🔗Исторические и современные предикторы региональных культурных различий в индивидуализме и коллективизме в России
Андрей А. Григорьев, Альбина А. Галлямова, Дмитрий С. Григорьев, Джон У. Берри
В данном исследовании, основанном на экокультурном подходе, изучаются исторические и современные факторы, предсказывающие региональные культурные различия в соотношении индивидуализма (далее – ИНД) и коллективизма (далее – КОЛ, а для соотношения: ИНД/КОЛ) в России, с акцентом на частную собственность на землю в конце XIX – начале XX века и современную занятость в сельском хозяйстве. Анализ показывает, что регионы с более высокой
распространенностью частной собственности на землю в 1877 г. и 1905 г. демонстрируют более выраженные тенденции ИНД в современных региональных границах, что свидетельствует о преемственности культурных черт. Кроме того, современные факторы, такие как доля рабочей силы в сельском хозяйстве и этнический состав, в частности доля этнических русских,
оказываются значимыми предикторами различий ИНД/КОЛ. Однако урбанизация не обнаруживает значимой связи с региональными культурными различиями в ИНД/КОЛ, что указывает на то, что, хотя она может быть связана с ИНД, она не является основным предиктором.
Результаты подчеркивают, что факторы, коренящиеся в традиционных типах хозяйства, вызывают глубокие и долгосрочные последствия для региональных культурных различий, сохраняясь даже в условиях масштабных общественных преобразований, произошедших в советское время.
