Dynamical Cognitive Models of Social Issues in Russia

Abstract:

We examine and model dynamics in three areas of social cognition: (1) political transformation within Russia, 
(2) evaluation of political trends in other countries by Russians, and (3) evaluation of Russian stereotypes 
concerning women. We try to represent consciousness as vectorfields and trajectories in a cognitive state space. 
We use psychosemantic techniques that allow definition of the state space and the systematic construction of 
those vectorfields and trajectories and their portrait from research data. Then we construct models to fit them, 
using multiple regression methods to obtain linear differential equations. These dynamical models of social 
cognition fit the data quite well. (1) The political transformations were modeled by a spiral repellor in a 
two-dimensional space of a democratic-totalitarian factor and social depression-optimism factor. 
(2) The evaluation of alien political trends included a flow away from a saddle toward more stable 
and moderate political regimes in a 2D space, of democratic-totalitarian and unstable-stable cognitive 
dimensions. (3) The gender study showed expectations (attractors) for more liberated, emancipated roles 
for women in the future.
