Abstract
The initial point in the article is the statement that in the last two years, changes in the environment of Russians, caused by new and rapidly occurring socially significant events, acquire the character of bifurcation. Based on the position of the concept of L. V. Korel on the essential differences of social adaptation in bifurcation and evolutionary environments by generalizing the results of representative empirical studies, the verification of the leading role of latent adaptive resources and subjective attitudes during adaptation to bifurcation conditions was obtained and the role of risk readiness as a social attitude and adaptive resource was substantiated.
Based on the analysis of data from the RLMS-HSE, the hypothesis about the differences between high and low subjective assessment of risk readiness in terms of attitude to risk; experience of interaction with risks; verbal choice of the mechanism and strategy of adaptation to them; adaptive resources.
Two groups have been identified in the Russian population that are homogeneous in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, but diametrically opposed in terms of the attitude of “readiness for risk”: with high- and low-risk readiness. The differences between these groups in the experience of interacting with risks, the propensity to choose adaptation mechanism and strategy in the bifurcation environment, and in their adaptive potentials are recorded. The vulnerability of a group with lowrisk readiness to depletion of adaptive resources and reduction of adaptive capabilities in bifurcation conditions is substantiated and proposals for the development of its adaptive potential are developed.
Keywords:
risk readiness, bifurcation environment, adaptation, resources
