Item Cognitive dimension of culture and social axioms: using methods of multidimensional analysis to research Ukrainian cultural beliefs about success and inequality(2022) Maltseva, KaterynaThe significance of cultural factors in the context of surveying cognitive processes, perception, emotions and mental health has long been acknowledged by social scientists. Shared collective belief systems represent one of the long established research foci in the social sciences. Presently studying the large cultural dimensions in their connections to individual predispositions and behavior is one of the core interests in cultural psychology as well as cognitively-oriented anthropology and sociology. To explore the patterned collective agreement in belief systems quantitatively, data reduction techniques is the strategy used most often and most successfully. The present study is premised on the principles of culture consensus model and uses cultural models framework to explain how Ukrainians view success and understand its prerequisites. The analysis is anchored in the cognitive dimension of the Ukrainian cultural worldview, specifically in the intersubjectively shared cultural assumptions (social axioms) regarding the opportunities for social advancement and their unequal distribution across different social groups. Based on the ISSP 2019 data set (N = 2001), the present study sought to uncover the content and organization of social axiomatic beliefs the Ukrainians have regarding the social characteristics facilitating self-advancement within a group, as well the degree of sharedness and homogeneity of these beliefs and their demographic correlates in the sample. The results converge on the four-factorial structure partitioning the "ingredients of success" into the categories of structural attributes, social capital, family background and individual agency.Item Theoretical assumptions of cultural consonance model. In: Українська соціологія у ХХІ столітті. Теорія, методи, результати досліджень, С. 167-177(Харківський національний університет імені В. Н. Каразіна, 2018-12) Maltseva, KaterynaThe relationship between social status, stress and health has generated a wide literature in social sciences. Its extensive coverage includes empirical research on social gradient in health, as well as the impact of social comparison, relative deprivation, discrimination and social stress on health status. Building on these explorations, recently there has been much interest in the mechanism underlying the social gradient in health (the negative relationship between morbidity/mortality and socioeconomic status). It is one of the points of investigation in biomedical research at the moment. The present article offers an overview of one of the most successful theoretical frameworks in biomedical research on interactions between society and health – cultural consonance model. Formulated by William Dressler as a result of two decades of empirical research on health disparities in the United States and Brazil, cultural consonance offers insight into the relationship between individual’s inability to live up to a societal standard in their behavior or lifestyle, and negative health outcomes. In the present publication the intellectual roots, up-to-date key findings and current directions in cultural consonance research are discussed.
