Abstract

The study presented the analysis and assessment of the impact of socio-political factors on the level of social well-being of the country’s population (on the example of the Russian Federation). The authors highlighted the key indicators that are studied both independently and as part of integral indices. Thus, such variables as the level of social justice, national pride, indices of trust in government, public and individual indices of protest activity were of special interest, as well as the phenomena of social apathy and adaptation reflecting the activity aspect of the social well-being of the population. The authors used a comprehensive methodological apparatus, which included general scientific and private scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, classification, systematization in the study of approaches to the consideration of components of social well-being; comparative discursive analysis of its determinants based on the works of Russian and foreign scientists, mathematical, statistical and secondary analysis of open data obtained in the course of previously conducted research on the stated problem. Analysis and assessment of the dynamics of socio-political indicators of social well-being revealed average indicators, which indicates the adaptation of the population to the current socio-political situation. The obtained results can be used by sociologists, economists, and political scientists in the development of conceptual provisions of social policy and social management, as well as for further scientific research.
