The influence of family stability on formation of values orientations and teenager`s self-determination

Complexity of the current social changes is reflected in the formation of mass consciousness of various social groups and, in particular, of the youth. The teens is а period of intensive formation of values orientations, which guide people all their lives and precede the choice of purposes, they are formed at the beginning of life and allow the person to enter the self-determination process. The formation of this important person's constituent occurs in the process of socialisation and, first of all, under the influence of families. Sociological researches confirm that various characteristics of family (stability, distribution of matrimonial roles, educational level of parents, etc.) are factors of teenagers' self-determination roles. This article introduces the results of the research. There are basic parameters of family stability and the influence of this level on formation of values orientations of 9-11-grade schoolboys of Tomsk town (the research was done in spring 2008). During the research the authors had a hypothesis that a stable family forms a set of some vital guidelines in a person and prepare for the future family roles, which an unstable family cannot provide in full measure. The correlation between the hierarchies of values orientations of teenagers depends on the level of stability or instability of their families. Also, forming and developing of some values such as wish to study, care about one's own health, love and respect in family determine family socialisation results
