Abstract

As a result of the radical socio-economic transformations taking place in the modern world the institution of family and marriage is being changed. Thus the problem of purposeful formation of family self-determination of student’s youth in the processes of education and training becomes particularly relevant on this background. The purpose of the conducted research is studying of features of family self-determination of students youth depending on the education level. The results of the empirical research, which was attended by 1158 respondents, indicate that university students have more developed elements of cognitive, value-emotional, regulatory and behavioral, motivational, reflective component of family self-determination. College students are characterized by increased unproductive motives for marriage (compensation for feelings of loneliness, revenge), less negative attitude towards family conflicts, less depicted intrapersonal conflict in the marriage and family sphere than university students. Family self-determination is typical and achieved for the majority of university students. Diffuse family self-determination prevails with college students. According to this we suggest to introduce a psychology-pedagogical model of development of family self-determination which will provide activization of the process of family self-determination as inextricably linked with personal and social identity, formation of psychological competence of the sphere of matrimonial relationship, readiness for marriage and family life in the educational process of colleges.
