| Аннотация | The article discusses theoretical foundations of understanding success, substantiates
methodological approaches to studying the successfulness of the 20th century individual, and discusses
findings of an exploratory research conducted by an international team of scientists. We consider it
important to study the social phenomenon such as “succesfulness of a modern individual” in the context
of their satisfaction with important aspects of life and work and from the perspective of a wide range of
socio-cultural, socio-psychological and demographic determinants. The study uses methods developed
in various fields of social and humanitarian science; the methods describe the phenomenon1 of success
in a meaningful way and identify its prevalence and manifestation features in different countries (in this
project – Russia, Poland and Belarus) and in specific groups within countries. An exploratory research
performed in this way has an interdisciplinary basis and relies on the synthesis of econometric (modeling,
correlation and regression analysis), sociological (questionnaire survey), and psychological (testing)
methods. The article presents findings of a pilot sociological survey and psychological testing of the
population of different cities of Russia (Vologda, Cherepovets, Petrozavodsk, Kolomna), Belarus (Minsk) and Poland (Lublin). The pilot stage of the comparative cross-country study involved empirical testing of
the selected tools in determining success factors in different linguistic, cultural and political environments,
searching for methodological approaches to the essence of the phenomenon under consideration, and the
operationalization of the concepts used. Successfulness2 has been studied in terms of self-esteem and
in relation to life satisfaction. The study covered main spheres and conditions of human life. We tested
relevant hypotheses that we had confirmed in the course of regional studies. The scientific significance
and novelty of the research lies in the exploratory nature of the project, an attempt to solve a scientific
problem by integrating knowledge and methods from various scientific fields. The findings of the study, its
conclusions and models can become the basis for the development of a full-fledged concept of “modern
successful individual”. |
