Project Description: The investigation of proces of stereotypisation
in Crimea.
May 1998-
December 1999
The person, carrying out his ability to live in the social
validity always estimates and expresses the attitude to the
validity as a whole, to the particular forms of this validity,
on which it is structured: moral, legal, economic, political
etc.
This attitude is expressed the person is mentality its products
(criteria of the estimation of a situation, value system orientations,
representations. Each person does not simply react to stimulus,
but builds up" the theory of the world " and human attitudes.
According to the principle of activity of perception the person
creates his own structure of a situation Consciousness contains
some cognitive models of ethnic situations on the basis of cultural
and national representations and subjective experience of the
members of society. As it was shown in the researches of Ò.À.Van
Deik, often negative characteristics of one of aspects of an
ethnic situation are transferred to the whole particular group
of the representatives of mino! rity. In a course a stereotypisation
the norms and estimations of behavior of other peoples, recipes
of actions and reactions are formed.
As working hypotheses we consider the following:
- The conflict between the Crimean Tatars and Slavic peoples
lies in their perception and estimation of the environmental
validity lay.
- These contradictions have cultural and national character
and are expressed in the values, representations and stereotypes.
- These cognitive structures can be revealed with the help
of special methods and the comparative analysis of them will
help to find the ways of overcoming of disagreements and conflicts
between the peoples of the Crimea.
Methods of work:
- Method of the focused interview.
- a) Testing with the help of a set of psychological techniques;
b) Sociological interrogation.
- Methods of mathematical statistics: correlative, factor,
cluster analysis, miscalculations of factors of the importance
of distinctions etc.
In the results of this project are interested Government of
Crimea, OSCE, OUN.
The results of the project will be use in writing the book
"The Interethnic relations in Crimea", in the publications in
a magazines, at the scientific seminars and conferences. The
results of the project will be use in working out of course
of ethnical psychology and in my doctor's dicertations.
I propose some results of my researchers. The basic tendencies
of interethnic relations between the slavs and Crimean tatars
in Crimea are reflected in processes a stereotypisation. They
are of negative character and are connected with denying at
other ethnos of the most highly estimated characteristics of
their ethnos. Interethnic relations lack sincerity and respect.
However the research has shown also the ways of improvement
of mutual relation. So, the Crimean tatars estimate adequately
such qualities of the slavs as wittiness, tactfulness, inquisitiveness
and boldness, and the slavs recognize high development of feeling
of selfvirtue at Crimean tatar. Besides, the representatives
of both ethnos estimate their people as easy and straightforward.
These positive stereotypes can help in establishing of better
mutual understanding, sincere communication between the peoples
of Crimea.
