Abstract
Aim. To study the main characteristics of child-parent interaction of adolescents from large families.
Methodology. The data of an empirical study of parent-child interaction between adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (boys and girls) from large families (families with three to seven children) using the "Parent-Child Interaction" methodology by I.M. Markovskaya. The characteristics of intra-family interaction were identified and analyzed according to the estimates of boys and girls aged 12 to 17 from large families in Moscow region. The results were processed using the SPSS.17 program.
Results. According to adolescents from large families, the following characteristics of parent-child interaction were found: undemanding, softness, i.e. the absence of harsh measures applied to children, emotional closeness to the parent, acceptance of the child's personal qualities, the presence of cooperation and consistency in interaction with mothers. Adolescents from large families give a positive assessment of the authority of their mothers and are satisfied with their relationship with them. The degree of severity of the average values of the interaction characteristics of adolescents from large families, both boys and girls, does not differ at the statistical level.
Research implications. The results of the study will serve as a basis for further study of child-parent interaction in various types of families in order to develop strategies for providing socio-psychological assistance to dysfunctional families and, as a result, will help improve the psychosocial functioning of families in difficult life situations, as well as increase the growth of full-fledged large families.
