ETHNIC FEATURES OF INFLUENCE OF FAMILY VALUES OF PARENTAL FAMILIES ON FORMATION OF STRUCTURE OF FAMILY VALUES IN YOUNG FAMILIES

Abstract

The article deals with methodological approaches to a problem of classification of family values. Authors provide a classification of family values structure from medical and social positions: material values (money, financial position, living conditions), social values (social status, respected work, family, children) and not material values (health, life as a whole, spirituality). It is proven that "social values" (social status, respected work, family, children) represent a big share of parental family values and "social values" correspond to the period and duration of the family. Family values of young families change during the period of monitoring and after 10-year period “not material values” prevail in hierarchy of values. Young families develop the hierarchy of family values that is different from their parents’ family values in initial stage of the values development. However, in some ethnic groups this distinction is insignificant and even coincides, which indicates greater influence of parental families on a young family in the area of formation of family values. In the future this factor will not interfere with young families’ tendency to move away from traditions and parental family values, which points to the threat of preservation of ethnic integrity.
