Summary
ГЕНДЕРНАЯ СПЕЦИФИКА СМЫСЛОВОГО ЗНАЧЕНИЯ СЧАСТЬЯ В ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЯХ ЛЮДЕЙ РАЗНЫХ ВОЗРАСТОВ. Представлены результаты сравнительного эмпирического исследования гендерной специфики смыслового значения феномена счастья испытуемых трех возрастных групп (ранний юношеский возраст, ранняя взрослость – молодость и средняя взрослость – зрелость) общей численностью 90 человек, полученные с помощью модифицированного варианта методики семантического дифференциала. Прослежены гендерные различия и гендерное сходство в смысловом значении феномена счастья, характерные для испытуемых разных возрастов, при этом констатирована достаточная вариативность этих различий и сходств. Выявлены некоторые внутренние противоречия в системе субъективных представлений о счастье у испытуемых разных возрастных групп. Наряду с традиционными гендерными ценностями и стандартами, у части испытуемых имеют место и некоторые гендерно нестереотипные взгляды, что является следствием намечающихся изменений в содержании доминирующей в современном российском обществе стратегии гендерной социализации
