- Abstract:
- The article is devoted to studying the features of interaction in young families where the spouses profess Islam and Orthodoxy. Muslim and Orthodox families also participated in the comparative study. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess differences in the indicators of these groups. The family sociogram (variants of a real family and an ideal family), the family environment scale, and the method «Analysis of family relationships» (a questionnaire for parents) by E.G. Eidemiller and V.V. Justickis, unstructured interview with the respondents were used as the research methods. It is established that family interaction in inter-confessional families is characterized by the preservation of the Patriarchal family hierarchy, relationships are maintained among members of the extended family, and an attitude towards preserving humanistic values is formed between the spouses. The spouses care for each other to a high level, and the partners have a strong sense of belonging to the family. Some violations in the styles of family education were revealed, namely, the presence of dominant hyperprotection, condoning hyperprotection, and moral responsibility. At the same time, condoning hyperprotection is more pronounced and more common in male fathers from interfaith families.
