New aspects of security: citizens’ attitudes towards the issue of information regulation in Russia

. The effectiveness of government policies to ensure cyber- and information security directly depends on how successfully such measures are followed by citizens at the national level. The author considers the influence of cognitive-rational, value-affective, and socio-demographic factors on respondents' support for government policy in the field of information regulation through selected cases of regulating social networks and introducing a mandatory face recognition system in public transport. In the course of the study, a factorial survey (N=395) was conducted using vignettes to examine the effects of framing on respondents' perception of the measures proposed. The analysis of the experimental results in this study shows that news framing to persuade the population to support the proposed measures does not lead in the short term to an increase in support for the measures. However, certain factors influencing public perception, such as civic identity, trust in the political system, and assessment of cyber threats danger, show less variability over time. The results of the study allow us to confirm the hypothesis of a direct connection between civic identity and support for restrictive measures, as well as partially confirm the assumption that the political trust of citizens and the specifics of perception of cyber threats positively influence support for the introduction of measures. In addition, the heterogeneity of support for government measures at various levels of political trust of respondents was revealed, therefore we can identify the further potential of research on public perception of such measures taking into account trust in the political system and individual political actors (government, special services, army, etc.) in Russia.

保障网络与信息安全的政府政策成效，直接取决于国民层面民众对相关举措的遵从程度。本研究以社交网络监管、公共交通强制部署人脸识别系统为研究案例，探讨认知-理性、价值-情感与社会人口统计学因素对受访者支持信息监管领域政府政策的影响。本研究通过样本量为395的因子调查（factorial survey），采用情境 vignettes（vignettes）开展实验，以检验框架效应对受访者感知所提举措的影响。本研究对实验结果的分析表明，旨在说服民众支持所提举措的新闻框架，短期内并未提升民众对相关举措的支持率。不过，部分影响公众感知的因素——如公民身份认同、对政治体系的信任程度以及网络威胁危险性评估——随时间推移的波动性相对较低。本研究结果证实了公民身份认同与支持限制性举措之间存在直接关联的假说，同时部分验证了‘公民政治信任及对网络威胁的感知特质会正向影响民众对相关举措推行的支持度’这一假设。此外，本研究还揭示了不同政治信任水平的受访者对政府举措的支持存在异质性，因此可进一步挖掘在俄罗斯语境下，结合民众对政治体系及各类政治主体（政府、特殊服务部门、军队等）的信任度，开展此类举措公众感知研究的潜力。
