Method: literature review through professionalization theory (Greenwood, Durkheim, Weber, Parsons), combined with VTsIOM survey data and a comparison of Russian and Western models of psychological training.

Result: found that digitalization has made psychological help more accessible, but also intensified problems of quality control and professional identity — with digital platforms partially replacing traditional professional communities, but as market intermediaries, not value-driven ones.

Working with a researcher for the first time, not just on my own, showed me how much sharper an argument gets when someone else pushes back on it.

I compared counseling psychologists, coaches, and teachers to find what's common across roles built on supporting other people, and what differs.

Method: literature review, systematized into eight trait categories, cross-referenced across the three groups.

Result: identified a shared core — empathy, communication, emotional regulation, responsibility — plus role-specific traits shaped by how each profession structures contact with people.

Through this research project I recognised “support” not as a single skill, but a combination, built differently, depending on the relationship.

Method: I compared HR policy at two major companies using ESG data.

Result: both scored well on paper, but I argued CSR can backfire — over-extended "supportive" programs can start functioning as control rather than care.

This research became the foundation of my first argument for why good intentions in an organization aren't enough on their own — structure matters as much as intent.

Method: I analyzed VCIOM survey data across five generations.

Result: found a widening gap between wanting to start a business and actually doing it, tied less to money and more to institutional trust.

Method: I analyzed human–AI interaction in psychological dialogue through the framework of existential analysis and fundamental motivations, drawing on recent research on AI chatbots and mental health.

Result: found that AI can lower the barrier to self-reflection and psychological support, but cannot fully replace human connection; the key factor is how users frame their prompts and maintain their own agency in the interaction.

Method: I analyzed CSR through employee belonging, organizational identity, and tripartite social partnership, focusing on the balance between corporate support, state regulation, and individual autonomy.

Result: found that effective CSR should support employees while preserving freedom of choice; flexible benefits and feedback can strengthen belonging without restricting personal identity.

I examined how artificial intelligence is integrated into employment, focusing on recruitment, candidate screening, interviews, assessment, and onboarding.

Method: literature review and analysis of employment stages, focusing on which tasks can be delegated to AI and where human involvement remains essential.

Result: identified that AI is most effective in processing standardized information — screening resumes, initial communication, interview scheduling, and routine documentation. However, evaluating motivation, communication, individual experience, and professional potential still requires human judgment.
