The results of modeling perception psychosemantic political order among students of Grozny in 2013. The study involved 120 people. Modeling based on the classical method of semantic differential Charles Osgood . A comparative analysis of average semantic portraits. Calculated levels of emotional perception of the political order. Perception of order in the Republic: 0, 423052 , Russia: 0.351604 . The basis of the binding model is a theory of two ideal points (extended  method ideal point Coombs ): emotional attitude measured by proximity to the image of the real image of the ideal constructs in semantic space as a whole, rather than individual coordinates. In accordance with the general concepts of "good" and "evil" are calculated ideal "positive" and "negative" constructs. Further, under the theory of catastrophes developed model allows calculations on the ideal proximity to two points. Found that the level of perception described by the potential perception of the fourth degree. A stationary point - stationary states equation of the third degree. Potential itself depends on two factors: evaluation and activity. Based on a group approach, the method of calculation of the binding model and evaluation factors and the activity of the two proximity to two of the ideal points.

В работе приведен анализ групповых установок по отношению к политическому порядку молодежи г. Грозного в 2013 году. Мониторинг политических установок осуществлялся методом анкетирования. В пилотажном исследовании приняли участие 120 человек. Выявлены и изучены компоненты политических установок. Уровни найденных восприятий рассчитывались в линейном приближении с использованием факторного анализа, и являются значениями средних, которые строились при помощи описательных статистик.  Уровни когнитивного восприятия политического порядка для Республики: 0,265, и для России: 0,271. Найденные значения являются схожими и  положительными, но следует отметить, что имеют противоположную величину, по сравнению со значениями, полученными в исследовании среди студентов Ростова-на-Дону.  Уровень относительной депривации за 2013 год равен 0,333. Это свидетельствует о том, что руководство Республики сумело закрепить и повысить уровни социальной и экономической защищенности среди студенчества. Поведенческий компонент имеет два уровня: оценка и активность. Оценочный уровень поведения составил -0,275, и уровень поведенческой активности 0,517. Оценочный фактор поведения студенческой группы выявил низкое значение (молодые люди могут не обсуждать новости политики с друзьями, семьей и т.д.),  однако действительное поведение находится на высоком уровне (активное участие в выборах и общественных движениях). Далее, по полученным факторам осуществлялась вторичная факторизация и расчет уже итогового поведенческого компонента. Для 2013 года общий уровень поведенческой составляющей равен 0,352.

The paper deals with the analysis of of the relation to the political life among young people in Rostov-on-Don. It is measured an activity relation to the political life of society, there is assessment of relations to  the political authority, the current political situation and the level of relative deprivation. It is revealed, students possess low electoral and social activity: "don't take part in elections" – 47,4%. In the relation to protest actions the group was stratified on two subgroups: one has a positive attitude towards the antigovernment actions, the second - is negative. The relative deprivation is at the average level, but 1\4 of the group have the high level of deprivation, which may cause a political tensions in the future.

In 2013 the pilot study was conducted among students DGTU. All were interviewed 52 second-year student. Purpose of the work is measuring emotional perception of political order among students. The emotional component of group political installation was measured on technology of semantic differential. It was offered to estimate to respondents on 20 bimodal scales four types political about. Two ideal – ideally positive and ideally negative orders. And two real – local and central. In the linear approximation calculated levels of emotional perception of the political order in the vicinity of the averaged image of the real image of the ideal order to constructs used in the space of features. Perception of an political order in Region: --0,02; in Russia: -0,04 (using a normalization from -1 to +1). That it almost neutral.

The article discusses the analysis of group attitudes toward political order DGTU students. Pilot study took place in 2013 and was carried out using questionnaires, which was attended by 52 people. The analysis includes statistical processing data, as well as the method of sequential factor analysis with the identification of group settings.
Levels of cognitive perception of political order for the Region: -0,174 and Russia: 0,139. The level of relative deprivation is 0,46. Behavioral component has two levels: assessment and activity. The estimated level of behavior was 0,151, and the level of behavioral activity is -0,205. Further, according to the received secondary factors carried factorization and final calculation has behavioral component. An integral level of behavioral component is -0.12.

Research represents the analysis of group political installations among students of RGSU in the period of the end 2012 – the middle of 2013. Studying of installations was carried out by means of questioning in which more than 330 young people were involved. Analysis of the data held in the linear approximation using descriptive statistics and factorization. It is received, in cognitive perception of a political situation in Region respondents treat slightly better, than a situation in Russia, thus in both cases level is negative. For 2012 perception level in Region: -0,23, in Russia: – 0,27 . For 2013 in Region: – 0,20, in Russia: –0,23. The level of relative deprivation is average and slightly increased by the end of the period : in 2012, the level is 0,523 and in 2013 was 0,555. The analysis of total level of a behavioural component was carried out by consecutive factorization. The behavioural component consists of two parts: assessment and activity. So, for the middle of 2013 estimated level of behavior was - 0,096, and activity level-0,268. Further on these factors the subsequent factorial analysis with identification of the general behavioural installation was carried out. For the end of 2012 the general level of a behavioural component is equal – 0,052, and for the middle 2013 this level made - 0,148. Thus, total level of a behavioural component of group installation in relation to a political order tends now slow transition from alienation to performance against an existing order.

Research presented the analysis of the cognitive components of the perception of the political order based on the pilot questioning in Vladikavkaz in 2012. 47 respondents took part in questioning. The questionnaire included a subjective assessment of the following levels the participation in political processes; the emotional involvement into them; discussion of the these processes; economic welfare; social protection; life prospects. In addition, the questionnaire included questions about the degree of religiosity, and also the general questions characterizing the respondent (a sex, age, a nationality, level of parents education). To assess the level of deprivation used the subjective opinion of respondents on the levels of economic welfare and social protection, assessment of prospects in life, and also the degree of involvement in various political processes. Received, the level of involvement of young people in Vladikavkaz in the political processes in society - 1.28, the level of emotional involvement - 1.91. Average consistent level comments political processes in the family - 2.15.  The level of economic well-being and average level of social protection of students: 2.27 and 2.34. Assessment of prospects in life is average - 2.96. It was revealed in 2012, there is a low level of participation in political life with a low level of involvement in the political process. Some parameters of relative deprivation is average, and it is expected that this component will not lead to the formation of political tension.
