We have two final objectives: 1) To offer a new effective research technology based on a system of open-ended questions for complicate sociological area; 2) To offer its key module a computer system DISCANT for storing empirical data and analyzing them by effective methods of machine examination of texts. We present a special type of qualitative-quantitative research, namely, full-scale Reflective Integrated Research Technology based on open-ended questions (RIRT). Our mission and tasks are to show the effectiveness of the developed resources, their high social, cognitive, technological and humanistic features to pay attention to the lack of such resources in the investigative field of sociology, to identify the causes of this poor situation and, creating an attractive format, make proper efforts to change the cognitive situation. Finally, to transform our devel...

A separate section of the work is devoted to the study of the grant support system of NPIs in Russia. Systemic and private problems have been identified. Conclusions are drawn about imperfections of the emerging system of interaction between the State and NCBs, including in the area of project financing; and also about the need to create conditions for the replication of successful pilot projects of individual NCBs on the territory of the whole of Russia.

The goal of the study is to substantiate the heuristic potential of mixed methods research to identify effective approaches to managing the faculty in modern conditions.The study describes iterative data analysis within the framework of a mixed strategy:1) standard quantitative analysis; 2) quantitative triangulation, including the use of several methods, such as the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA); 3) standard qualitative analysis; 4) mixed triangulation, which ultimately led to a synergistic effect.The research results lie in different ways, including methodological and content related. The methodological results include the identification of the special heuristic potential of mixed methods during exploratory research; in the substantive part, a situation of social maladjustment of faculty was diagnosed in the context of developing “academic capitalism”, when the a...

Life values, value orientations, social attitudes, and other corresponding social collisions have been the object of many studies. Among them a substantial number have been done by sociologists in this country; for example, the Scientific Research Institute for Comprehensive Social Research at St. Petersburg State University conducted a survey in fourteen cities of Russia in 1997 [1]; I.A. Surina and K.R. Gaisanov studied the values of young people in college, in 1999 [2]; V.V. Gavriliuk and N.A. Trikoz surveyed school students in Tiumen in 2002 [3]; a nationwide survey of young
