The structural organization of a man’s family identity

Abstract

In the context of changing the role structure of the modern family and the egalitarization of marital relations, the study of the family self-consciousness of a man as a subjective psychological reality is relevant. Family self-consciousness is a projection of a man’s self-consciousness on the family sphere, which allows him to realize himself as a member of the family, the subject of family relations. The aim of the study is to study the structural organization and content content of the family self-consciousness of a man. Analyzing the results of an empirical study, the author comes to the conclusion that the structure of a man’s family self – consciousness is represented by three interrelated components-cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. At the same time, each of the components has a unique content content that reflects the peculiarities of a man’s awareness of himself in the family, the attitude to himself as a family member, the family roles and functions performed.
