| Title | War and development of gender norms:Case of Ukraine |
| Summary | This research explores the impact of war on gender norms in Ukrainian society, focusing on the ongoing conflict started in February 2022. The research aims to investigate whether the war has influenced people's attitudes towards gender norms, specifically examining the role of emotions and the representation of women in the military. The study utilizes a combination of web-scraping methods for analyzing attitudes in Ukrainian Telegram channels and a survey experiment distributed on Facebook. Sentiment analysis and linear regression analysis are employed to analyze the data. The findings partially support the hypotheses, indicating that specific emotions, such as anger, play a role in shaping attitudes towards gender norms during war. Additionally, the research reveals regional variations in the effects of war on gender norms, with differences observed between regions closer to the war zone and those further away. While explicit attitudes towards gender norms did not show a significant effect, implicit attitudes were influenced by the representation of women in the military. The study contributes to the understanding of the complex relationship between war and gender. |
