Профессиональная деформация (Russian Wikipedia)

The Russian Wikipedia article on professional-deformation. T2: encyclopedic tertiary reference, the tier ../QUALITY.md gives Wikipedia for established concepts. It states no publication date; the page was last edited 2025-12-29 (revision 150896114), which is an edit stamp, not a published: date.

What the source gives

The article defines the term, names the scholars who studied it, lists occupational examples and two classification schemes, separates deformation from "professional destruction," and ends with a short prevention paragraph. The full account sits on professional-deformation; this page records only how far the source can carry it.

Weaknesses of the source

• Thinly cited. The article has carried a "no footnotes" flag since 27 November 2012, and the "first classification" section (positional, adaptive, degradation) has carried a "source not cited" tag for roughly 14 years. The names it lists (Gellerstein 1930, Rogov 1992/2016, Markova 1996, Zeer 1999/2003, Beznosov 2004, Granovskaya 2010, Druzhilov 2013) are unchecked here; no primary was read.
• No study behind any claim. Per this spoke's evidence caveat: the examples (teachers become authoritarian, programmers look for bugs everywhere, writers misread cartoons) are observations and anecdote, with no sample, method or effect size. The cartoon example rests on one remark by an illustrator on a 2012 television channel.
• Culturally specific. The vocabulary and lineage are Russian and Soviet; see the synthesis note on professional-deformation.

Entities

pitirim-sorokin, credited with coining the term. The other scholars are named on professional-deformation only; the source gives them no more than a name and a year, so they are not paged.

Cross-spoke context

No runner-up spoke. Nearest neighbours inside this wiki: burnout-stress-cycle (distinct construct, see the Thing page) and heuristics-and-biases (the article files the term under cognitive bias, but by a different mechanism).
