Explain how multiculturalism has affected modern day Russia.

Explanation:The broader the ethnic diversity, the greater the level of tolerance to people from other cultures. Multiculturalism has a positive effect on societal development in Russian regions. This is evidenced by research into the relationship between heterogeneity and socio-psychological capital of personality, that was carried out by Leading Research Fellow at the International Scientific-Educational Laboratory for Socio-Cultural Research Alexander Tatarko. The report was presented at the XVI April International Academic Conference.

The socio-psychological capital of the personality is a new concept in contemporary social psychology, including indicators such as micro-social and macro-social trust, tolerance regarding cultural diversity, expressions of civic identity and social support from friends and relatives. Essentially, it forms the psychological basis of society’s social capital.

Research indicates that it is characterised by an inequal distribution in polycultural societies, Tatarko notes in his report, presented at the XVI April International Academic Conference on Economic and Social Development.

A state’s cultural diversity can have an impact on the socio-psychological capital of the personality, he argues. For Russia, as for any multi-ethnic state, this is a particularly acute issue. In order to better understand how ethnic diversity correlates to the socio-psychological capital of the personality, Alexander Tatarko carried out research into Russia’s regions. The results were published in a new monograph on The Socio-Psychological Capital of the Personality in a Polycultural Society (Tatarko, 2014), and in the upcoming preprint “Does Ethnic Diversity Affect Social Capital in the Russian Context?”

The basis for this research was a 2012 psychological survey and data from the latest census (2010). This survey was carried out in 25 districts of two Russian federal regions – the Central and North Caucasus, and involved 2,061 respondents.
