SOCIAL DIAGNOSTICS
A.L. Andreev Russia's Place in the World: Europe or Eurasia
ANDREEV Andrey Leonidovich — Doctor of Philosophy, Chief Researcher at the Institute of Sociology RAS. E-mail: sympathy_06@mail.ru
The article describes how Russians view Russia's place in the world and particularly in Europe. The publication is based on polling data and considers the dynamics of the attitudes of Russians toward Europe since mid-1990-s. The image of Europe in Russian consciousness depends on value settings and archetypes rooted in Russian mentality as well as pragmatic estimations of the relations between Russia and the leading countries of Europe. Thus, the motivation of the European countries in questions related to the cooperation with Russia seems to be selfish for the majority of Russians (they think Europeans are interested in Russian nature resources only). The author reports the increasing interest of Russians in the East and analyses the consequent process of erosion of European identity. The author also puts attention to the level of participation of different groups of people in the fields of culture and information in Europe.
Key words: Russia, Europe, Eurasia, place of Russia in the world, European Union, West, East, NATO, national mentality, Russian identity, westernism, eurasianism, culture and
information space

Rational and Irrational Aspects of Social Trust
GRISHIN Vladimir Valerievich — Ph.D. in Psychology, Director of VCIOM-Ural Branch
The author examines the process of formation of trust between people, and particularly trust in political leaders which people are voting for. There is a common view that Russians are emotional people and make their choice on emotional basis rather than rational. The author proves this is not right. When choosing political leaders Russians create certain logical constructions based upon common ideas and views about the desirable society state structure.
Key words: trust, political leadership, trust in politicians, state structure

E.A. Borisenko Parental Discipline Strategies in Single-Parent Families
BORISENKO Elena Alekseevna - student at the Faculty of Sociology, Russian State University. E-mail: solnce-za-nas@yandex.ru
The publication is based on the author's studies conducted in Moscow in 2008-2009 and considers discipline parental practices in single-parent families. “Parental style” and “parental practices” are among the key characteristics of family and parent-child relationship. The discipline strategies in single-parent families were supposed to be different from that of complete family by the lack of physical punishment. The findings show that deviation of the quantitative parameters of the family is differently related to the quality of parent-child relationship; the financial, social and psychological problems that a sole mother faces have impact on the internal relations within a family and on parental style. In a single-parent family the conception of parent-child relationship imply that the level of trust and proximity of a child to mother defines the child's character, behavior and discipline practices that mother applies to her child. The dominant parental style in a single-parent family is authoritative.
Key words: discipline practices - discipline strategies - parental practices - parental styles - single-parent family - socialization-punishment-incentive.
