The article is dedicated to the investigation of anhedonia within the Ukrainian context. It identifies social psychological determinants of this phenomenon on the individual and collective levels: development of the syndrome of victimization in the historical cultural sphere, cognitive dissonance under the condition of peace and war, politicization of the information communication space, media stress, and pop psychology. The paper determines the paradoxes of the Ukrainian anhedonia, including social hyperactivity of people suffering from this phenomenon, the domination of negativism in media and informal communication, transformation of individual symptoms of anhedonia into the social form. The author offers the following social ways of correcting the problem: reforms of mass media, intensification of psychological diagnosis and rehabilitation services, and development of the psychological correction of the actualization potential of practical philosophy.

Spectator Attendance

It is argued that the social forces of urbanization, individualism, interpersonal competition, technology, and geographical mobility have brought greater and greater numbers of strangers into people's everyday lives and have made the achievement of primary, social ties with relatives, friends, neighbors, and workmates more difficult. As a result, many are forced to satisfy their needs for sociability in less personal, less intimate, less private ways. It is proposed that sports spectating has emerged as a major urban structure where spectators come together not only to be entertained but to enrich their social psychological lives through the sociable, quasi-intimate relationships available. The changing nature of the sociability experience in America presents sport managers with interesting challenges and opportunities. A number of recommendations are offered for maximizing the gemeinschaft possibilities of sports spectating facilities. By giving greater attention to the individual and communal possibilities of their events, sport managers can increase spectator attendance while rendering an important public service.

Applied Sport Psychology

Psychological processes in sport are inextricably linked to the social contexts within which they occur. However, research and practice in applied sport psychology have shown only marginal concern for the social dimensions of participation. As a consequence of stronger ties to clinical and counseling psychology than to social psychology, the prevailing model of intervention in applied sport psychology has been individually centered. Focus at the individual level has been further bolstered by cognitive emphases in modem psychology. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the need for a balanced consideration of social and personal influences. Four social psychological dimensions of interest will be explored, including athletic subculture membership; athletic identity concerns; social networks of influence; and leadership processes. The relevance of these forms of influence will be examined in relation to applied concerns in the areas of athlete academic performance, overtraining and burnout, and disordered eating patterns. At minimum, consultants need to address contextual and relational correlates of psychological and performance issues.

The Relationship

This study examined the mediating effects of peer status on the relationship between Intellectual Achievement Responsibility and the academic performance of 79 sixth grade students in an open-space school. When peer status was specified, a negative association was noted between achievement responsibility and academic ability for students of high status, but a positive one for students of low status. No association between achievement responsibility and ability was observed for students with medium peer status. Operation of internal achievement motivation may be influenced by the social psychological environment of the individual.

It is contended that perceptions of groups are affected by particular variables that do not apply to individuals (e.g., intragroup similarity and proximity). Importantly, the perception of outgroup threat has incomplete analogs at the individual level. Results from 3 studies support predictable distinctions between representations of individuals and of groups. Study I showed that priming of the word they produces more extreme negative judgments of the protagonist(s) in a story about 4 individuals acting jointly than in the same story with a single person acting alone. The opposite result holds for priming with the word he. Study 2, with Korean participants, demonstrates that actions by individuals or groups elicit differing preferences for redress. Individual responses (e.g., getting mad) to an individual racial insult (e.g., a snub by a waitress) are preferred to collective responses (e.g., circulating a petition), whereas the reverse preferences holdfor a group insult (e.g., taunts from a gang of White youths). In Study 3, cues to the entitivity of a group are introduced. This concept, introduced by Donald Campbell (1958), distinguishes different degrees of “groupness. ” Visual depictions of collections of unfamiliar humanoid creatures (greebles) were used to convey that they were either similar or dissimilar and either proximate or scattered. Results confirm the expectation that similarity and proximity-two entitive conditions-elicit more negative judgments of the group. Attention to other cues for entitivity may enrich social psychological views of stereotyping and prejudice by focusing on perceptions of groups as coordinated actors with the potential to bring about negative consequences. Such experiments point to the needfor greater research focus on the vastly understudied but fundamental problem of the social cognition of group behavior.

The article considers the essence and approaches to understanding network political protest. Traditional forms of collective action are changing under the influence of information and communication technologies. The network paradigm focuses on the position of the individual in the social space, the degree of his involvement in the communication space, the ability to control and regulate the intensity of the information flow. Network structures are more flexible and adaptive, more in line with the new reality. Special and main principles of the network structure of political protest are revealed. The article also presents definitions of political mobilization and demobilization. These processes Express the rivalry of the conflicting parties-the state and society, where the support of the broad masses of the population is an important category. Based on the data of the monitoring study, the features of the development of civil protest activism and the use of mobilization technologies were identified. ICTs have a significant impact on their formation and transformation. The state, reacting to forms of real and virtual activity, formulates a counteraction strategy. It is expressed in the use of technologies for the demobilization of citizens, which are also undergoing changes in the era of digitalization

Our social norms and moral values shape our beliefs about the propriety of different types of market exchanges. This review considers social and moral influences on beliefs about property and the consequences of these beliefs for the legal regulation of property. The focus is mainly on empirical evidence from social psychology, with additions from related areas like cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and other social sciences. After briefly reviewing empirical findings on perceptions of property at the level of the individual person, I examine how social relationships shape perceptions about ownership and exchange of property, as well as the boundaries of the broad category of property. Finally, I explore one important type of socially embedded property—the home—and how social psychological conceptions of property as embedded in social relationships have clashed with the development of the legal doctrine of eminent domain.

The article shows that children in boarding institutions are generally characterized by limited possibilities of social, psychological and physical health, a significant reduction in indicators of specific and non-specific resistance to different settings that affect the formation of social experience of graduates during their life and professional self-determination. These submissions indicate that the formation of the social experience of senior residential care tailored to the psychosomatic health should be based on a set of focused consistent action of psycho-pedagogical and medico-social nature, aimed at enhancing the adaptive capacity of the individual (psychological stability, physical readiness, communicative behavior, moral and normative indicators of socialization) and providing self-determination of students.

This work analyses the relation between social inequality and health by focusing on the social processes and individual mechanisms that construct it within the area of action of the economic sphere, the cultural sphere and the social and territorial sphere. Within this framework, the body is conceived as a link between the physical, biological and material dimensions and the social, relational and emotional dimensions. At the same time, the proposal is to go beyond the well-known relationship between economic resources/social position and levels of health/life expectation, concentrating on the specific social and psychological dynamics generated by the availability of socio-economic capital. The over-simplified perspective of the social gradient of health is overtaken by an analysis of the relational dimension of the individual and his/her reference groups, and finally by appraising both the individual and collective aspects that can be traced to the social and political context and to the different welfare systems.

Nowadays the Ukrainian crisis society directs man to the creative realization of the individual, but at the same time does not provide specific resources for it. At the present stage of the development of philosophy in the era of the global, social and spiritual crisis, it is becoming important the formation of a new ideological paradigm of a marginal personality that requires research in the field of philosophy and cultural studies. New models of life, moral values, and different worldview emerge through marginality, that’s why the phenomenon of margin is always relevant. The marginal personality is important for any society at all stages of its development and in various forms of its manifestation. The social contradictions are compounded by the growing scale of margin in the society. They form the basis for the deployment of global crises, which consequences are unpredictable from the standpoint of modern science. Perhaps, marginality is a condition, which produces the changes of the social and cultural sphere. The article doesn`t emphasize the nature of these changes, but it should be taken into account both inner (at the level of the value core) and outer; both positive, promoting the development, and negative, leading to the destruction. The accent is made on the activity oriented nature of the marginality, which is able to provoke changes and force a subject to innovations. The marginality has also a certain demonstrative (indicative) character. If the essence and increase of the marginal entities in the social and cultural sphere are captured, we can prove the inevitable changes, the acceleration of the social dynamic. That`s why the marginality is able to provoke social and cultural changes but also be an indicator of the social and cultural sphere state. The above defined updates the socio-philosophical analysis of the peculiarities of margin in the context of globalization, determinants and mechanisms of social transit of the marginalized communities into the integrated socio-cultural space.
