Abstract
Cognitive model of the civil-legal attitudes’ structure of the population of the Rostov region
Incoming article date: 28.11.2019Civil-legal attitudes of the population determine the degree of its participation in the socio-political processes of society development. The aim of this work is to create a cognitive model that reflects the structure of civil-legal attitudes of the population of the Rostov region, depending on the socio-demographic (age) differences. The object of the study is the civil- legal attitudes in the consciousness of the population of the Rostov region, differentiated by age (youth, the population of economically active age, the older generation). The subject research field includes certain aspects of the structures of civil-legal attitudes of the population of the Rostov region, depending on the belonging to different socio-demographic groups of the population. The methodological basis for the development and research of the considered substantive models is a system analysis in combination with a cognitive approach. In the framework of the study, the cognitive model of civil-legal attitudes of residents of the Rostov region, allowed to identify three components, the degree of severity of each of which has an age determination. To the greatest extent, age differentiation affects the value-semantic, normative and situational components of the cognitive model, which indicates an increasing mental distance between the strata of the older and younger generation of representatives of the Don region. At the same time, there are practically no generational imbalances in the institutional component, which characterizes the role of the state in the formation of the legal and civil field.
