Personality orientation of teenagers and their parents

The article deals with the problem of relationship between personality orientation of parents and their adolescent children. The theoretical analysis of the problem showed that the personality orientation may be determined by the dominant system of humanistic or pragmatic content motives. The role of the orientation of the parents' personality in the moral development of children lies in the actualization of the child's internal moral stimuli. An empirical study made it possible to establish that the dominant motives in adolescents, which determine the orientation of their personality, generally correspond to the personality orientation of their parents.
