PSYCHOLOGY OF RELATIONS IN THE FAMILY OF BOYS AND GIRLS DEPENDENT ON SMOKING

Abstract

The article is devoted to the actual problem of nicotine-dependent boys’ and girls’ family relations and those who don’t smoke. The features of attitude to parents of the two groups of respondents are studied. The quality of tactile contact between them when infants and their mothers is assessed. Empirical research enabled to state that in contrast to non-smokers tobacco smokers note the fragmentary nature of physical contact with mothers in childhood. Youngsters-smokers consider their mum and dad to be important people significantly more often than non-smoking subjects. Young people who smoke tobacco expect more attention from their own fathers. Girls-smokers emancipate from their mothers to a greater extent than non-smoking respondents.
