Author(s)
V. Yu. Litvinov
Abstract
The article presents the results of the empirical study that analyzes the views of the young people from different Russian regions about Russian, Western, and Oriental civilizations. The study involved 755 people in eight federal districts of the Russian Federation. The method of psychosemantic scaling, which included 33 bipolar scales, has been used. The study has revealed differences in the views of young Russians about their own country, and Western and Oriental civilizations. Their view of Russia is largely intracultural, and are significantly different from those of Western and Oriental civilizations. Young Russians single out Russia as a separate civilization. According to the psychological distance index. They consider both Western and Oriental civilizations as “alien” ones, not fully corresponding to spiritual values of Russian youth.
