The relevance of the issue under study is caused by the need to form a new socio-psychological paradigm in the field of environmental education. It was clearly shown by the beginning of the new millennium, that the current environmental education is based on analytical knowledge of nature, which is pragmatically narrow and consumer-oriented, and therefore it could not fundamentally change the worldview of a significant part of the population. As a result, there is an objective need for a transition to a qualitatively new stage in its development. The purpose of the article is to determine the socio-psychological factors that contribute to and hinder the formation of eco-vocational consciousness of students. The study methods: The leading method for studying this issue is modeling, which allows considering the socio-psychological factors that contribute to and hinder the purposeful formation of eco-vocational consciousness structural components. The article identifies the main factors contributing to the process of eco-vocational consciousness formation: the need for a value orientation for the co-evolution of man and the biosphere; the ability of the individual of perceiving, experiencing and comprehension the relationship between the current environmental situation and occupational activities; the willingness of specialists to consciously implement environmentally reasonable occupational activities; public interest in the knowledge, transformation and maintenance of the environment in optimal condition and other significant factors. The factors that prevent the formation of eco-vocational consciousness are identified: the absence of a state customer for an ecologically-oriented vocational education; weak linkage of environmental training with vocational training; poor scientific and methodical provision of environmental orientation in vocational training, theoretical and methodical foundations for organizing the integration of environmental and vocational training; the need to coordinate and manage the system of electronic training, the creation of didactic complexes, appropriate methods. The data obtained in the work can be used in education to build effective educational programs for the development of eco-vocational consciousness; in practical psychology, in ecological psychology, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.

The problem of creating a family, namely, the new configuration of marriage and intimate relations - unregistered marriage is becoming increasingly important in modern society. Unregistered marriage is the most common and socially approved model for organizing family life, taking into account the large similarity with a registered marriage. Young men and girls are currently not in a hurry to have families and children, but create so-called unregistered marriages. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to allocate the leading motives for creating just such a form of marriage among student youth, rather than traditionally accepted in Russia. The leading method of researching this problem is an indepth interview, which allows considering this problem and identifying the particular practices and problems of living in an unregistered marriage of students. The article presents the results of a study of the students' attitude towards unregistered marriage. It was revealed that the basis of unregistered marriage in most cases is the psychological unwillingness of partners to take full responsibility for the family. Most couples surveyed said that they plan to have children only in a formal marriage, since most of the girls surveyed would not feel legally protected, giving birth to a child in an unregistered marriage. The data obtained in the work can be used in family counseling, in family centers by practicing psychologists and teachers, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue, since the problem of various types of marriage and family relations is quite relevant today. This is a new area, where there are still many unresolved issues that require further study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance of this article lies in the need to study the communication strategies of spouses in conditions of forced self-isolation during quarantine, since the features of communication between spouses affect the degree of constructiveness of marital relationships. In a difficult situation of uncertainty, when the question is not clear: about the virus itself, about the time of the end of quarantine and the financial side of family life, many family members have an emotional reaction to each other, disputes and unsolvable conflicts arise, some of which end in a breakup or quarrels between spouses, parents and children. The aim of the study is to identify the features of communication between spouses during the period of self-isolation. Research methods: as a research method, a questionnaire survey was used to identify the features of communication between spouses as a factor of constructive marital relationships in conditions of self-isolation due to quarantine. The novelty and originality of the study lies in the fact that the features of communication between spouses during forced self-isolation are considered for the first time. It is shown that ego positions, communicative control, listening skills, and the ability to establish emotional contacts in relationships affect the degree of constructiveness of marital relationships. It was found that in a stressful situation of uncertainty related to the coronavirus quarantine, all strategies, both adaptive and non-adaptive (aggression, irritability, manipulation, illness, depression), developed by the family members during their joint family life deteriorate, when these family members spend a lot of time together in a closed space during the quarantine and when they do not have personal psychological spaces (which are required for all people). Men often have a tendency to drink alcohol. It was revealed that during the period of forced self-isolation under quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, families with a constructive type of relationship are characterized by a coincidence of representative systems, and spouses have similar systems for searching, receiving and processing information. It is determined that the ability to control behavior in relationships in a situation of forced self-isolation, the ability to use the psychotherapeutic function of communication between family members, the skill of mood management, is also characteristic of families with a constructive type of relationship. Practical significance: the data obtained in this work can be used in family psychology, extreme psychology, social psychology, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.
