Abstract

The relevance of the topic lies in the study of the spiritual and social role of the mother in the Ukrainian family due to the crisis of the family in modern society. This crisis is manifested in the increase of divorces, fatherlessness, a free attitude toward sex before marriage, abortions, homosexual behavior, and a lack of trust and love between family members. Currently, during the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, Ukrainians are subjected to terrible sexual assaults, destruction, and abuse by the enemy. Because of this occupational war, the crisis in the family worsens even more. The study was conducted in 2021, before Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The sample included families living in Kyiv. It was advisable to experiment with 30 families who believe in God and 30 atheist families. The following methodical tools were used in the research: T. Alordey’s questionnaire, the method of ‘Normative resistance’ according to E. Eidemiller, and the projective method of ‘Draw-a-Family-Picture’. The aim of the research was to show a special vital resource of Christian mothers, which affects the creation of an atmosphere of love and respect in their families, in contrast to the vital resource of mothers in families that do not believe in God. This vital resource affects the performance of the role of the mother. As a result of the questionnaire, husbands’ understanding of the mother’s role in the family was studied. Christian and non-Christian men showed that most of them were grateful to their mothers. From the answers in the questionnaires, it is clear that the life principles that husbands learned from their mothers, they practice in their own families. This forms the authority of the wife in the family and affects the role of the mother. Normative resistance in mothers from non-believing families was not ascertained. These mothers considered terrible, negative situations to be normal. Mothers who confess Christ ascertain normative resistance. They make great efforts so that children grow up in an atmosphere of joy and mutual understanding. Analyzing the drawings of children from non-Christian families, one can see psychological and spiritual problems in families. The pictures reflect children’s experiences of conflicts in the family. An atmosphere of love and strong family relationships can be observed in the drawings of Christian children. Children have mothers who pray for them. The effectiveness of the ‘I am a mother’ training aimed at biological and social mothers is shown. The social mothers are preschool educators, schoolteachers, and academics in higher education institutions. Ukrainian mothers, teaching their children to love God and the motherland, positively influence society and form the spiritual, professional, and business cultures of the young generation. Christian families have a special, vital resource. This resource enables mothers to fully fulfill their spiritual and social roles in the family. During the war in Ukraine, such mothers laid the foundations of new values that affect the whole world.
母亲在乌克兰家庭中的精神和社会作用
由于现代社会的家庭危机,本专题的意义在于研究母亲在乌克兰家庭中的精神和社会作用。这种危机表现在离婚率的上升、无父无母、对婚前性行为的自由态度、堕胎、同性恋行为以及家庭成员之间缺乏信任和爱。目前,在俄罗斯对乌克兰发动的战争中,乌克兰人遭受了敌人可怕的性侵犯、破坏和虐待。由于这场职业战争,家庭危机更加恶化。这项研究是在 2021 年俄罗斯大规模入侵乌克兰之前进行的。样本包括居住在基辅的家庭。最好在 30 个信神家庭和 30 个无神论家庭中进行实验。研究中使用了以下方法工具:T. Alordey 的问卷调查法、E. Eidemiller 的 "规范抵抗 "法和 "绘制家庭图画 "的投射法。研究的目的是显示基督徒母亲的一种特殊重要资源,与不信神的家庭中母亲的重要资源相比,这种资源影响着在家庭中营造爱与尊重的氛围。这种重要资源影响着母亲角色的履行。通过问卷调查,研究了丈夫对母亲在家庭中作用的理解。基督徒和非基督徒男子都表示,他们中的大多数人都对母亲心存感激。从调查问卷的答案中可以看出,丈夫们从母亲那里学到的生活原则,在自己的家庭中也得到了实践。这就形成了妻子在家庭中的权威,并影响到母亲的角色。来自不信教家庭的母亲对规范的抵制并未得到证实。这些母亲认为可怕的、消极的情况是正常的。承认基督的母亲则认为正常的抵制是正常的。为了让孩子们在欢乐和相互理解的氛围中成长,她们付出了巨大的努力。通过分析非基督徒家庭儿童的绘画作品,我们可以看到家庭中存在的心理和精神问题。这些画反映了儿童在家庭冲突中的经历。在基督徒儿童的绘画中,可以看到爱的氛围和牢固的家庭关系。孩子们有为他们祈祷的母亲。针对亲生母亲和社会母亲的 "我是母亲 "培训效果显著。社会母亲是学前教育工作者、学校教师和高等教育机构的学者。乌克兰母亲教育子女爱上帝、爱祖国,对社会产生了积极影响,并形成了年轻一代的精神、职业和商业文化。基督徒家庭拥有特殊的重要资源。这一资源使母亲们能够在家庭中充分履行其属灵和社会角色。在乌克兰战争期间,这些母亲为影响整个世界的新价值观奠定了基础。
