PERCEIVED THREATS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TOWARDS RUSSIANS IN UKRAINE
Journal Title: Молодий вчений - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 54
Abstract
In this study I wanted to check the influence of the perceived threats and military affect on the emotions that are felt by Ukrainians towards the Russians who participate in the Donbass war zone. Test was constructed using the theories that link perceived intergroup threats and emotions that they elicit. The participants from the military and general population were asked to take the test in order to investigate the attitudes towards different groups. There were three versions of the test which included demographic questions, questions about the threat-perceptions and emotions experienced towards Russians; additionally, six criminal stories in order to see what types of punishments would be assigned to different ethnic groups. The last part of the test later proved to have validity problems and thus was not included into final analyses. Factor analyses on threat perceptions towards Russians revealed two different threats: individual and group threats. Significant predictors of the particular emotions in the sample were found. Individual threats and group threats significantly predicted the level of aggression; group threats significantly predicted the level of fear and envy and individual threats significantly predicted the level of disgust in the sample.
