The purpose of this study is to study the research potential of the phenomenological approach in the social sciences, which emerged in the first half of the XX century as a critique of the dominant method of logical positivism at that time. The following scientific approaches and methods were used in the article: the method of analysis, description and comparison, as well as the phenomenological approach. The author has made an attempt to prove the significance of phenomenology in the social sciences by means of comparison as a way not only to describe facts, but also to explain motives and unobservable meanings. According to the results of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that the solution of urgent problems of society through the practical application of the acquired knowledge about society is possible only if the phenomenological method is actively applied in such a scientific and practical discipline as public administration. This will help to overcome the bureaucratization of the civil service, the isolation of the state administrative apparatus from real social problems, as well as to involve the population itself in the process of public administration, establishing feedback.

Research Types

The contribution to science by the academics of a country and the science-policy owned by the same country is accepted as the most basic indicator of the development in that country. The most important concept to be addressed in the advancement and transformation of science is scientific quality. The purpose of this study is to determine the views of academics regarding the reasons for the quality problems, especially in the social sciences field, and to share the solution suggestions for these problems by the academics. The phenomenological approach, which is one of the qualitative research types, was adopted as the method of the study to examine the views and experiences of the academics in a more detailed manner. Content analysis technique was used in the analysis of the data collected by the interview method. The findings of the study were categorized into two main themes based on the views of the academics, as the reasons for the qualitative publication problem, and the suggestions addressed for this problem. The reasons for the problem of qualitative publication are presented in six categories: the content of the publications, journal, academician, current structure, cultural context and political pressures.

Object Of Study

The transformation of Russian society provoked a new round of interest in the social sciences, including the growth of defined research on the formation of social identity, an important place in the structure which occupies a civic identity. The scientific article is devoted to research of problems of identity in terms of "existential crisis". The authors define the specifics of social and civic identity based on a phenomenological approach.

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
