PECULIARITIES OF INTRAFAMILIAL RELATIONS OF MARRIED COUPLE WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT

Abstract

The article theoretically investigates and experimentally identifies
the impact of professional activities of spouses associated
with increased employment on the peculiarities of relationships
and conflicts in the family. Theoretical approaches to the study
of changes in family roles in connection with the professional
activities of spouses are analyzed. It has been experimentally established
that high employment of spouses in professional activities
has a negative impact on their marital relations: the level
of conflict, the sphere of interaction, marital satisfaction and
its stability. The resulting scatter and variability of indicators
is explained by the use of subjective assessments of the spouses
of their marriage. The highest level of conflict in families where
men and women have high professional employment in professional
activities was found in the areas of: role-playing, mutual
awareness, leisure. In families where wives have a higher employment
rate than husbands, the level of conflict is higher in all
areas of marital interaction. The data obtained indicate that the
process of adaptation of spouses to the new conditions of professional
activity associated with high professional employment, the requirements of corporate traditions, and others. The reasons are
difficult and pose a number of serious problems for spouses (the
number of stable families decreases, the number of unstable and
even troubled families increases).
