Monitoring group's political attitudes among students RSUCE was conducted in November - December 2012, as a continuation of the long-term research. Primary data were collected by means of the questionnaire survey conducted by the method of semantic differential. Osgud's classical questions are put in a basis of the questionnaire. Students were offered to estimate the relation to four types of political orders. Two real, local and Central orders. And two ideal orders: the perfect positive political order that the Respondent satisfied in all respects, and the perfect negative, completely not arranging the respondent. According to the obtained data the average semantic portraits characterizing group perception of two real and two ideal political orders were constructed. Group emotional perception was estimated according to the degree of closeness images of real orders to the images of the corresponding ideal constructs in the space of the primary signs and in the space of the identified factors. Linear approximation according to which level of emotional perception is proportional to half-difference of relative distances from an image of a real order to images of negative and positive orders respectively was used. It is received that for the end of 2012 the students RSUCE perceived both local and central political orders negatively, with levels of emotional perception rloc=-0,26 and rCentr=-0,39. The estimation of the confidence of these results was carried out. It was equal 0,8.

This paper focuses on defining the elements forming the political tension - on the emotional component of a group of political attitude. Baseline data were obtained by questionnaire. All were interviewed 66 patients. Respondents were asked to rate 20 attributes-antonyms two "ideal", positive and negative political orders. And two real order: in Region and in Russia as a whole. It is shown that the investigated audience is characterized by low political activity, and the activity of the emotional perception of the existing orders of magnitude higher than the perception of ideal constructs. An unexpected result of a negative perception of the political order in Russia in a whole, the local order in due permanent stressful situation for the given audience. People normally (or neutral) treat policy which always acts them through region policy. And of the troubles accuse (probably unconsciously) change of a political system which associates at them with center policy.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the political tensions among the population in relation to the political process. Respondents were asked to rate a five-point scale: the level of their involvement in the political processes occurring, the degree of their emotional involvement in the political process, whether in the family to talk about politics, the level of their economic well-being, level of social protection and perspectives on life in a whole. The questionnaire included questions of religiousness level, and also the general questions characterizing the respondent (a sex, age, a nationality, level education). This paper focuses on the analysis of the cognitive component of group policy settings. The data of the cognitive and emotional component identifies: the people being in a stressful situation in the troubles are inclined to blame a general political system for Russia, instead of regional structures. The group of respondents in a critical situation was alienated. Presence of a hopelessness, isolation on the problems does people by the most passive in occurring political life. Therefore, there is a neutral and indifferent to your local and regional political organizations. Average indicators of levels of economic welfare, social security and prospects on the future talk about the stability and steady average level of assessments. Thus, this indicates a low level of deprivation study audience.

Results of the flight research spent in April - among students of RSUCE are brought May, 2012. The Main objective of research - definition of the emotional relation of students to local and central political orders. Primary data are received by questioning on a method of semantic differential. By the received results semantic portraits of four types of political usages (two ideal constructions and two above-stated real orders), relative distances in semantic space between images of these usages are defined. That has allowed to calculate levels of emotional perception of local and central political usages in linear approach.

  The paper presents an analysis of the data obtained as a result of questioning students RGSU in late 2011. The purpose of this study is to measure the level of political tension among the youth after the events of December 2011. 168 young people taken part in this research (men - 53% women - 47%). Age of the respondents - 17 to 19 years. The questionnaire included a subjective assessment of the following levels: participation in the political process, emotional involvement in these processes; comments of these processes, and economic prosperity, social security, life prospects. Revealed a low level of involvement of young people to the political process - 1.40 on average value. The level of emotional involvement in the political process - 2.15. The stable level of comments political processes in the family - 2.17. Received, the average level of economic prosperity and level of social security of students: 2.44 and 2.24. Assessment of life prospects is at a high level - 3.03. It is revealed, values of average all studied parameters at women are higher, than at men. Least a difference in an assessment of level of participation in political processes – 0,1. More differs the assessment of level of social security, the difference makes – 0,69. Thus, level of a relative deprivation among studied audience is low, and if will tension arise in student's group, first of all among men.

The paper presents the results of research level of perception a political order among students of Grozny (GGNI) at the beginning of 2012. The questioning method was used. In total 320 respondents were interviewed, and captured the age group from 17 years to 20 years. On national structure the group was almost uniform (95,9% - Chechens). The main purpose of questioning - the definition of the emotional component of the group political installation on the classical method of semantic differential Charles Osgood. A comparative analysis was carried out of the averaged semantic level of emotional portraits and making real political order. It is revealed, the image of an order is in the Republic 45% closer to positive "ideal" construct in comparison with image of an order in Russia as a whole. It is received, by the beginning of 2012 perception level considerably decreased to normal value (in comparison with "incredibly positive" 2011). Thus small excess of perception of a political order in the Republic remained.

  Results of the flight research spent in student's RBSU environment in December, 2011 are presented. The method of semantic differential is put in a basis of questioning. Respondents were offered to estimate four types of a political order by using of 20 double modal seven-ball scales. Two "ideal" orders are as much as possible attractive order and as much as possible unattractive one. And two real orders are the political order existing in Rostov region and a political order in Russia as a whole. The estimation was spent in linear approach, and also in frameworks the early developed phenomenological model considering typical nonlinearity, which is probable for a considered case. It is received, that in the end of 2011 students were characterized by negative perception as political order in area (with level -0.7, a level was normalized from +1 to-1), so an order in Russia in whole (with level -0.77). Surfaces of the stationary states, allowing to detail dynamics of change of perception level are calculated. Comparative dynamics of behaviour of emotional perception level of real political orders from the end 2009 on the end 2011 is presented.

Researches based on results of the questioning, conducted in late 2010 - early 2011 among the students of Rostov-on-Don (RSCU), Vladikavkaz (GTU) and Grozny (GGNI). Results were interviewed about 500 people (58.4% - 40.6% of men and - women). 33.3% of respondents represented Rostov-on-Don, 40.4% - the city of Grozny and 26.4% - the city of Vladikavkaz. The questionnaire consisted of questions focused at identifying the subjective opinions on own relation of respondents to a political order, and also questions opening level of a group relative deprivation. The received results of a cognitive component were processed by a method of the statistical analysis. It is revealed, during the studied period there is a low level of participation of the young people to political processes with the average level of an involvement at Rostov-on-Don. In Grozny there are average and high levels of participation of the young people to political processes in the Republic, and also high level of an emotional involvement. Analysis the block of relative deprivation showed the youth of Rostov-on-Don and Vladikavkaz is more subject to a political tension, the least possible tension in the city of Grozny. It is revealed, at Rostov-on-Don there is a process of political alienation. The students of Vladikavkaz associate an assessment of the level of a political tension with local political order, instead of with Russia as a whole. Shown, in general, the level of relative deprivation at the end of 2011 is average.

The paper presents the results of the pilot study of perception of the political order of Rostov-on-Don on the end of 2011. The questioning method was used. In total 499 respondents were interviewed, and captured the age group from 18 years to 65 years. The purpose of questioning - the definition of the emotional component of the group political installation on the classical method of semantic differential Charles Osgood. A comparative analysis was carried out of the averaged semantic level of emotional portraits and making real political order. It is revealed the existing political order in Russia in general and the city of Rostov-on-Don, respondents were almost equally perceived negatively. It is shown the generalized probability perception of an order in Rostov-on-Don and in Russia will change at change of external conditions: at improvement of a situation will slowly increase, at situation deterioration the probability acceptance of an order will quicker decrease, up to zero and negative value.
