title: The Relation of the Adygs to the Traditional Values of Ethnic Culture in Everyday Life: Pilot Study Questionnaire

description: This survey is conducted by a culturologist, an independent researcher Adam Yuryevich Natkho, a deputy of the Takhtamukaysky district of the Republic of Adygea (Russia) to prepare a dissertation for the degree of candidate of science (candidate of cultural studies). All information is collected and analyzed in an anonymous form. Anyone interested in the Adyghe culture or who consider themselves ethnic Adyghes can voluntarily take part in the survey. The research methodology complies with international ethical requirements for such surveys.The purpose of this study is to establish the comedia ecology, methods, qualitative analysis, homo relational, reculturization, humane homomedia ecologymediaecologyrrespondence of subjective assessments of the significance of the traditional values of the Adyghe folk culture with the level of interest in them in everyday life.The survey is conducted by A. Yu. Natkho, theoretical development together with G. V. Bakumenko.The information in Section 1 "Groups of respondents" makes it possible to establish a correlation between the results of the survey and the social status of individual groups of respondents. It is quite obvious that certain age groups, men and women, as well as rural and urban residents, depending on the level of education, may relate to the values (artifacts) of the traditional folk culture of the Adygs in different ways. It is assumed that long-term (5 or more years) monitoring will make it possible to observe the continuity of attitudes towards values between generations, depending on other correlates.Sections 2 "The importance of the basic values of folk culture in the everyday life of the Adyghes" and 3 "Attitude towards the basic values of the folk culture of the Adyghes" are the main ones.The scores of Section 2 are data that establishes the arithmetic mean of each of the seven arguments (values or artifacts of traditional folk culture) and determines the index of sacredness (social significance) of the artifact according to the formula: ka = k1 + k2 + k3 + ... kn / n, where “ka” is an indicator of sacredness (social significance) of an individual artifact, “k1 + k2 + k3 + … kn” are the rating values given by the recipients from “1” to “5”, and “n” is the number of recipients who have evaluated this artifact.The arguments of Section 3 are significant semantic expressions that determine the level of demand for an artifact of traditional folk culture in everyday life. The meanings of the expressions “I don’t know”, “I don’t know”, “I don’t know”, “I strive to live according to Sharia and Adyge Khabze, I think that they completely coincide”, “There is no need for a national costume” indicate a low level of demand for the artifact and correspond to the arithmetic index "0". The meanings of the expressions “I strive to live according to Sharia, I think that Adyghe Khabze is not always needed”, “I strive to live according to Adyge Khabze, I think that Sharia is not always needed”, “I am engaged professionally ...”, “The family keeps a collection of national costumes for various occasions , as well as other attributes (status weapons, national jewelry, national musical instruments, etc.)" indicate a high level of demand for the artifact and correspond to the arithmetic index "1". The remaining expressions indicate the average level of demand for the artifact and correspond to the arithmetic index "0.5". Quantitative indicators of Section 3 are calculated according to the formulas: Kalife = n / 0; Kalife=n/1; Kalife = n / 0.5, where “Kalife” is the category (level) of expressions, and “n” is the number of expressions highlighted by recipients.The attitude of the Circassians to the traditional values of folk culture in everyday life is a derived numerical indicator, in relation to a single artifact, calculated by the formula: ka x Kalife, - and to characterize the surveyed community as a whole: (sum ka x Kalife) / 7, where “7 » is the set number of assessed cultural artifacts. With long-term observation, it is possible to fix the dynamics of attitudes towards both an individual artifact and traditional culture as a whole.For the study of other cultures, which are a set of hierarchically organized values (artifacts), it is possible to use a larger or smaller number of evaluated artifacts, as well as other expressions that characterize the level of demand for a value (artifact) in everyday life.
