TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIAL PRACTICES OF RESPONSIBLE FATHERHOOD INTO DEVIANT FORMS OF SOCIAL ACTIVITY

The study of social practices of responsible fatherhood is relevant at the present time in the context of the transformation of the institution of fatherhood. Particular attention of researchers is directed to the social construction of responsible fatherhood in the media space – the profile social networks of communities. The problem is that within fathers' communities in social networks there are markers of radical opinions, ideas, which are essentially predictors of the transition to deviant forms of social activity and destructive practices. The aim of the study is to assess the semantic similarity and cross-links between the communities of «Fathers' Union» and «Fathers' Council» and communities with signs of radicalization. Methods: content analysis and web mining. According to the results of the study the presence of a strong relation of thematic and semantic similarities between the communities of «fathers» and «pro-lifers» is indicated. There are signs of the transformation of social practices of responsible fatherhood into deviant forms of social activity. It is emphasized that the use of various methods of web mining increases the possibility to assess the influence of radical opinions and ideas in the online environment, respectively, the possibility to prevent such form of social activity in the communities of responsible fathers as dissemination of radical ideology increases. In conclusion, future research directions are outlined.
