MODELS OF MODERN FAMILY FUNCTIONING AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARENTS’ VALUE-SENSE SETTINGS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the topic of determination of interrelations of the value-semantic setting and models of family interaction. This research was conducted by testing 220 people using three questionnaires to define settings and types of family systems according to D. H. Olson. The author performed the factor analysis of indices and correlation analysis of the two groups: men and women. The correlation analysis shows statistically important interrelations between defined choice of family interaction and unique settings. The results of the analysis are shown in the proposed tables. The tendencies for changing family models towards “merging” are indicated, based on the analysis of the “real” and “desired” model of the family system.
