    Cultural models and belief systems: detection and quantitative assessment of the threshold of shared collective knowledge
    (2017) Maltseva, Kateryna
    Researching collectively shared belief systems is one of the central tasks of social science. The goal of this article is to outline the quantitative options available to researchers of cultural models and, more generally, those options that can be used for measuring sharing due to culture. I begin by laying out major characteristics of cultural models and stress their definitive features that can guide the researchers in their selection of fitting measurement techniques and analytic procedures. Then I briefly discuss the intellectual history of the cultural models theoretical framework relevant to the emergence of the existing methodological diversity in this research niche. I consequently consider the internal properties of cultural models and review the corresponding methodologies currently in use for their elicitation and ethnographic interpretation. I evaluate their respective advantages and comment on usefulness of various quantitative options (both as an end product and as a stage in more complex integrative designs) in research on shared collective knowledge.

    Gender-based discrimination in Ukrainian enterprises: comparison of the views of experts, top-managers, and personnel
    (2017) Kostiuchenko, Tetiana; Martsenyuk, Tamara; Shurenkova, Anastasiya
    The paper objective is to compare the perception of gender-based discrimination in Ukrainian enterprises from the perspectives of employers, employees and experts. The gender-based discrimination is analyzed in three dimensions: remuneration and workload, occurrence and acceptance of gender threatening situation that might happen in the enterprise, and overall evaluation of discrimination that is absent or present in the Ukrainian labour market. The empirical data provides the recent evidences of the prevalence of gender stereotypes, the horizontal and vertical segregation in the labour market in Ukraine, as well as some discrepancies in the perception of the discriminative practices among employers and employees.

    The structure of the Ukrainian musical taste: exploratory latent class analysis of Ukrainian musical preferences
    (2017) Domashchenko, Mariia
    This article is aimed at finding the latent structure of Ukrainian musical taste. Latent class analysis, likewise factor analysis, is a method which can be helpful to find the structure of a latent variable, such as taste, which stands behind patterns of responses to survey questions describing the preferences for some cultural goods, such as styles, genres, compositions, or performers. However, the biggest advantage of latent class analysis is that it can be applied to dichotomic and categorical variables. The article presents the findings of exploratory latent class analysis of musical preferences of Ukrainians. The results indicate there are three classes of musical taste in Ukraine: post-Soviet popular music taste, contemporary music taste, and omnivorous taste.
