摘要：AbstractIn the article the authors consider the process of upbringing as a purposeful influence of parents on their child. The sense-value attitudes to bringing up children are studied from point of view of presence or absence of experience in bringing up children and from the sex of parents. For this purpose the authors apply both valid psychological procedures and a specially developed questionnaire. According to their findings, women have more clearly defined irrational social attitudes irrespective of experience of bringing up children and are more disposed to self-sacrifice, whereas men are more strict and short-tempered parents. The authors conclude that attitude to the role in the family, optimal emotional contact, emotional distance to the child, and focus on the child differ in men and women, and also differ depending on presence or absence of experience in parenting. The leading role in upbringing process belongs to women. The revealed features of potential parents’ sense-value attitudes can predict their future upbringing strategies.
