Abstract

Objective of the study is the development of a technology for modelling a sociological study of social conflicts in the sphere of sport, envisaging certain options for their prevention and resolution. Methods and structure of the study. This work is a descriptive sociological study, constructed and organised on the basis of the consistent application of the sociological methods of document analysis and participant observation, as well as the general scientific operations of typologisation and modelling. Results and conclusions. The results of the study carried out prove the possibility of constructing a relatively universal model of a sociological study of social conflicts in the sphere of sport. The indicated model includes the logic of constructing a typical structural and content map and a typical scientific thesaurus that fills the sociological instrumentarium. However, the subject-oriented applied application of this technology of modelling a thematic sociological study is necessarily linked to a knowledge of the various levels and fragments of management and organisation in the sphere of sport, sporting activity, sports management and sports education, without which the said sociological model is deprived of a practical basis and turns into a pure abstraction. Accordingly, each particular subject-oriented applied model of the technology of sociological study of a social crisis in the sphere of sport will necessarily require the development of a particular thesaurus, adapting the sociological instrumentarium to the specifics of the level and fragment of social-crisis counteraction being considered.
