The Psychological Dynamics of Radical Social Change: A Longitudinal Analysis of Employed and Unemployed Ukrainian Men and Women

这是一项关于正在经历激进社会变革的社会中人们的心理动态的研究，分析了来自乌克兰的纵向数据。这些数据包括对该国城市劳动力中具有代表性的男女进行的面对面访谈，这些抽样最初是在1992-1993年进行的，然后在1996年春夏期间再次进行了访谈。最初的调查是对波兰和乌克兰城市地区成年人口的代表性样本进行的，旨在了解在东欧和前苏联当时正在经历激进的社会变革的情况下，波兰(当时是社会主义国家)、美国和日本的早期研究中发现的社会结构和人格之间的关系是否仍然在波兰获得，并在乌克兰获得。到1992年，波兰的社会结构与幸福感或忧郁感之间的关系已经发生了戏剧性的变化。当时，乌克兰似乎也在经历着大致相同的过程，但情况并非如此。这项研究中的乌克兰合作者对1992-1993年间在劳动力大军中的受访者进行了一项全面的跟踪调查，即每周工作15个小时或更多，或者失业并正在寻找工作。这些数据将使我们有可能对从乌克兰经济转型到转型初期的激进社会变化的心理动态进行全面的纵向分析。乌克兰是一个有趣的例子，不仅是因为它是前苏联人口第二多的国家，还因为在波兰观察到的变化可能正在以不同的速度发生，可能会在乌克兰产生不同的结果。

This is a study of the psychological dynamics of people in a society undergoing radical social change, analyzing longitudinal data from Ukraine. The data consist of face-to-face interviews conducted with a representative sample of men and women in the urban labor force of that country, initially surveyed in 1992-1993, then re-interviewed during the spring and summer of 1996. The initial survey, conducted with representative samples of the adult populations of the urban areas of Poland and Ukraine, was designed to learn whether the relationships between social structure and personality found in earlier studies of Poland (when it was socialist), the United States, and Japan still obtained in Poland, and obtained in Ukraine, under the conditions of radical social change then being experienced in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. By 1992, a dramatic change had already taken place in Poland in the relationship between social structure and a sense of well-being or distress. Much the same process appeared to be underway in Ukraine at that time, but was not nearly so far along. The Ukrainian collaborators in this research conducted a full-scale follow-up survey of those respondents who in 1992-1993 were in the labor force, i.e., were either employed 15 or more hours per week or were unemployed and seeking employment. These data will make it possible to do a thoroughgoing longitudinal analysis of the psychological dynamics of radical social change from an early period of the transformation of the Ukrainian economy well into that transformation. Ukraine is an interesting case not merely because it is the second most populous fragment of the former Soviet Union, but also because the changes observed in Poland may be occurring at a different pace and possibly with different outcomes in Ukraine.
