Цель исследования-выявление характерных особенностей фактического имиджа Республики Мордовия, исходя из результатов опроса экспертов (представителей государственной власти и управления региона, научных и образовательных центров, социокультурных учреждений, СМИ и др.), а также на основании анализа статистических показателей территории, событийной составляющей и т.д., влияющих на формирование имиджа региона. Научная новизна заключается в рассмотрении имиджа Республики Мордовия в тесной взаимосвязи с философской категорией восприятия его разными целевыми аудиториями, в частности респондентамиэкспертами, а также в выявлении его актуальных показателей. В результате доказано, что республиканский имидж находится в состоянии перехода от простого уровня к базовому. Высокие оценки территория получает в позициях, значимых для внешних целевых аудиторий (прежде всего туристов). Для населения региона важен показатель качества жизни населения, который имеет средние экспертные оценки и усугубляется реальным уровнем доходов населения, покупательской способностью и др., что способствует усилению противоречивости между первичным и вторичным имиджем, а также приводит к снижению релевантности имиджевых направлений, продвигаемых региональной властью.

The article presents the initial results of applying a multidimensional methodology to the sociological measurement of the level of Russian identity. The multidimensional approach to measuring the level of Russian identity was constructed based on a five-component model of in-group identification developed by K. Leach and colleagues. This methodology allows for the quantitative measurement of the degree of formation of components such as cohesion (psychological connection with other members of the community), emotional satisfaction with belonging to the community, salience (the significance of belonging to a particular community in the structure of a person's self-concept or "I-concept"), self-stereotyping (conviction of one's similarity to other members of the same community), and homogeneity (perception of the community as a whole). The empirical basis of the study was the data from a survey of residents of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) conducted in 2021-2022, ...
