IMAGES OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AMONG THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE “BABY-BOOMER” GENERATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the socio-psychological characteristics of the representatives of the “Baby-Boomer” generation, the identification of group differences in their collective memory and the features of the present and future representations. The sample consisted of 105 respondents aged from 56 to 70 years. The block of techniques contained 7 questionnaires. The results show that despite the considerable homogeneity of the socio-psychological characteristics of the representatives of the “Baby-Boomer” generation, various ways of constructing images of the present and the future among adherents of different representations of the history of the country were discovered.
