Abstract

In the article on the basis of the data of all-Russian sociological survey authors compare how representatives of religious-philosophical groups of Russians evaluate their emotional and psychological status and socio-economic conditions, compare strategies of action in conditions of crisis, their attitude to social moral norms. It is revealed that the problem of social adaptation in the crisis in Russia and of the role of the religious factor reflects the ambiguity of manifestations of religious intentions. On the one hand, social wellbeing, the evaluation of personal and social perspectives in the crisis, the rejection of political technologies of social adaptation are non-religious and non-confessional, reflect the similarity of the views and attitudes of Russians in forming life trajectories in conditions of economic instability. On the other hand, the authors fix more focus of followers of traditional religions and non-denominational believers in traditional values stability, more humane and creative adaptation technologies, traditionalist and solidarity behavioral installation. Among the religious-philosophical groups in Russia Muslims show most positive characteristics that makes you wonder about those social and emotional features of Islam, which have certain social-adaptive abilities.
