COMMUNICATIVE SPACE EXTENSION OF PERSON AS A RISK OF MARITAL RELATION

Abstract

Formation of the information and communication environment conducts to change of communicative foundations of social institutes. This is evident even in such traditional social institutions as a family. For the purpose of empirical verification of occurring institutional changes under the influence of the information and communication environment was conducted representative sociological research. In this study, the corresponding conclusions have been drawn from the analysis of the use of information and telecommunication technologies citizens with different family status. Family members use a wide range of communication tools to maintain with each other the relations. But their use led to blurring of traditional distinction between "work" and "house". The Internet and mobile telephony brings together during the separation, but because of its individualistic essence within the family (for each of its members) give a personal, interactive, anonymous access to information and communications environment, which is organized by the network principle. And it levels the relations between the proximal (family) and distant circle of contacts: the person gets used to communicate with everyone, including the members of his family, indirectly. In our opinion, exactly the last circumstance is the main risk of modern communicative space for the family and marriage relations. Purpose For the family and marriage relations to reveal the riskogenics of modern information and communication environment on the basis of sociological research Methodology . The main method is empirical verification on the basis of results of representative sociological research. Results. The presented data of sociological studies show a multiple-valued impact of information and communication technologies to the development of family relations (contacts). Becoming a basis of communicative space, of a family members, they blur the line between the house and work, between the proximal (family) and far (friends, colleagues, remote relative) circle of contacts. Practical implications. The results of the research will be of interest in the development of federal and regional programs to support the family in the modern conditions.
