Indicators Of Children`S World Images And Different Generations Parents With Peculiar Relationships

Abstract

There is a problem of the transfer of experience of the older generation to the younger one. The question is: what features are common and different in the mentality of the generations of parents and children. The typology of the Russian generations is presented: there are traditional, transitional, information and new generations who have their own specific historical events of life and the type of mentality. According to the scientists the new generation is characterized by living in a networked reality, video thinking, increased anxiety and responsibility and the desire for comfort. The subjects under study have been parents (N=70) and children, visiting kindergarten (N=35). The following methods are used: the gauge of the mentality of generations, the method of identification of a value conditionality of social identification, the projective method "World picture" and the questionnaire of parental relations to children. It is found out that the parents identify themselves with transitional generation, the generation of transitional and innovation mentality and with media generation, the generation of innovation mentality. The parents of transitional generation show "an authoritarian hypersocialization" in their attitude to the children. In most cases, the parents of information generation show "a cooperative attitude to the child." The image of the parent’s world of transitional generations shows the most characteristic differences in terms of the orientation (collectivism–individualism). The children of the parents of information generation show such indicators of the world image as simplicity, individualism, dynamics, personalization, specificity and irrationality.
