Social Infrastructure and the Alleviation of Loneliness in Europe
In Europe, individualist societies, in which people more highly value independence, have fewer people who are lonely. Yet these societies also have more people who live alone, a strong determinant of loneliness. Evidence suggests that some unrecognized societal-level resources or characteristics can explain this. We uncover multiple pathways toward a lower degree of loneliness among European societies using an ideal method for this purpose, fuzzy…
Post-socialist moral economies of consumption as socially embedded sites of moral tension
Consumption was one of the spheres of everyday life shaken and remoulded by the collapse of socialist regimes at the end of the 20th century. Especially in times of rapid change, a moral economies lens is a fruitful means to understand the contentious moral landscape and moral tensions that pervade consumption behaviour, norms and discourse. Important areas of consideration in post-socialist societies in this field include links between ideology …
Loneliness in Europe: Personal and Societal Individualism-Collectivism and Their Connection to Social Isolation
This article explains perceived loneliness among people in Europe by accounting for cultural factors as well as social isolation. Culturally, it measures the impact of both personal and societal individualism-collectivism on loneliness. It accounts for social isolation by looking at the separate effects of living alone, emotional isolation, and relational isolation. Using a 2014 European Social Survey sample comprising 36,760 individuals in 21 co…
Modernization, formal social control, and anomie: A 45-society multilevel analysis
This article investigates how economic modernization affects normative regulation by spurring formal social control in the political, economic, and private spheres as well as anomie. Multilevel negative binomial regression modeling, using World Values Survey and country-level data from 2005, predicts individual-level anomie using country-level formal-social-control indicators as well as individual-level controls. Such control variables include ed…
Post-Soviet Intimacies: An Introduction
Receiving Gifts for Sex in Moscow, Kyiv, and Minsk: A Compensated Dating Survey
The Capitalist Personality: Face-to-Face Sociality and Economic Change in the Post-Communist World
Modern capitalism favors values that undermine our face-to-face bonds with friends and family members. Focusing on the post-communist world, and comparing it to more "developed" societies, this book reveals the mixed effects of capitalist culture on interpersonal relationships. While most observers blame the egoism and asocial behavior found in new free-market societies on their communist pasts, this work shows how relationships are also threaten…
Love as a Fictitious Commodity: Gift-for-Sex Barters as Contractual Carriers of Intimacy
Commodification of Intimacy within the Post-Soviet Space: A Case of Compensated Dating in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus
The paper presents a study of the motivation for childbearing in contemporary Russia.Grounded theory techniques were used in the research; 80 biographical interviews were collected.The author gives an explication of «responsibility» as a category used by the respondents to conceptualize childbearing.It is institutions of health care that keep «responsibility» in the discoursive practices and direct reproductive motivation
Adaptation as ‘selling out’? Capitalism and the commodification of values in post-communist Russia and Eastern Germany
The Lost Years: Assessing Family Change in St. Petersburg, Russia, between 1983 and 2003
Considering reports that Stalin-era repression suffocated Russian family life and that the late Soviet rule in the l980's precipitated the "demoralization" of Russian society, observers might expect that the end of Soviet socialism could only strengthen families. As a first step toward piecing together the fate of Russian intimate relationships in this volatile period, respondents (n=l20) from St. Petersburg were asked in the summer of 2003 to ra…
