ADAPTATION PRACTICES AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE POPULATION OF NEW SUBJECTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN TERMS OF INTEGRATION INTO RUSSIAN SOCIETY

The purpose of the study is to determine the nature of adaptation practices based on the analysis of the subjective foundations of the social well-being of the population of new subjects of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the study is the sociological concept of adaptation, which makes it possible to analyze the adaptive aspect of any social ties and interactions. The choice of this theory allows us to study the issues related to the place and role of adaptive processes in the “internal structure” of the social system, and in its interaction with the outside world. We also consider   personal perception of the “vital integrity” of the surrounding world, based on beliefs and worldview principles and subjective assessments, from the point of view of the “internal experience” of the subject. The empirical basis of the study is a series of applied sociological research conducted on the basis of the developed strategy for measuring public-civil integration in 2023 and 2024.   The results of the study. We found out that in new subjects of the Russian Federation the process of adaptation is heterogeneous, there is a combination of negative and positive connotations expressing the socio-psychological aspect of the social well-being of the population/ It affects the assessment of changes in the region, the orientation towards the realization of material, social and symbolic needs, as well as the migration attitudes. A tendency to shift the emphasis from the institutional context of the reproduction of adaptation practices to the intrapersonal resources of a person has been revealed. It makes it possible to attribute the adaptation practices of the population of new regions to the stage of “mobilization of adaptive resources”, characterized by the activity, responsibility and subjectivity of individuals. Prospects of the study. The results of the study can be used in the sociological research of the processes of adaptation and the adaptation practices of the population; in the system of management of social and demographic processes, as well as in the work with young people in terms of ensuring the integration of Russian society.
