Forming the gender attitudes of pre-school children in one-parent families.

Abstract

The research objective is to determine the social-psychological factors of forming the gender attitudes in pre-school children from one-parent families. The leading empirical method of research is studying the style of upbringing and personal characteristics of 78 mothers and the gender attitudes of their children from one-parent families. The role-gender preferences are formed insufficiently in pre-school children of authoritarian and indifferent parents compared to the children of liberal parents. In children of authoritarian parents, the tendency to changing the gender identification and manifestation of passionarity is observed.
