The proposed article describes the global experience of adapting the RDS (respondent-driven sample) methodology, used as a de facto standard in large-scale quantitative studies of social groups, to the world of web communications. The experience accumulated in global practice allows us to state that WebRDS is faster and cheaper, provides a greater diversity of the research population and the possibility of recruiting simultaneously at several sites without extensive contacts in local communities, works in countries with very different income levels of the population, and can be combined with traditional RDS, and other survey methods (e.g., with telephone survey). At the same time, WebRDS has its own characteristics, among which we note the vulnerability to fraud, the sensitivity of the response rate to the size of the questionnaire, the presence of biases caused by access to the Internet or mobile connection and the habit of using online tools, not always full control of the research team over the use of the collected data with the help of third-party Internet data platforms, as well as higher requirements for the technical competence of both researchers and ethics committees, etc. In Ukraine, the prerequisites for successfully implementing WebRDS have been created. Considering the challenges that have arisen due to the occupation of part of the territories and the large-scale migration of the population, it seems appropriate to adapt the available foreign experience in implementing such a recruiting system to the practice of biobehavioral research of vulnerable groups in Ukraine.

This article focuses on the similarities and differences between visual value content on German and Ukrainian Instagram, employing the methodology of traditional, modernist, and postmodernist values. In particular, we investigate the gender aspect of visualized values on Instagram in a cross-cultural comparative perspective. The results of content analysis of 2095 photos on German Instagram and 2657 photos on Ukrainian Instagram reveal that most often, in the social practices of Ukrainian and German Instagram users, modernist and postmodernist values are visualized. Our findings support the argument that Instagram is a specific field of social practices that contributes to the unification of the visual practices of users and the homogenization of the visualized values as a result of cultural convergence.

Public perceptions (particularly in post-communist societies) of the LGBT community and related issues have extensively been studied in recent years. Still, so far there is little information about how specific occupational groups view these people. The given research paper is intended to somewhat fill this gap by presenting a thorough description and analysis of findings from an empirical study focusing on the attitudes towards LGBT individuals among three occupational groups such as medical workers, social workers and the police. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the fact that a personʼs physical and mental health or even life may often depend on the quality and timeliness of services provided by these professionals. The above-mentioned study consisted of two cross-sectional surveys performed in 2017 and 2019. In total, approximately 1,500 persons (nurses, family practitioners, social care staff, patrol officers, etc.) from five countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, North Macedonia) took part in the two rounds of this study. Research toolkit included a questionnaire (designed by the authors for each occupational group) and the Bogardus social distance scale. Respondents were recruited through snowball sampling, which involved using personal and professional contacts. The survey data indicated the following: (a) the overall attitude of the aforementioned occupational groups towards LGBT people is somewhat positive; in addition, social workers are the most favourably disposed to the LGBT community while the police take a cautious approach to LGBT issues; (b) the overwhelming majority of respondents (except for police officers in Kyrgyzstan) believe that LGBT people should enjoy the same rights as the other citizens of their country; nevertheless, only a third of those surveyed hold the opinion that same-sex marriages should be permitted by law and about one fifth express support for the right of same-sex couples to adopt children; (c) women, residents of Belarus and North Macedonia, religiously unaffiliated respondents and those having an LGBT acquaintance exhibit greater tolerance for LGBT individuals than men, residents of Armenia, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, those belonging to a particular religion and respondents without LGBT acquaintances; (d) during the period under study, a noticeable change in the attitude towards LGBT persons occurred in some subsamples: among Armenian healthcare workers, for example, there was a steep fall in support for the right of LGBT couples to marry. However, little or no change was recorded in other subsamples or in the whole sample: a slight growth in the overall percentage of respondents favouring the idea of LGBT parenting is a case in point. Although the samples of the countries in question are not nationally representative, the research results have a certain empirical value because they can be taken into consideration while developing programmes aimed at fostering tolerance in society and improving attitudes to LGBT people.
