Abstract

Modern studies of ideas about the family reflect a contradiction: on the one hand, young people are guided by the values of individualism, freedom, and self-development, and on the other, they maintain the high value and desirability of the family. The use of methods of psychosemantics and metaphorical images in the study revealed the peculiarities of young people’s ideas about the family and revealed the “zones of psychological tension” in the sphere of family and family relations. In the semantics of ideas about the family, schoolchildren and students alike identified the priorities of boundaries and the understanding of the family as a closed location. In the minds of students, the cognitive and emotional aspects of ideas are more clearly differentiated, and the willingness to actively create their own family is reflected. Among young people with higher education and experience of marriage or cohabitation, negative connotations of family assessment prevail. The area of psychological stress in the family sphere: schoolchildren have a weak orientation in family relations, students have idealistic expectations, and older youth have numerous problems related to personality characteristics.

Highlights

Since the second half of the 20th century, in science and social practice, active discussions and debates have been conducted about role and value of family in the life of a modern person, liberated in his individuality
The results of our study, obtained in two series, conducted using methods that are different in form, but the same in the meaningful and semantic aspect, complemented each other, and provided the identification of important psychological nuances in the ideas of adolescents, students and young people about the family, which reflect the actual zones of psychological stress of young people in the field of family and family relations
We presented the description of the results in the chronological order of the study, but we will talk about the results in the opposite order, which seems more logical in terms of age

Summary

Introduction

Since the second half of the 20th century, in science and social practice, active discussions and debates have been conducted about role and value of family in the life of a modern person, liberated in his individuality. 1913, sociological essay of P.A. Sorokin "The Crisis of Modern Family” caused a great resonance. The author records the emerging decomposition of the institution of family, which, in his opinion, will not lead to the destruction of the phenomenon of family, but will contribute to a faster transition to new forms of this social institution.
