Changing Societies & Personalities is an international, peer-reviewed journal, founded in 2016 and published quarterly in English.
Founder and publisher: Ural Federal University (Yekaterinburg, Russia).
Editor-in-Chief: Dr. Elena A. Stepanova
CS&P examines how rapid societal-level changes are reshaping individual-level beliefs, motivations and values — and how these individual-level changes in turn are reshaping societies. The interplay of personality traits and sociocultural factors in defining motivation, deliberation, action and reflection of individuals requires a combination of theoretical and empirical knowledge. Since an interdisciplinary approach is needed to understand the causes and consequences of the contemporary world’s changing socio-political institutions, moral values, and religious beliefs, the journal welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions from a wide range of perspectives in the context of value pluralism and social heterogeneity of (post)modern society.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Value implications of interactions between socio-political transformations and personal self-identity,
- Changes in value orientations, materialist and post-materialist values,
- Moral reasoning and behavior,
- Variability and continuity in the election of styles of moral regime and/or religious identity,
- The moral bases of political preferences and their elimination,
- Social exclusion and inclusion,
- Post-secular religious individualism,
- Tolerance and merely ‘tolerating’: their meanings, varieties and fundamental bases,
- Ideologies of gender and age as variables in political, moral, religious and social change,
- Educational strategies as training for specific social competences,
- Social and existential security.
The journal publishes original research articles, forum discussions, review articles and book reviews.
