Socio-political Peculiarities and Quality of Life Evaluation Among Ethnic
The paper presents the results of a theoretical and an empirical study of socio-political attitudes. The study was conducted on a sample of representatives of the Russian and the Kazakh ethnic groups (Saratov oblast, N = 60). Applying a complex of psychological and pedagogical methods, such as a questionnaire developed by the author of the study and the Level of Social Frustratedness instrument (L. I. Vasserman, B. V. Iovlev, M. A. Berebin), the study explores socio-political attitudes in different ethnic groups. It is revealed that there are similarities in how they evaluate the political situation; differences are identified in how acutely they experience ethnic conflicts (Russians) and in the lack of friendliness (Kazakhs). Social frustration on the scale of «socio-economic status», which is directly linked to events happening in their country, was also observed in the groups. This study’s applied aspect is that it can be implemented in counselling practice of psychological services.
