Psychological Features of Students’ Self-Attitude in the Context of Child-Parent Relations

The article examines the psychological characteristics of students’ self-attitude in the context of parent-child relationships. Attention is focused on the styles of child-parent interactions in family and the interpersonal manifestations of parents in relationships with children. Their relationship with the child’s self-attitude is studied in projection into the adult personality. It has been established that such styles as overprotectiveness and the threatening-derogatory style increase internal conflict and self-blame. The development of positive components of self-attitude is associated with the trust in the “real” mother and the idea of the “ideal” father as dominant, generous, cooperative, and friendly. The possibilities for further research into students’ self-attitude in the context of parent-child relationships are identified.
