Abstract
Aim. The work aimed to develop a methodological approach to the analysis of different types of data that is used to transform the initial data of responses to questionnaires into quantitative estimates used to construct indicators that determine the structure of the historical memory of young people.
Objectives. The work seeks to develop a system of principles for constructing questionnaire surveys that enable to assess quantitatively the structure of complex socio-economic phenomena that are not interpreted unambiguously, such as historical memory or self-awareness of young people, as well as to generate methodological approaches to the analysis of different types of data measured in text representation, in order to transform their relatively comparable quantitative estimates.
Methods. The author used methods of content analysis, sociological survey, typology, grouping, classification and generalization, as well as multidimensional statistical methods.
Results. As part of this study, a system of principles for developing a questionnaire for assessing complex social phenomena, such as historical memory, was created. The approach to constructing the questionnaire is based on the modular principle, where each module serves to assess the corresponding indicator expressed in the form of a quantitative vector of indicator estimates calculated based on the survey questions. A methodological approach has been developed for converting different types of data in textual representation to a quantitative representation, which includes four stages. Software has been developed to automate the researcher’s activities in preparing typologies of respondents’ answers and quantitative analysis of qualitative information.
Conclusions. The methodological approach to the quantitative analysis of textual information of open-ended survey questions developed in this article expands the possibilities of sociological studies of historical memory. Quantitative estimates of the level of historical memory enable to assess the structure of the youth environment based on the level of historical memory and serve as a prerequisite for developing models for managing the historical memory of young people.
