Parenthood motivation as a condition of responsible attitude to the implementation of the social role "parent"

Abstract

The article reflects the results of implementing an empirical approach to the study of parenting motivation as a personal education, particularly its impact on parents' effective implementation of their main social role - raising a child. Based on the results of a theoretical analysis of research by scientists, both in the field of the motivational sphere of the individual and the aspect of responsible "parenting", considering parenting, on the one hand, as a complex, integrative education, which includes knowledge in the field of organizing an effective process of education and development children, value orientations, attitudes and expectations of parents in relation to their child, and, on the other hand, as a subsystem of the family, which implies not only the unity of the spouses' ideas about parenting but also the implementation of these ideas within the framework of the effective implementation of their social role as a "parent", we have designed and implemented a program for studying parenting motivation.
