Abstract:

The institution of the family in Russia is undergoing transformation, but in comparison with the family of Western society it remains a fairly traditional social institution. According to the results of sociological research, the moral values and moral norms preserved by older generations are oriented toward the performance of reproductive, educational, controlling, communicative, recreational, emotional functions in the process of socialization of new generations, but their content is adjusted by both family and external factors. The purpose of the work is to identify the specifics of the role of urban and rural families in the socialization of students of secondary specialized educational institutions (SVE). In the course of the study of the Russian Society of Sociologists "Cultural traditions and connections of generations" in 2022, students of the secondary vocational education in Russia, mainly studying in 1st–3rd courses (technical, socio-economic, natural sciences, humanities and other specialties), were interviewed. The survey was conducted using an online questionnaire via Google forms. The results were processed by the "Vortex" software package. From the entire population, students whose primary socialization took place in large cities/the capital of the Russian Federation (388 people) and in countryside/villages (365 people), were selected. The novelty of the study is that the respondents gave self-esteem and assessment of the generation of "fathers" and "grandfathers", which made it possible to identify a reflection of the dynamics of social changes in family society. The authors provide empirical data proving that modern families of students differ significantly from the families of their parents’ youth, and even more so the families of their grandparents. Young people use the experience of their relatives in their daily lives in a peculiar way. Some traditions and skills of generations, attributes of everyday life are becoming a thing of the past, becoming more and more exclusive in the new reality. The process of transformation of family relations is objective. The latest technologies, causing the emergence of new types of employment, changes in educational and communication institutions, an increase in the share of workers in the service sector, encouragement of migration, and the interpenetration of cultures are fundamentally new conditions for all stages of individual socialization.
