The aim of the article is to model the situation of oral communication of UkrainianRussian bilinguals within a family by its parameters: topic, place, time, participants. For the purpose of the analysis, the descriptive method and the method of discourse analysis are employed. The paper studied audio recordings of oral interfamily communication among Ukrainian-Russian bilinguals and surzhyk speakers from town and village in the Sumy region. By interfamily communicative interaction we understand a type of everyday communication in which members of different families are involved, who are related by blood (provided they live separately), by marriage or by being godparents. Communication within a family circle is predominately cooperative. However, compared to communication within a wider circle of friends it is more prone to conflict; the interlocutors are, therefore, more likely to follow formal rules for polite conversation. Interfamily speech interaction can be both phatic and informative; it manifests itself through oral (dialogues and polylogues) and written (letters, including emails) communication. However, both forms are characterized by non-codified speech. We have identified the main features of communicative behavior of members of different families taking into account such extralinguistic factors as social role, status, age and gender of interlocutors. We have singled out the specific features of interfamily communication in the context of Ukrainian-Russian bilingualism. We have established, in particular, that both the choice of the language means and the code switching are determined by the following: changes in the topic of conversation, its duration, the birthplace of speakers and the region where they live as well as their respective status and role. In their speech behavior, men employ the tactics of assertiveness, seek to conform to the stereotypes of masculinity. Women, especially the older ones, employ the tactics of transferring their life experience and family values and seek to maintain communicative balance. The older generation is more communicatively active than the young. Further research will test the obtained results against a larger body of empirical data.

Modern technology, especially the Internet, has invaded all homes, and Internet addiction has become a societal phenomenon among members of society, whether young or old, especially the husband’s addiction to the Internet, which has a great impact on the wife’s feeling of marital alienation within her family, her feeling of marital isolation, dissatisfaction with her family life and the weakness of family values as a result of her feeling that her husband does not share her life tasks with her, and his constant preoccupation with the Internet and the consequent moral and social problems. The current research aims mainly to determine the relationship between the husband’s addiction to the Internet and marital alienation among a sample of wives. The research tools consisted of: the general family data form, the husband’s Internet addiction questionnaire, the wife’s marital alienation questionnaire with its dimensions (marital isolation, dissatisfaction with family life, weakness family values). The research sample consisted of (212) wives residing with their husbands and their husbands use the Internet and from different economic and social levels. Methodology: descriptive analytical method was used in the research. Results of the research were: There is a positive, statistically significant correlation at the level (0.01) between the husband's addiction to the Internet and the wife's marital alienation with its dimensions (marital isolation, dissatisfaction with family life, weak family values). There is a positive, statistically significant correlation at a significance level of (0.01) between the husband’s addiction to the Internet and the husband’s educational level. There is no statistically significant correlation between the husband’s addiction to the Internet and the husband’s age, wife’s age, marriage duration and the number of family members. There is a negative statistically significant correlation at( 0. 05), between the marital alienation of the wife and the number of family members, there is a positive, statistically significant correlation at( 0.01) between the marital alienation of the wife and the age of the wife, no significant differences statistically significance between the wives of the study sample in both the husband’s addiction to the Internet and the marital alienation of the wife according to the place of residence (rural, urban), and there is a statistically significant variance between the wives in the study sample in both the husband’s addiction to the Internet and the wife’s marital alienation according to the husband’s occupation in favor of husbands without work, There is no statistically significant variance between the wives of the study sample in each of the husband's addiction to the Internet and the wife's marital relationship according to the level of the family's monthly income. Recommendations: preparing educational seminars, awareness campaigns, and treatment and guidance programs for family members through various social and religious institutions, with the aim of educating them about the uses of the Internet and its various applications that these people deal with in a bad and harmful way to reduce its addiction. Holding training and counseling courses for family members in the concerned authorities to reduce the severity of marital alienation between spouses, the assistance of specialists in the field of psychology, sociology and family counseling through the media and designing talk shows to enhance family cohesion and reduce marital alienation between spouses.

From time immemorial, society has been characterized by a specific set of values, the system of which acts as a high level of regulation.Value systems are formed and transformed in the historical development of society.In each society, the value system is determined by the sociocultural, historical, political, cultural, economic conditions of its development, trends in social dynamics, the specifics of a particular period of functioning of society with its difficulties and prospects.The system of values consists of three elements - universal, cultural and individual.This article is aimed at considering methodological approaches to the study of the education of modern youth on the basis of family values, which is included in the element of individual values.The family is one of the main life values for people all over the world and as a system is characterized by the presence of connections and relationships (marital, consanguineous and others) between its constituent elements (family members) and manifests its integrity with an indissoluble unity with the environment (sociocultural reality).Modern youth is going through the process of active formation and development in the family, therefore, in the process of adaptation to the rapidly changing sociocultural reality, they use the system of family values, adapting it to modern conditions.The axiological, personality-activity, gender approaches were also methodological guidelines in the upbringing of the attitude to family values among modern youth.Thus, family values and trends characterizing the state of the family are significant social indicators that educate today's youth.

This study explored the extent to which the relationship between family values and social well-being is explained by well-being orientations. We investigated whether hedonic and eudaimonic motives for activities mediate the effect of family values of roles hierarchy and kin relations on social well-being. Using a cross-sectional survey design, randomly sampled participants from Ghana (N = 390) completed the Family Values Scale, Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities scale, and the Social Well-Being subscale of the Mental Health Continuum. Using structural equation modelling, we tested for direct and indirect effects. The full mediation was well fititng (CFI = .910; RMSEA = .059 [90% CI: .052, .066]). Direct effects between roles hierarchy (family values) and social-well-being as well as between hedonic motives (well-being orientations) and social well-being were significant. The relationship between roles hierarchy and social well-being was mediated by hedonic motives. However, kin relations and eudaimonic motives had a non-sigificant relationship with social well-being. The empirical finding, of how family values as a cultural index intersects with well-being dispositional orientation in the promotion of social well-being, is helpful in the counselling psychology settings. This contribution is particularly relevant in an African sociocultural setting which is known to be characterised by interdependence.

Domestic familists, analyzing the current state of the family, emphasize that complex and contradictory processes are taking place in it, due to objective and subjective reasons, among which can be noted a change in demographic behavior, the emergence, or rather, the renaissance of the institution of polygamy, focus on small families, loss of traditional family values The transformations taking place in the space of family and marriage relations naturally affected the traditional Dagestan society, in which attitudes towards having many children and adherence to certain rules of family behavior have historically prevailed. The author's empirical research shows that in the mass consciousness of the surveyed population of Dagestan, the position showing the orientation of the respondents to follow the established family traditions and customs prevails, although there is also a noticeable difference between rural and urban areas. The existence of differences in the attitudes of the townspeople and the rural population is due to the fact that urbanization, polyethnicity and polyconfessionalism have a huge impact on urban culture, compared to rural areas, where the traditional way of life is preserved. In the mass consciousness of the respondents, there is an emotional attitude towards childless married couples who, for objective reasons, cannot have children, but empirical data show a tolerant attitude of the Dagestani population towards voluntary childlessness with the motivation for the need to protect the personal space of each person who has family values that differ from those around them and installation. The study did not reveal significant differences in the marital status of the respondents, i.e. marital status does not have any influence on the formation, firstly, of seed values, and secondly, when indicating their attitude towards married couples who, for one reason or another, do not have children.

There is inevitable aging. By 2030, the steady rise of the elderly will make Malaysia an aging country. Malaysians historically practice the custom where the elderly co-reside with their kids. The strong family values among family members make older people strongly believe that in the elderly their family will take on filial responsibilities and take care of them. Nevertheless, the social characteristics of Malaysians have also steadily changed in tandem with increased urbanisation and modernisation. This research is therefore aimed at researching the housing aspirations of the elderly in Malaysia. Elderly people's perspectives are varied. Therefore, recognizing the diversity of different ways involves a thorough study of the elderly. This article uses qualitative approaches, adopts library-based research, and, by content analysis of documents, applies the literature review approach. The literature highlights the views and perspectives of researchers in the study who have raised the subject and problems. The research used was therefore focused on the content analysis on the previous academic studies carried out on the housing options preferred by elderly people, the potential elderly mobility reasons for them to move from current housing, and the types of houses and location of future housing preferred by the elderly. The results of these studies show that most elderly people in Malaysia have shown a preference for living close to their children, indicating the strong family values and physical environment of neighborhood as the preferences and aspirations among them.

This study examined the influence of family on career choice implementation, assuming that implementation can be assessed through goal progress and satisfaction, and that family influences the latter through perceived environmental supports or barriers and self-efficacy. Three hundred and twenty-three college students completed measures of family’ values and beliefs, expectations, financial and informational support, and of students’ perceived environmental support and barriers, academic self-efficacy, goal progress, and satisfaction. Path analysis results indicated that family values, expectations, and supports indirectly influence students’ choice implementation through supports and barriers and self-efficacy. Such influences should be considered in career interventions.

The research featured family values of the so-called Generation Z. The survey involved an authentic survey, S. S. Nosov’s Family Values Questionnaire, and the Morphological Test of Life Values developed by V. F. Sopov and L. V. Karpushina. A comparative analysis proved that Generation Z and Generation Y have both similar and different views on family values. The sphere of marriage and parenting had more differences, while the sphere of kinship showed more similarities. Representatives of Generation Z appeared to accept the idea of cohabitation; they also tended to get married relatively late in life. The gap between the optimal age of marriage for men and women proved to be quite narrow, while the age of first childbirth for women approximated that of men. In general, Generation Z shifted to an egalitarian family type. Unlike Generation Y, members of Generation Z valued spiritual satisfaction and underestimated achievements. In the hierarchy of family life values, they focused on spiritual satisfaction, self-development, individuality, and active social contacts. The research results can be used in health and family life education programs.

The article focuses on the social differences in the attitudes toward female and male voluntary childlessness in Bulgaria and their dynamics over time. The analysis is based on data from the European Social Survey conducted in 2006 and 2018 in Bulgaria. By the means of multinomial logistic regression, we test the effect of the period, gender, age, marital status, number of children, education, employment, minority status, and religiosity on attitudes toward childlessness. The results reveal a decrease in negative attitudes and a strong increase of neutral stances. However, higher age of respondents is still associated with an increase in negative attitudes toward voluntary childlessness rather than neutrality. Women are significantly more likely to accept voluntary childlessness than to be neutral compared to men. Respondents who are married, parents, lowly educated, jobless or economically inactive, people belonging to ethnic minority groups, and highly religious people are more likely to disapprove of voluntary childlessness. Perceptions on female or male voluntary childlessness are significantly correlated with attitudes toward extramarital fertility, cohabitation, divorces when children are under twelve years old, and full‐time female employment when children are below the age of three. The analysis of variance reveals that the individuals who accept or are neutral to voluntary childlessness have stronger non‐conformist attitudes emphasizing self‐expression, the idea of “having a good time,” and rejection of traditional authorities compared to the respondents with negative attitudes.

The article discusses the common interests of parents and adolescents, who have become significantly different in modern society with the advent of innovative technologies between the older and younger generations. The author analyzes the problem of underdeveloped forms of family leisure and take notice to the fact that in various types of leisure activities, the sequential formation of personal qualities of children such as independence, curiosity, organization, sociability, confidence, success and others is more effectively carried out. Family values are promoted by joint leisure, influencing the development of adolescents in socialization. The scientific works of scientists are analyzed, from which the conclusion about the common interests of adults and children follows. The types of family vacations at home and outside are consid it is worthwhile to form interests and traditions that unite adolescents and parents on the positive side. The author suggests synthesizing traditional and innovative forms of organizing family leisure activities in order to achieve common interests of parents and adolescents

Based on Big Data technology, a content analysis of Internet content for the period 2013-2020 was made. Promoting gender equality has been shown to be the most important component in preventing violent conflict, as gender equality is associated with more sustainable development and lower levels of interpersonal violence. It is determined that the activity of anti-gender movements in the period 2013-2020 can be considered a strategic information operation aimed at radicalizing society according to the concept of FAMILY VALUES and promoting pro-Russian ideology by analogy with «staples» («skrepi»).

This study aims to analyze and discuss the values in Hendrik Ibsen’s The Wild Duck. The method used in this study is descriptive. The data are a drama entitled The Wild Duck (1959). A library research method is applied in collecting the data. Furthermore, the data is analyzed qualitatively. Based on the result of the analysis, it was revealed that there are five kinds of Values found in The Wild Duck which are Moral Value, Social Value, Personal Value, Spiritual Value and Family Value. The most presented type is a moral value, it is about honesty. Social value is about interaction with around, friendship, respect to each other, justice. A personal value is a personality. Spiritual is non-material, it means the values of truth, inner peace, righteousness, and non-violence and the last is family values are beliefs, function as a family, ideals.

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of commuter student athletes who were hypothesized to experience a multiplicity of institutional logics while competing at the NCAA Division II level. Second, if multiple competing logics were present, the authors intended to test a theoretical model of logic multiplicity development. Utilizing a case study methodology, the authors collected data from commuter student athletes competing at the Division II level. The study’s findings indicated that commuter student athletes perceived the presence of multiple competing logics and that these logics indicated an aligned or minimally estranged organization. In particular, the high compatibility and high centrality of multiple competing logics signified an organization aligned between academic, athletic, and family values, whereas the low centrality and low compatibility of social identification and societal factors denoted an estranged organization for commuter student athletes. The implications of this research within sport management are presented herein.

The results of research on the compatibility of a married couple by role positions and family values as a factor in the satisfaction of spouses with a marriage have been presented. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used as research methods: the test “Role positions in interpersonal relationship” by E. Burn, the questionnaire “Role expectations and claims in marriage” (A. N. Volkova), the method of V. Stolin “Test satisfaction survey marriage”. As methods of statistical analysis, the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to identify significant differences in all parameters of the four formed groups. It was found that satisfaction with marriage directly depends on the compatibility of marriage partners in role positions and family values. As a consequence, couples in which the spouses are compatible on two possible factors are more satisfied with their relations, while spouses whose role positions are incompatible and family values are not agreed are least satisfied with the marriage. The obtained results can be used in the practical work of psychologists.

The purpose of this article is to describe programs and strategies dissuasive of Aboriginal youth gang involvement. Individual approaches target areas such as antisocial behavior, personal challenges, and negative thinking patterns. Family-orientated approaches reaffirm family values as a means to deter youth from gang association. Providing positive opportunities for youth to interact with community role models and to partake in community programs are also dissuasive to the proliferation of Aboriginal youth gangs. Although information herein is intended to tackle Aboriginal youth gang issues, it can also be useful in addressing peripheral social issues within communities, in general.

The article explores the relationship between emotions, collective identity and mobilisation in conservative social movements through an analysis of the World Congress of Families’ (WCF) 13th international conference, held in Verona in March 2019. WCF promotes Christian family values and brings together anti-gay, anti-feminist and anti-abortion activists, religious leaders, and politicians from around the world. We attended the congress and base our analysis on observations and theories on social movements and emotions. Both positive and negative emotions as well as symbols and metaphors were used as building blocks in the emotional work that holds this conservative movement together. In order to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms we show how passive emotions are turned into active, how the differences between ‘us’ and ‘them’ are constructed, and how the combination of positive and negative emotions helps motivate action.

The paper examines the importance of the family as an educational environment for the formation of the value system of the young generation. It is an outcome of cyclical research on the values of the younger and older generation in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship in Poland. The research data refer to the value examination questionnaire "100 Sentences - 100 Opinions" by Mirosław J. Szymański and the Value Scale by Milton Rokeach. The results confirm significant similarity of axiological systems for both respondent groups. The comparison of research results from three study stages (1994, 2003 and 2017) proves that the values systems in both younger and older generation are more constant than variable. Therefore, it can be concluded that in spite of disruptions experienced by a contemporary family, it is still considered the source of principles and values for a younger generation. The author proves that the first positions in the young people's and their parents axiological systems are held by the allocentric and prosocial values. This is also confirmed by the appreciation of the value of "true friendship" and "mature love”. It is beyond doubt that these values make it possible today to establish close and rewarding relationships that are extremely helpful to the sense of security and recognition. Furthermore, the studies prove that the participants in both research groups perceived the civic and material values as least important. The research studies a rather moderate acceptance by the respondents of the views representing family values. Young people in particular, still refer to the family with reluctance, criticising the various areas of the family's life, and they do not hesitate to point out the factors that disorganise the life of this community. They also clearly indicate their expectations of the family and, as can be anticipated, construct their own visions of the family. Although there are some changes in the order of values, they are not clear enough to suggest that the hierarchy of values and reference to family values of younger and older respondents has changed significantly over the years. The results with regard to the meaning of the family as a source of the young generation's values somewhat undermine the common theses about the little impact of family socialisation on the development and upbringing of the young generation and the loss of the family's basic duties.

Individuals' political stances tend to place them into the conservative "right," the liberal "left," or the moderate "middle." What might explain this pattern of division? Moral Politics Theory (Lakoff, 1996) holds that political attitudes arise from moral worldviews that are conceptually anchored in contrasting family models-the strict-father and nurturant-parent models-while the political middle is morally "biconceptual," endorsing both models simultaneously. The present research examined these postulations empirically. Studies 1 and 2 tested the conceptual and predictive validity of the theorized models by developing an instrument assessing strict and nurturant parenting beliefs (the Moral Politics Scale [MPT]), and examining its power to predict political stances on issues seemingly unrelated to parenting attitudes (e.g., abortion, taxes, and same-sex marriage). Studies 3a and 3b explored construct validity while testing whether the family models translate into more general moral worldviews, which then serve as a foundation of political attitudes. Studies 4a through 4c tested generalizability, examining the relationship between the family models and political stances across different countries, data-collection modalities, and a representative American sample. Finally, Studies 5-7 explored biconceptualism and the tendency for these individuals to shift political attitudes as a consequence of situational factors, particularly moral framing, such that strict-father frames lead to increased support for conservative stances while nurturant-parent frames lead to increased support for liberal stances. Overall, we found support for each of MPT's assertions, suggesting that an important aspect of the conceptual and experiential basis of people's political attitudes lies in the strict-father and nurturant-parent family models.

The article substantiates the theoretical and methodological principles of studying aggression as a phenomenon of personal growth; the essence and specificity of aggressiveness in preschool children are revealed; internal and external factors of occurrence of the specified negative quality are determined. Aggression is defined as purposeful destructive behavior of the preschool child, which contradicts the moral norms and inflicts physical harm or causes the victim negative experiences, the state of tension, fear, sadness. The author describes the concept of «ability to overcome aggression» is introduced by the author, the concept of development of a given skill in children of the preschool age is developed through the prism of the subjective approach. Qualifying a child 5-7 years as an active subject of life activity, the ability to overcome aggression is defined as the integral characteristic of the individual, the formation of which is defined by the ability to analyze the situation and their actions, the ability to more or less objectively evaluate the negative effects of aggressive behavior; the ability to make voluntary efforts to curb aggression and overcome negative impulses; the ability to competently and decently make their way out of a conflict situation. These served as criteria for assessing types of aggression curbing in children of preschool age while interacting with their peers. Four types of the investigated skill are distinguished and characterized - constructive, destructive, conformal and contemplative. In the experimental group, only 22.4% of children have been found to be of constructive type, they were distinguished by active in the form and moral content of the position in relation to peers; balance of knowledge, moral attitude and ability to resolve conflicts expediently and peacefully. Other 77.6% of preschool children were either characterized by an imbalance of dominant characteristics of the ability to overcome aggression or passivity of the position. The conditions for optimization of the educational process were: enriching the knowledge of preschoolers about the causes and consequences of aggressive behavior; exercises in the ability to construct peace-loving, friendly relations with peers; creation of an environment encouraging family values in pre-school institutions through the use of modern educational technologies.

The article is devoted to the psychological readiness of student’s personality for professional life. The author considers components of readiness that promote self-development and self-realisation in the professional sphere, and presents the results of an empirical study of willingness to work in a professional  eld. Readiness for professional activity in the chosen  eld is an issue of utmost importance for students. Psychological readiness is one of the most important conditions of successful self-realisation in professional life. It involves a conscious choice of a profession in accordance with the person’s skills and abilities, awareness of his/her own needs, demands of the society and the person’s team, set goals, manifestation of their intellectual, emotional and willed processes, the correlation between personal capabilities, level of aspiration and necessary achievements in something. A person’s psychological readiness for professional development in a chosen profession determines his/her competitiveness and potential for success. The aim of the article is to determine the notion of “psychological readiness for professional life” and to analyse the results of an empirical study of the partial readiness for professional activity in the context of family values and relationship between family members. Readiness has been the object of specialised studies since the late XIX and early XX century, when it was considered in the context of human mental processes. This period is covered in the  rst section of this study. On the second stage readiness is analysed as a certain phenomenon of human resistance to external and internal in uences. According to O. F. Lynenko (Lynenko, 1999), the third phase of study of the concept of readiness associated with research in the theory of activity is considered in relation to emotionally-willed and intellectual potential of the individual for speci c activity. Therefore, readiness is a qualitative criterion of self-regulation at different levels of the processes: physiological, psychological, and social. The study of individual and speci c characteristics of this phenomenon contributed to the creation of several concepts of psychological readiness, in particular the concepts of M. I. Dyachenko and L. A. Kandybovycha (Dyachenko, Каndybovych ,1976), as well as A. Ts. Puni (Puni, 1973).

Happiness shows as an important sociological category. Starting from Aristotle, happiness has traditionally been conceptualized in European reflection as the main goal of human life, as a result of human development (eudaimonic interpretation). At the same time, a simplified understanding of happiness as a subjective complex of sensations (hedonistic interpretation) has formed in the history of sociology. The article focuses on the relevance of the issue of happiness as a subject of sociological research. The concept of happiness has been interpreted as a particularly significant, key indicator that combines the subjective and objective characteristics of the humanˊs life-world as an integral part of society. Modern empirical techniques that allow us to reach a new level of understanding the role of happiness in human life are evaluated by us. The article contains the results of a secondary analysis of the sociological dimensions of happiness carried out in Ukraine in recent years, including in the context of the study of values and value orientations. According to research results, the negative events taking place in Ukraine in recent years did not directly affect on self-assessments of a feeling of happiness. This can be explained by the lack of formation of the “concept of happiness” among Ukrainians (Y. Golovakha), as well as the prevalence of family values in the general hierarchy of values. The results of a questionnaire conducted at the Department of Sociology of the Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University in May 2018 have been published and analyzed. According to our data, the vast majority of residents of the three centers of the Black Sea region (Mykolaiv, Odessa, Kherson) consider themselves happy people. At the same time, the feeling of happiness among the residents of the region is due to a greater extent to personal factors and is not directly related to the well-being of society. This can be regarded as a dangerous trend, one of the symptoms of the growing atomization of society.

This study focused on the issue of ethnic identity of students as a process of interaction between the family upbringing values and multi-ethnic university environment on the example of Daghestani students of Moscow universities. The central study objective was to determine the effect of family values on the formation of national identity in students, as well as to identify whether there are any statistical differences in these terms between males and females. A total study sample included 214 Daghestani students from 15 Moscow universities distributed into two groups: experimental one (composed of Dagestanis) and control (multi-ethnic group). The research participants were asked to specify their national identity and assess the use of their mother tongue as an identifier. The null hypothesis of this study suggested that there are no significant differences between the assessments of Dagestani males and females towards traditional family values and no significant differences in ethnic identification between students of the experimental and control groups. The groups were compared based on the results of Pearson’s chi-squared test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient calculation. As a consequence, the null hypothesis was confirmed only for the students of the 4th and 5th study years. The practical value of the collected findings resides in their possibility to be used to address psychological problems in multi-ethnic student groups and create optimal conditions for personal development and ethnic identification of students.

All the values, traditions, parental interactions between parents and their children, all the behaviors in the family affect the consciousness and norms of behavior of each of its members. These influences are primarily reflected in the individual’s social perceptions, knowledge and evaluation system, attitudes toward family values, beliefs and trust. Family life and its values The first ideas about marriage and family relations, as well as social attitudes, also occur precisely because of the presence of parents and their educational influence.

To achieve broad-based public support for conservation policies and actions, we need to understand what strengthens a person's connection to nature, since that has been shown to translate into environmentally protective attitudes and behaviour. We conducted a national survey in Singapore to investigate the associations of family values (biospheric, altruistic, and egoistic), social norms relating to spending time in nature, and experiences of nature, with three dimensions of connection to nature (measured using the nature-relatedness scale) – NR-Perspective (cognitive), NR-Self (affective) and NR-Experience (experiential). We found that family values were significantly associated with all three dimensions of a person's connection to nature. Biospheric and altruistic family values had a direct and positive association with NR-Perspective, while egoistic family values had a direct but negative association. The relationship between biospheric values and the three dimensions of connection to nature was also mediated through social norms of family and friends, and experiences of nature. Our findings indicate that family values, social norms and experiences of nature can variously explain different aspects of connection to nature, and that strategies focused on strengthening and/or appealing to biospheric family values, and the design of interventions that make spending time in nature with family and friends a social norm, could be useful in enhancing connection to nature in people.

El proceso de crecimiento del ser humano es complejo y variable, a lo largo de su vida se enfrenta a diferentes escenarios y aspectos que la sociedad impone como parte del desarrollo “normal” de todo individuo que culminan en la formación de una familia y la procreación de nuevos seres humanos para completar el entornos familiar idealizado. Sin embargo, la sociedad ha evolucionado y se ha vuelto más compleja por toda la información, el desarrollo y la tecnología, que a la vez que genera progreso. Lo anterior crea confusión entre los miembros de la familia al desviar lo que por mucho tiempo se consideró prioridad para los padres como la unión, el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de valores familiares. Con la evolución de la sociedad, las prioridades se centran en el crecimiento profesional de los padres sin prever las necesidades básicas de sus hijos, en la mayoría de los casos, en que la participación económica de la madre se ha hecho cada vez más importante, y a la vez, no se ha planeado la evolución entre los tres conceptos básicos: Familia-Valores y Estabilidad Moral. Cuando en una familia no hay participación activa de los padres en la educación de los hijos, se crea un vacío de soledad y de sentido de ausencia, lo cual ha provocando un incremento del síndrome llamado “Depresión infantil”, que va en ascenso desde hace 10 años a la fecha. Los síntomas que se manifiestan son la actitud de ausencia, retraimiento e irritabilidad en los niños, lo cual marca su desarrollo y el de los padres. El alto índice de crecimiento de este síndrome está creando un futuro incierto para: padres e hijos al no saber el tipo de traumas, conflictos emocionales y/o los trastornos de identidad que desarrollaran los hijos y a los que se enfrentarán los padres al mismo tiempo; la sociedad al ser incierto el tipo de familias que se establecerán en el futuro; y los individuos afectados psicológicamente que no puedan expresar o recibir muestras de afecto o que al no haber recibido afecto, no puedan sentirlo y desarrollarse como un individuo dentro de la sociedad. Es responsabilidad de nosotros como padres y como miembros de una sociedad el ayudar a que este síndrome depresivo disminuya y a que podamos formar jóvenes libres en de mente y en de espíritu, jóvenes que puedan darnos un México mejor y que puedan librarse de trastornos emocionales que los lleven formar familias disfuncionales, y seguir con este síndrome en crecimiento.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the relationship between factors of marriage satisfaction and stages of adulthood. The author draws attention to the causes of conflicts in young families in the direction of violation of the role expectations of spouses, disagreements on child-rearing, relations with relatives and friends, as well as inconsistencies of behaviors due to personal characteristics. The results of the analysis revealed the influence of coherence of family values in the sphere of social activity and emotional-therapeutic sphere on the satisfaction of the marriage of the three groups. In addition, the influence of significance for group III of the parent-educational sphere on the satisfaction with marriage was revealed. Indicators of the components of communicative tolerance show significantly the influence of the age factor of the experience of married couples studied on the results of the study: indicators of the first group of subjects (up to 5 years) are significantly more tolerant than those of the second and third groups (5-10 years and 10 years) on the following scales: forgive others the mistakes, inconveniences, unintentionally caused you troubles "," Intolerance to physical and mental discomfort created by other people "," The inability to forgive others mistakes, inconveniences, unintentionally cause no trouble for you "," Intolerance to physical and mental discomfort created by other people "; studied II and III groups in comparison with the indicators of the first group studied more tolerant on the scales: "Using yourself as a standard in assessing the behavior and way of thinking of other people", and "Inability to adapt to the character, habits and desires of others." The above features of the general communicative tolerance (intolerance) of the studied couples and features of different age groups of the studied will be taken into account when conducting the corresponding psycho-corrective program. Our correlation analysis confirmed our hypothesis, which consists of the assumption that there is a relationship between the level and factors of satisfaction with marriage and stages of adulthood.

The article presents a typological model of the psychological and pedagogical factors of family determination of personal crises. The main groups of psychological and pedagogical factors of family determinants of personality life construction and crisis experience formation have been determined, and namely: factors of constructive mode, strategic mode, and functional mode; whereas psychological and pedagogical factors of the constructive mode are ensured by the action of humanistic value factors, accumulative value factors; constructive balance factors; goal-setting value factors; problem-oriented factors; subjective and vital factors; creative and constructive factors. Factors of strategic mode include reflexive and existential factors (determining an ability of an individual or a community to track phenomena, to understand their essence, to learn existential values); experience and historical factors (determining standardized behavioural patterns of an individual, family, nation, those patterns having fostered their survival in a certain historical period); cultural and traditional factors (determining local and global heritage, the achievements of a society in the material and spiritual segments of existence and their manifestation in the life of an individual, family, nation, and humanity); spiritual and religious factors (characterizing basic spiritual values of an individual and family regarding the role and place of a human in the world, as individuals, as men and women inter-connected and inter-related with the Absolute. Functional psychological and pedagogical factors are primarily ensuring the consistency of marital values (in the parental and own family), the consistency of values (family values and those individually acquired) with the traditional values of a particular nation (or nations), which ethos the specific individual is representing; the consistency of values (family values and those individually acquired) with the situational values of a particular community and society in a particular time and space. The results of an empirical study of the effects of psychological and pedagogical factors of family determination on the nature of overcoming personal crises of different etiology in target samples are presented. Correlation relationships between groups of strategic factors are determined. Based on the research data, peculiarities of influence of psychological and pedagogical factors of family determinants on a personal life design along three research vectors are identified: transgenerational, intergenerational, and individual. The specific features of sensitivity in selected supportive and crisis families to the types of psychological and pedagogical factors of family determinants in crises periods are revealed.

Introduction. A notable trend in modern society is the transformation of family institution, which has long been considered the most important social and personal value. The change of attitudes of young people towards marriage in Russia is slower than in Europe; however, this process is becoming more obvious today and there is an urgent need to study it. So far, very little research has been carried out. In psychology and other social sciences, it is widely believed that the family formation is hampered by a hedonistic worldview. However, it is well known that the family provides the opportunities to meet many important human needs. This contradiction has prompted the direction of the present research.The aim of this research is to empirically investigate whether there is the conflict of the perceptions of the Russian young people about family values and hedonic and eudemonic orientations.Methodology and research methods. The empirical research was conducted using K. Peterson’s questionnaire “Happiness Orientations”. 173 students (49% female) took part in the research project. To assess the importance of family and different family values, the authors of the present research elaborated a special questionnaire, the reliability of which was confirmed in the course of approbation. The information obtained was processed through the means of correlation, regression analysis and nonparametric statistics in Statistica 10; confirmatory factor analysis of questionnaires was performed in Mplus 7.Results. The results of path analysis of interrelations between hedonism, eudemonia and family values indicated that family values were correlated not only with the orientation to meaningful and dignified life (eudemonia), but also with the orientation to pleasure (hedonism). The orientation hedonism was higher in young women; therefore, multiple regression analysis of the relationship between the studied phenomena was conducted in separate male and female groups of respondents. The results demonstrated that the value of birth and child-rearing in women is correlated with hedonism; the general value of family in male respondents is related with eudemonia.Scientific novelty. This investigation confirms that there is no contradiction between hedonism and family values. The research findings deduce that both eudemonic and hedonic orientations support family values, although the system of relationships between these orientations may vary according to gender. This finding expands our knowledge about hedonism and its role in modern society.Practical significance. The research results expand the understanding of hedonism and its role in modern society, clarifying the content of activities to prepare young people for family life. In order to enhance the effectiveness of such psychological and pedagogical support, one should take into account the hedonic tendencies of young people, revealing the importance of family formation in the context of personal happiness.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the career motivations of future counseling professionals. Design/methodology/approach Students completing their Masters of Counseling (n=174) responded to a 30 min survey about their career motivations, counseling career choice satisfaction, planned persistence in the counseling profession and perceptions of the demand and reward structure offered by counseling work. Motivational profiles were educed using hierarchical cluster analysis and compared via MANOVA. Findings Four distinct profiles were identified: “moderately engaged with family values,” “lower engaged,” “altruistic with family values” and “multiply motivated.” Clusters differed in their perceptions of the demand and reward structure offered by a counseling career, and their level of satisfaction with, and planned persistence in the profession. Cluster composition was unrelated to age, gender or pursuit of previous careers. Practical implications Implications for educators pertain to capitalizing on career motivations for different types of entrants, to tailor recruitment and professional preparation. Originality/value The authors add to existing literature by drawing on the theoretical lens of expectancy-value theory in a person-centered approach, to the study of counselor motivations, professional perceptions and career choice satisfaction.

Purpose. To highlight the results of the research aimed at revealing the influence of the mass media on the formation of the idea of family and marriage in student’s youth. Methods. An author’s questionnaire was developed. The questions of which are aimed at determining the following features: the most popular source of information about family; the desire of the student’s youth to check the information received in different sources; views on the representation of the image of family and marriage in media production, from the point of view of students; the attitude of young people to the following characteristics of family life, and how these characteristics, both positively or negatively, are covered in the mass media (nuclear family; official marriage (officially registered ); a family where there is a respect to senior members of the family; a family where both spouses provide the needs of the family; family with 1or 2 chil­dren; a family where a husband earns a living and his wife is engaged with household duties in everyday life and children; one marriage for life; a family consisting only of the spouses and their children (grandparents, grandparents and other relatives live separately); an incomplete family (because of a divorce); a family with many children; a family with adopted child / children; a large family where several generations live together; church marriage; civic marriage (not registered officially); childless family; childfree; birth of a child without having a family; free love, casual relationships; marital betrayal; polygamy; same-sex relationships. Results. The results showed that the Internet, due to its capabilities and accessibility, has become the most popular among the sources of information in the student’s community. The topic of the family, according to the opinion of the respondents, is usually presented in a neutral way, that is, consumers are given the opportunity to evaluate what they have seen or heard and make their own conclusions. However, the certain influence of the media on the consciousness occurs, and family values and ideas about building a perfect marriage and marital relationship of youth also change under this influence. Conclusions. There was a certain pattern, the relationship between what and in what way is broadcast in the media and with the views, settings, value orientations that prevail among consumers of media products.

Research on how families deal with setting boundaries and rules for young family members is very limited in the field of family therapy. By using content analysis methods, the six authors were able to qualitatively analyze the findings from 28 evidence-based articles from multiple journals that yielded five themes that may prove useful for educators, family therapists, researchers and parents. The five themes include: Parental Efficacy; Parenting Styles; Mediation, Monitoring and Collaboration; Adolescent Risk and Risky Behavior; and Adolescent Constructive Internet Use. Parents with positive Internet experience and parents who employed a more positive attitude toward their adolescents appeared to be more efficacious in controlling their adolescents’ use of the Internet. Age and gender were important in how parents monitored the Internet usage of their daughters and sons; older adolescents were given more freedom of choice. Parents who embraced an authoritative parenting style mediated Internet use more than authoritarian or neglectful parents. Implications suggest that parents are more successful in setting boundaries when they themselves have more than basic skills, are willing to negotiate Internet use with their adolescents, and are aware of gender differences in Internet use. Therapeutic strategies for building healthy Internet use in families include: developing family values that include input from the adolescent; building parent skills and understanding of the Internet; and supporting parents in mentoring and guiding their adolescents in setting healthy boundaries that fit their maturity and gender. It is crucial that therapists help parents protect their children as they take a collaborative and positive approach to educating their children about both the risks and positive aspects of the Internet.

The article presents the results of a study of the goal-setting of undergraduate students enrolled in the areas of training “Personnel management”, “State and municipal management”, “Psychology”, and “Construction”. The study jointly analyzed the goals stated by students for 1 year, 5 years and more than 5 years (that is, for the rest of their lives). The theoretical basis of the study was the analysis of inverse relations in hierarchical systems. It is assumed that the value preferences, goals and motives form hierarchical systems in which the lower, subordinate elements under certain circumstances are able to claim the dominant value (this is the phenomenon of inversion). The development of inversions in these hierarchies can lead to the escalation of social contradictions. The study identified gender-specific goal-setting; Fisher transformation was used to identify the significance of gender differences. In particular, it was found that female respondents are significantly more likely to point to goals related to building a family, giving birth to children, purchasing real estate, getting favorite work; male respondents pay more attention to high earnings. Particular importance was attached to the identification of inversions in the motivational hierarchy, the relationship between narrow and broad social motives. In particular, it was found that narrow social motives related to personal and / or family well-being strongly prevail in the goal-setting of students over broad social motives, as well as over cognitive and research motives. In this case, there is an inversion, as a result of which prosocial motives are inferior to selfish motives, and this inspires some anxiety. At the same time, we observe an evident desire of the vast majority of students to arrange their own family life, despite the crisis of family values identified by many researchers. The motivation to maintain family ties with the older generation is also important. All this can be viewed as a manifestation of prosocial tendencies.

This study deals with the values that are important in marriage and family life and the role of religion in supporting these values. Family values such as love, respect, trust, loyalty and sacrifice which are important in family life are the values that religions also recommend and emphasize their importance in family life. Religion provides useful family behavior and a belief system that supports positive family life. It can be said that religions help to prevent domestic conflict and to create a peaceful family environment by nurturing these values, also called relationship virtues. In Islamic religion and culture, family values are part of the basic values and principles of general morality. Islam has linked the principles of human relations to compassion and love in general. Compassion and love between husband and wife, parents, children or relatives who are connected with each other by family ties, or any person forming the human community have been seen as the most important ties in Islam. Abstract should be between 100 and 150 words.

The article considers concepts of Moscow residents related to the issue of «ideal» family. The generalized character of the «ideal» family in view of respondents is presented as follows: complete family with two children living in their own apartment, family relationship is based on love, mutual assistance, support, mutual understanding, domestic duties are distributed fairly and taking into account «female» and «male» types of domestic life. Furthermore, both parents are working and devote their free time to children. At that, joint leisure is mostly organized as active rest (walks, travel, sports). The study established serious gap between factual characteristics of transformation of social institution of family at present stage (increasing numbers of divorces and single parenthood, leveling of family values, decreasing of numbers of children in family, wide range of problems of modern family) and perceptions by respondents of the «ideal» family as it is. It is noted that perception of respondents of the «ideal» family may indicate preservation of value of family as social (and vital) construct. This perception also may act as intentional sources of motivation and striving for achievement of the «ideal» of family relations.

The relevance of the research work is due to the fact that the ideal family model strategy is becoming an integral component of the family and demographic policies. The need to revive the traditional family model and family values forms the conceptual basis for the government family strategy in Russia. However, in most cases, the measures taken by legislative and executive authorities to support the institution of the family do not rely on evidence-based results of empirical research. The subject of the research is the establishment of the value of family and family life in the system of life values of Russians. The purpose of the research was to identify the specific features of the attitude towards the family and the ideal family model in different population groups in Russia using the methods of multivariate statistical analysis. The results of the sample study conducted in the framework of the RFBR grant 15–02–00203 “Development of a methodology for statistical evaluation of demographic security in the context of globalization” covering 728 people constitute the information base of the paper. Data of demographic statistics and population censuses testify to the transformation of the family model and the demographic behavior of Russians. Families are differentiated by the number of children; nuclear families dominate in the family structure; with the growth of marriage birth rates in recent years, a significant proportion of children are born out of wedlock. The age of mothers giving birth tends to increase. The results of the study demonstrate the diversity of the views of Russians on a desired family model and suggest that the traditional family with clearly defined patriarchal intra-family roles does not gather majority support among Russians. The use of statistical analysis methods (factor analysis, two-stage cluster analysis, an objectives tree) made it possible to identify groups of characteristics reflecting traditional and modern family values. It is concluded that the choice of a desired family model is determined by the life strategy accepted by Russians. For a large part of Russians, the family is primarily a psychological haven. Meanwhile, in society there is a variety of opinions on the model of family life, and an effective family policy must take into account this diversity.

Tradicionalmente el Pueblo Gitano ha encontrado en el seno familiar su mayor fortaleza para adaptarse a un medio adverso. Este estudio empírico con metodología cuantitativa explora la contribución respectiva del contexto (calidad del vecindario y apoyo social), del sistema familiar (coherencia y adaptabilidad) y del individuo (bienestar subjetivo) sobre la resiliencia de las figuras parentales desde una perspectiva psicosocial y comunitaria. Los participantes fueron 95 familias de etnia gitana residentes en las Islas Canarias y 16 técnicos del ámbito social, cuyas respuestas a los cuestionarios fueron sometidas a análisis estadísticos descriptivos y un modelo de regresión. Las familias viven en vecindarios desfavorecidos debido a su baja formación, el empleo precario y los escasos apoyos formales recabados. Las figuras parentales perciben un buen nivel de cohesión familiar y de bienestar subjetivo.El modelo de regresión sobre la resiliencia muestra la contribución negativa de la problemática social del vecindario, y la contribución positiva de los ingresos económicos estables, vivir en un barrio inclusivo, disfrutar de cohesión familiar y de bienestar subjetivo.En conclusión, las familias de etnia gitana presentan fortalezas y potencialidades que, junto con los apoyos comunitarios apropiados, garantizan una resiliencia normalizadora sobre aquellos valores familiares que permitieron su supervivencia en tiempos difíciles., Traditionally, the Roma People has found within their families their greatest strength to adapt to an adverse environment. This study explores the respective contribution of the context (neighborhood quality and social support), the family system (coherence and adaptability) and the individual (subjective well-being) on ​​the resilience of parental figures from a psychosocial and community perspective. The participants were 95 Roma families residing in the Canary Islands and 16 social workers, whose responses were submitted to a descriptive analysis and hierarchical linear regression. The families live in neighborhoods with social inequalities due to their low education, precarious employment and the few formal supports obtained. The parental figures perceive a good family cohesion and a good level of subjective well-being. The regression model on resilience shows the negative contribution of the social problems of the neighborhood, and the positive contribution of stable economic income, living in an inclusive neighborhood, enjoying good family cohesion and achieving a good level of subjective wellbeing. In conclusion, the Roma families present strengths and potentials that, together with the appropriate community supports, guarantee a normalizing resilience in which they continue to preserve those family values ​​that allowed their survival in difficult times.

The problem of the relationship of people and society to the family reflects the objectively existing struggle of opposite trends in the development of marriage and the family – conservative and liberal. Practical social policy also depends on the support of society and the state for a particular trend in the development of marriage and the family (conservative or liberal). In modern society, individuals are forced to be included in a variety of complexes of relationships, but these complexes of relationships do not cancel or replace family-related relationships. At the same time, the family and family-related relations (and ideas about the family) change over time, the meaning of the family in personal relationships changes, and various forms of family appear. Individualistic values and the weakening of traditional family values are increasingly visible. The purpose of this study is to identify the sociological parameters of conservative and liberal tendencies in the development of marriage and family in modern Russian conditions. For this purpose, the data of the sociological survey is analysed in relation to three age-generational groups (junior, middle and senior). Data from a sociological survey indicate that in Russia, the conservative tendency towards family is more common among representatives of the middle and older age-generational groups. A liberal tendency in relation to the family is more inherent in representatives of the younger age-generational group. However, the vast majority of respondents from all age and generational groups show a conservative tendency in their attitude to family.

The article presents the results of the study of modern Russian animated cartoons from the point of view of their impact on family social health. The social health is formed on the basis of certain values. The destruction of the family values system negatively affects the formation of family social health. The animated cartoons are an important institutional mechanism of socialization of children, because the traditional institutions that shape values of the younger generation are largely losing their role, first of all the matter is about the institution of family. The original observation card for content analysis was applied. The analysis was applied to the animated cartoons distributed in 1992 - present time with a total time volume of 6500 minutes. The analysis of the representation of family in animated cartoons permitted to identify a typical image of family in modern Russian animated cartoons that is presented as a complete nuclear parental family where the relationship between spouses is characterized as pseudo-cooperation, raising the only child-teenager in authoritarian style. In Russian animated cartoons, only 54% of families are presented as full. The extended families are presented in 11% of animated cartoons. The quarter of all families presented in modern Russian animated cartoons, are a married couple without children, where family situations are built around the relationship of young couple that have got married recently.

The aim of this study is to identify the self-relationship and family attitudes and values correlation of professing Islam (practicing Muslims) and secular, ethnic Muslims in adolescence. The leading methods of this problem study are the theoretical analysis of scientific psychological literature as well as the empirical research method (testing), using techniques that allow to diagnose self-relationships, family attitudes and values. The experiment involved 100 people: 50 men religiously practicing Muslims, 50 - ethnic Muslims. The average age of the subjects is 18 - 23 years old. The study concludes that practitioners and ethnic Muslims have high self-relationship results in the components of "self-confidence", "self-esteem", "self-acceptance", "self-guidance." For religiously practicing Muslims there is no "internal conflict"; ethnic Muslims have high "internal conflict". The study of family attitudes revealed for both groups a strong focus on mainly joint activities in all areas of family life and a less loyal attitude to divorce, as well as for religiously practicing Muslims the importance of children's role in family life. Ethnic Muslims are characterized by personal identification with their spouse, social activity. The emotional and psychotherapeutic side of the family is important for them. And for practicing Muslims parent-educational attitude, personal identification with a spouse, and emotional-psychotherapeutic attitude are important. The study of terminal values has highlighted the importance of spiritual satisfaction, achievements, self-development for ethnic and practicing Muslims, as well as the importance of high material position for ethnic Muslims. Among life spheres, professional life and training are important for Muslims, for ethnic Muslims - the sphere of interests. The materials of this paper can be used by psychologists in working with students at Universities, Madrassas, Sunday and secondary schools. The relevance of the problem is due to the insufficient development of the correlation concept of self-relationship and family attitudes and values in adolescence (for example, ethnic and practicing Muslims). Despite there are many research options and methods for measuring it in this direction. The research materials are of practical value for psychological and pedagogical support in the educational process, as well as in the advisory work of young people who adhere to religious beliefs, observe the canons of Islam, or do not adhere to religious canons. The scientific novelty of the research problem and its originality is specified by the interest of self-consciousness, self-determination in adolescence, and family attitudes and values in the context of religious affiliation. Since juvenile period is a sensitive indicator of ongoing changes and determines the entire potential of the society development, the future of the society consequently depends greatly on the value foundation of the younger generation.

В статье рассматривается влияние современных динамически меняющихся социальных процессов на жизненно-стилевые стратегии молодежи в России. Опираясь на подходы к изучению жизненных стратегий молодежи и их типологии, авторы проанализировали основные социологические подходы к детерминации социальной идентичности молодежи в личной жизни, межличностных отношениях, в профессиональной и социальной сферах. Указанные трансформации особенным образом влияют на выстраивание стратегии семейных отношений, в том числе в отношении деторождения. Проведенная по результатам кластерного анализа сегментация опрошенных выявила четыре основные жизненные стратегии, для каждой из которых были описаны ключевые особенности составляющей ее аудитории. Выявленные особенности проанализированы с использованием качественных методов анализа, что позволило более полно рассмотреть причины и мотивы выбора молодежью конкретной жизненной стратегии в контексте пронаталистской социальной политики. Определены ключевые причины откладывания молодежью вступления в брачно-семейные отношения, уменьшения значимости традиционных семейных ценностей, особенностей репродуктивного планирования. Новизна представленной научной работы заключается в анализе изменений стратегий деторождения у современной молодежи и определяющих ее факторов, а также в построении модели сегментации молодежи в зависимости от приоритетных смысловых конструктов.

In Poland, both, gender hierarchy restricting women’s sexuality and heteronormativity are rooted in traditional “family values” supported by the teachings of the Polish Catholic Church and attached to Polish national identity. Dissenters to traditional norms regulating gender and sexual relations are rejected as a threat to social order and national unity. Latent growth curve modeling performed on data from a 3-wave longitudinal study indicated linear, interrelated increases in authoritarianism; a desire for national cohesion; and rejection of sexual dissenters in the nationally representative sample of Polish participants (N = 889) as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic unfolded in Poland. Data were collected before and during the outbreak of the pandemic allowing us to link the changes in social attitudes to this naturally occurring threat. Cross-lagged panel analysis indicated that authoritarianism predicted desire for national cohesion, which resulted in rejection of dissenters. These results are in line with theoretical models of authoritarianism as a response to threat. They are also in line with findings linking death anxiety and the threat of infectious disease to increases in authoritarianism, traditional worldview defense, in-group cohesion and sexual restrictiveness. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved) Public Significance Statement—This study found that the average level of authoritarianism—a tendency to follow coercive leaders and traditional social norms—increased in response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Poland. This increase was followed by the amplified emphasis on national cohesion and resulted in the rejection of dissenters to traditional sexual norms. This suggests that the rights of sexual minorities and gender equality may be at risk in Poland during the times of increased threat of infectious disease.

Motherhood is political, fundamental to the social (re)production of values, norms, and culture. This chapter shows how the institution of Motherhood, “family values,” and traditional gender roles have been coopted by the rhetoric of the nation and institutionalized by the state as a site of difference, (re)producing Insiders and Outsiders, exclusionary logics of collectivity, and embodied national boundaries. The chapter first identifies and defines “biological” reproductive difference as the foundation of traditional sex/gender roles, particularly emphasizing the focus on procreation in normative femininity. Reproductive difference is foundational to Western patriarchal society and its definitions of kinship, family, and sociopolitical belonging. I differentiate the patriarchal institution of Motherhood and the active “mothering,” showing how the institution of Motherhood privileges heterosexual, reproductive sex and essentializes the (cisgender/heterosexual) female body as necessarily reproductive. This normative maternal identity is racialized and can be seen through the politics of reproductive fitness. I examine this through an analysis of differences in sterilization laws and practices across the globe. Sterilization is accessible and/or enforced differently based on one’s identity; gender/sexual orientation, race, class, and ability dictate both historically and in modern society voluntary and involuntary sterilization practices. Ultimately, I demonstrate that one of the products of the institution of Motherhood is a normative model of raced female sexuality: a necessarily reproductive, white female sexuality.
