Russia occupies a leading position in the world ranking of countries with the richest natural resources, but lags behind many countries of the world in terms of living standards. Studies of Russian sociologists also suggest that, according to Russians, negative dynamics are manifested in many indicators characterizing the main areas of life of Russian society. To overcome this situation, a close study of the laws of functioning and the cyclical stages of social processes is necessary, which is impossible without reliance on socio-psychological knowledge, which is increasingly being integrated into international models for assessing the quality of life at the macro, meso- and micro- levels. Recent studies convincingly demonstrate the relationship of psychological factors with the quality of life of society, there is a realization that these factors can serve as important levers in optimizing socio-economic processes, can increase their productivity and are effective in implementing public administration programs. In modern conditions, no scientific field can give a complete answer to the question about the nature of the factors (legal, economic, social, psychological, etc.) that determine an increase in the standard of living of the population and ensure the stability of its social development. Accordingly, the optimization of the social sphere is a complex interdisciplinary problem, which, in one of its manifestations, is associated with the need to identify various historical and everyday cycles that affect the effectiveness of economic and political processes, as well as the mindset of the population. In this direction, the development of information technology creates serious opportunities for combining the efforts of representatives of the humanities, social and technical sciences, and the organization of large-scale integrated research.
