Sociocultural Aspects of Gender Conflict in Radical Network Communities of Runet (Based on Field Research)

Актуальность рассматриваемой проблемы обусловлена необходимостью междисциплинарного осмысления набирающего популярность среди российской аудитории феномена - мизандрии и мизогинии, наиболее заметно представленного в виртуальном пространстве. Авторами было проведено эмпирическое исследование с использованием методов глубинного интервью и включенного наблюдения в сообществах радикальной гендерной направленности, которые брендированны как «Радфем» [1], «ФемКызлар» [2], «Мужское государство» [3], артикулирующих радикальные социокультурные и социально-политические концепты. Исследование проводилось с 2020 года по август 2021 года. На основании проведенного анализа, авторы приходят к выводу, что гендерный конфликт становится одним из наиболее распространенных видов виртуальной социальной агрессии. Его содержательная «повседневность» и эксплицитная коммуникативная форма, позволяют использовать данный вид социального конфликта как рамочную конструкцию для создания деструктивных идеологем, формирующих в количественно значимых демографических группах атмосферу неприятия и ксенофобии с целью повышения уровня социальной аномии в обществе, дискредитации традиционных культурных норм, нанесения морального и психологического урона различным социокультурным группам и их отдельным представителям. Данные особенности гендерного конфликта ставят перед научным сообществом серьезные исследовательские и практические задачи. The relevance of this problem is due to the need for an interdisciplinary understanding of the phenomenon of misandry and misogyny in the virtual space. The authors conducted their own empirical research using the methods of in-depth interviews and included observation in communities of radical gender orientation, which are branded as " Radfem" [1], "FemKyzlar" [2], "Men's State" [3], speaking with ultra-radical socio-political slogans. The study was conducted from 2020 to July 2021. Based on the analysis, the authors come to the conclusion that gender conflict is becoming one of the most common types of virtual aggression. Its meaningful "everyday life" and explicit communicative form allow us to use this type of social conflict as a framework for creating destructive ideologies, the formation of aggression and xenophobia in order to increase the level of social anomie in society, discredit traditional cultural norms, cause physical or moral and psychological damage to various social groups or individuals. These features of the gender conflict pose serious research and practical tasks for the scientific communities.

Status loss due to COVID-19, traditional masculinity, and the prediction of suicidal ideation and recent suicide attempts

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is causing extensive job loss leading to a loss of social status in many men. Endorsement of traditional masculinity ideology may render some men particularly sensitive to status loss and thereby to an increased risk for suicidality.Methods: In this anonymous online survey conducted in German-speaking European countries, 490 men completed questionnaires regarding loss of social status due to the pandemic, suicidal ideation and past-month suicide attempt. Furthermore, prototypical and male-typical externalizing depression symptoms, self-identified masculine gender orientation, endorsement of traditional masculinity, and gender role conflict were measured.Results: Out of a total of 490 men, 14.7% of men reported experiencing a status loss due to the pandemic. These men were more than twice as likely to report suicidal ideation during the past two weeks, and more than four times as likely to have attempted suicide in the past month than men not reporting a status loss. Depression symptoms, self-identified masculine gender orientation, endorsement of traditional masculinity, but not gender role conflict were positively associated with status loss. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were associated with prototypical and male-typical externalizing depression symptoms, but not masculinity- related constructs.Conclusion: Status loss emerges as risk factor for suicide and is associated with depression symptoms, higher masculine gender orientation and endorsement of traditional masculinity. Men with high levels of traditional masculinity and status loss due to the pandemic are at increased risk for suicide.

Behavioral Characteristics of Older Adults in Community Public Spaces: Gender and Aging in Dalian, China

As people age, the community gradually becomes the main place for their daily activities. In old residential communities in China, variations in behaviors and venue choices of older adults reflect gender differences. This study focuses on the behavioral gender differences in old residential communities and the characteristics of venue use under the influence of the unique policies and culture of China. Semistructured interviews, behavioral mapping, and photo recording were utilized for data collection. The results showed that gender differences were reflected in the variability of behaviors and venue use of older adults. These differences are due to people’s living habits and gender characteristics as well as the top–down development of feminism in China. This study highlights the important role played by policies and culture in behavioral differences and stresses that systematically environmental construction could be used as a balanced means to address gender differences in old residential communities. This study also suggests minimizing activities with a strong gender orientation, balancing the gender allocation of service staff for older adults, and emphasizing space flexibility and versatility could help achieve a gender-balanced community environment.

خواتین کا مساجدمیں آنا نصوص شرعیہ اور عصر حاضر کے تناظر میں

In Muslim society, the mosque is the focal point of all instructive and social exercises. The aggregate supplication of every one of the Muslims in the Mosque is viewed as an image of reliability. Meeting over and over is a watchman deed of general and uncommon relations. One of the significant errands of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was to fortify the pride and regard of a lady as a gender orientation through improving and reinforcing social considerations and qualities. The ladies assume a significant and indispensable part in the arrangement of Islamic culture. It is an exercise conveying the source that assuming it is remedied, an efficient and absolutely society can be framed. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) energized the ladies separated from partaking the aggregate petition with every one of the Muslims in a mosque to take part in the aggregate strict, instructive and social exercises. The ladies were offered the freedom to assume a dynamic part in different social exercises. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in his several sayings permitted to go to the mosque for congregational prayers. But along with this, there are some other sayings of the Prophet (ﷺ), which show that women are more likely to pray in some corner of their home. In present circumstances, the relationship of women has been completely diminished with the mosque. Women are an important part of society and it is very hazardous to isolate them from taking part in religious activities of the society. It is also urgent to strengthen women's role in the relationship with educational institutions like mosques and schools. When for the cause of getting an education the woman is coming out of the house and it is encouraged them to achieve education, but it looks unreasonable that they are discouraged to go to the mosque to say a prayer in congregation. When the state and society have made arrangements for their protection everywhere, then why it is not possible to manage women's protection in mosques to the prayer in congregation. It is the main theme on which this article is being written.

EMPIRICAL STUDIES OF MILITARY STUDENTS’ TOLERANCE TO STRESS IN OVERCOMING CRISIS, CONFLICTS, FRUSTRATIONS AND STRESSES

The article reveals military students’ psychological characteristics manifested at overcoming stresses, conflicts, frustrations and crises during vocational training. Young years is the most interesting and difficult period in a person’s life. An individual’s identification in society is formed at this age. An appearing mature personality determines life goals, values, gender orientation. Incomplete identification is characteristic for people with internal conflicts, which worsen interpersonal communications, contribute to frustration, aggravates an experienced crisis and make searches for meanings more intensive. Interconnections between a crisis, a conflict, a meaning and a stress have not yet been investigated in psychology to the full degree. The article studies the qualities that should be developed in youth in order to have high tolerance to stress in overcoming obstacles, crises, stresses and noogenic neuroses (lack of meaning). The article purpose: to study second-year military students’ tolerance to stress when they overcome stresses, frustrations, crises or conflicts. The article objective: to study empirically correlations among young men’ gender identity, their tolerance to stress and the peculiarities of their defence mechanisms, used strategies for conflict overcoming, readiness to overcome frustration and life-meaning crises. The applied methods and techniques: theoretical analysis; systems approach; Psychological Stress Measure (PSM-25) (Lemyre-Tiesser-Fillion); Life Style Index (R. Plutchik, H. Kellerman and H. Conte); L.B.Shneider's method of gender identity studying; K. V. Karpinsky’s questionnaire on life-meaning crises; Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument; Stevan Hobfoll’s questionnaire on coping with stressful situations; Boyko-Vasserman questionnaire on social frustration; correlation analysis. Research results. Military students’ tolerance to stress contributes to their “adaptation” (0.35) to educational and professional conditions. The reasons for “meaningful crisis” (-0.55), “frustration” (-0.5), “conflict avoidance” (-0.37) are unsuccessful strategies used by military students for stress overcoming. “Life-meaning crisis” (0.39) and “frustration” (0.39) encourage military students to “avoid conflicts”, thus “assertiveness” (self-confidence) and (-0.43) “support” (-0 , 29) decrease, students “leave” conflicts (0.60), resort to “manipulations” (0.39). “Rivalry” in a conflict encourages military students to “antisocial actions” (0.34). The “caution” strategy is used by military students who are inclined to “cooperation” (0.33). The “contact” strategy is opposed to the “compromise” strategy (-0.28) in a conflict. Conclusions. The signs of formed identity for military students are self-acceptance, existing life goals, values, and the absence of internal conflicts, and also the developed ability to overcome stresses, conflicts, frustrations, crises. All critical situations are interconnected. A crisis and a frustration are the most similar. To overcome them, military students need to be taught such technique as “support” and to develop “assertiveness” (self-confidence).

PARENTAL INFLUENCE ON A CHILD'S GENDER IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT IN LAURIE FRANKEL'S THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS IS

Social aspects, including parents, are likely to influence the development of gender identity. As parents' actions and behaviours convey meaning to their children, they contribute to the formation of the children's gender identity development. The present study aims to investigate the parental influence on the gender identity development of a child character named Claude in Laurie Frankel's This Is How It Always Is. This study is a literary criticism concerning the issue of gender identity development in a literary work viewed from a psychological approach. The data were collected from a novel entitled This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel and analyzed using the social cognitive theory of gender development by Bussey Bandura (1999). The results of the study revealed that his parents influence Claude's gender identity development through the process of modelling as a part of observational learning, which is also supported by parents' evaluative reactions such as rewards or punishments. The process of modelling reveals egalitarian gender roles and sexual orientation modelled and Claude's attention to his mother as an ideal female model, alongside with how parents convey affective reactions such as acceptance and approval on Claude's gender orientation.
