This survey extends the SNF-funded nccr – on the move sub-project (205605) “Attitudes towards migration and democracy in times of crises” to Ukrainian context.
A quantitative survey is conducted in Ukrainian language among a sample of students specializing in Psychology, Law and Economics at O. Honchar Dnipro National University and Alfred Nobel University. Data is collected using an online questionnaire (Qualtrics) with approval of Ethics Commission of University of Lausanne.
In this research we explore students` views on current timely topics of debate in Ukrainian society focusing on democracy related attitudes and solidarity. More specifically, the research aims to examine how attitudes and solidarity relate to national identity, values, institutional trust, different facets of patriotism, civil liberties, religiosity, contacts with and perception of difficulties of externally displaced migrants. Moreover, we will elaborate theoretical and empirical explanations of identity and affect (compassion, anger, shame, fear, disgust, indifference) to explain contextual factors which emerge in conditions of intertwined crises.
Besides collecting data, we invite our respondents to open lectures, seminars and workshops provided by the research team. Our aim is to offer theoretical and practical insights on social psychology concepts and topics which are not enough present in Ukrainian academic curriculum. Moreover, respondents will be able to ask questions about the ongoing research and other topics of their interest. Thus, by interacting with the researchers respondents can enrich their knowledge in Social Psychology and Democracy related topics.
