THE CASE STUDY OF VALUE SYSTEM IN A POST-WAR SOCIETY Naira Hakobyan
This article presents the results of a case study of the value system in a post-war society. Case study is based on the concept of overcoming post-war anomie. The participants in the study were a group of veterans of the second Nagorno-Karabakh war, as well as people who did not participate in active military operations. The results of the case study indicate a stronger manifestation of anomie among veterans. According to these results, the structure of the methodological program is formed which is aimed at overcoming the essential psychological features of post-war anomie. The results of this study are of scientific interest for identifying similar problems associated with overcoming anomie in post-conflict and post-war societies, and therefore can be useful for specialists in the fields of psychology, sociology and cultural studies striving to diagnose and solve post-war socio-psychological dilemmas among the population.
The results of a socio-psychological study of the value system emphasize the main trends in the modern sense and perception of post-war anomie. In particular, among the war participants, the availability of work and an adequate level of communication were called as the most important values for overcoming post-war anomie. On the contrary, respondents who did not participate in hostilities noted safety and certainty of social expectations as the most important values for overcoming postwar anomie. Safety and certainty of social expectations, however, are common to all participants in the study in the sense of the main values that affect human activity in a post-war society.
