Gender characteristics of adolescents' attitudes towards their parents

Abstract

The article presents the gender characteristics of the attitude of teenagers towards their parents in Armenia. The role and content of child-parent relations formulated by different psychological schools are discussed. The child-parent relationship is bipolar, where each of the poles, both parent and child, determines the origin and development of communication and cooperation between the child and parents, although of course the roles of the two participants in each undergo significant changes. The child's activity in the construction and development of parent-child relationships and determining their characteristics is quite high. There is virtually no social or psychological aspect of adolescent behavior that does not depend on their current or past family circumstances. The best relationships between teenagers and their parents usually develop when parents adhere to a democratic parenting style. This style promotes independence, activity, initiative and social responsibility.
The results of the study show that the attitude of adolescent boys towards their parents is more conflictual and tense, and the attitude of adolescent girls towards their parents is calm and compromising. The characteristics of their parents' parental attitude have an influence on the formation of attitudes towards parents of both sexes.
