby toys. Sounds characterizing negative stimuli included yelling, crying, screaming by adults and crying by babies. Sounds associated with social isolation included silence and TV or radio noises. Speech comprised of 43% of all passively recorded audio clips (n=7725). Manual validation showed a 23% false positive rate and 62% false-negative rate for speech, demonstrating potential underestimation of speech exposure. Other common sounds included music and vehicular noises.Conclusions: Passively capturing audio has the potential to improve understanding of the social environment. However, the limited accuracy of the pre-trained model used in this study did not adequately distinguish between positive and negative social interactions. To improve the contribution of passive audio collection to understanding the social environment, future work should improve the accuracy of audio categorization, code for constellations of sounds, and combine audio with other smartphone data collection such as location and activity.

Purpose of the study: To investigate the sociological dimension of social space structuring under the influence of territorial movements in the era of globalization based on the example of modern Russia. As the methodology for the study, the synthesis of E. Giddens’ theory was structured, its provisions on the topography of social space in the geographical plane. The paradigm of structuralist constructivism of P. Bourdieu was used as well, in which it was relevant for us to analyze habitus as a socio-geographical environment for the formation of institutional strategies of agents of social relationship. Factors that contribute to and hinder the adaptation of personality in the new social environment, were examined based on works by O. Toffler, U. Beck, V.I. Chuprov and Yu.A. Zubok. To determine the mechanism of the genesis and functioning of meanings in the new communicative environment, the authors relied on N. Luman's approach to self-identification and self-conference. In the process of analyzing the nature of trust in the institutional order in the context of globalization, the authors used works by A.V. Ivanov and S.A. Danilova who analyze the mechanisms of formation. The empirical basis for the article was a sociological study conducted on the basis of the Sociological Center of Kutafin Moscow State Law University.The article reveals the features of personality identification in a dynamic environment of interethnic and cross-cultural interactions, structured under the influence of territorial factors. The degree of conformity of the scale, the nature and depth of self-identification in various territorial planes of the social space are determined by the example of modern Russian society. Factors of social integration in the process of the formation of territorial identity both at the institutional level and in everyday life when constructing informal social ties are disclosed. The restrictions of social identification in the regions of Russia are found that prevent the formation of civic identity and responsibility for the reproduction of the social order. The values that determine social integration in cross-cultural interaction are revealed. The results of the study make a significant contribution to the development of methods for determining the causes of the genesis of separatist sentiments and the conditions for designing constructive social participation in various regions. The article is relevant for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as lecturers, involved in the problems of the sociological study of globalization, social space and group identity. The work uses an integral methodology for measuring social processes from the perspective of the subject of action, constructing strategies in the new social environment, and from the perspective of a system that ensures the reproduction of the institutional order.

The paper discusses the empirical study of the fea-tures of self-esteem and self-attitude in girls with different components of the psychological gender. The author notes that the ongoing changes in mas-culine and feminine stereotypes in the conscious-ness of modern society entail changes in the struc-ture of psychological gender. It is shown that girls with masculine traits have high self-esteem and self- respect, while they are quite self-critical and show low self-interest, which is reflected in such emotion-al reactions to themselves as irritation and disa-greement. Girls with androgynous traits typical of an adequate level of self-esteem, expressed in accord with their inner promptings, accepting yourself as you are, as well as the interest in your own thoughts and feelings, which increase the adaptive capacity of a person.

The present research aimed to identify and compare playfulness levels of individuals aged 10-14 years engaging in individual and team sports. The sample consisted of 356 participants. We employed a correlational design and used the “Playfulness Scale for 10-14-years-old Children” developed by Hazar as the data collection tool. In data analysis, we utilized descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T-test, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Tukey HSD and LSD tests for within-group comparisons. We computed the internal consistency coefficient of the scale to be .84. The results suggested that all participants showed high playfulness levels (97.26 ± 16.02) and got the highest scores on the “Social Adaptation” sub-scale (40.50 ± 6.67) while obtaining the lowest scores on the “Game Passion” sub-scale (21.02 ± 7.00). Overall, we determined that the participants significantly differed in playfulness by age and branch, but it was not the case by gender.

The journey approach for data collection may enable the novice researcher to reflect on their data collection processes, and it aims to point to potential creative solutions that can help create a coherent study deeply rooted in its social environment. Fieldwork becomes a part of the project, rather than an isolated element that needs to be done. Through this approach, even a novice researcher can demonstrate connected insights that are not only relevant to the study itself but also the subject of study. A creative, multi-layered approach to resources and created opportunities may help increase the feasibility of a study by reacting to and interacting with the social context of the field. This chapter reflects on the author's data collection progress during her PhD program and invites readers to discover actionable steps that can be used to overcome the inertia due to inability to secure access to a field site.

Self-esteem is central to personal education. The social environment directly affects the formation of self-esteem. While functioning, it affects human behavior, self-regulation and is influenced by the values of the individual. Self-esteem is a complex education that includes both intellectual and emotional components. Many experts believe that self-esteem is not only a person's assessment of himself, but also his place among the people around him. Accordingly, it affects the relationship of a person with others, the effectiveness of his activities and the further development of the personality.
