LATENT ETHNO-CULTURAL TRENDS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONS IN UDMURT AND KOMI-PERMIAN FAMILIES

Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of studying intergenerational transmission among peoples who have not lost their cultural values in the era of transitivity and seek to self-determine in a new ethno-cultural reality. The study was carried out from the standpoint of modern ethno-cultural anthropology, ethnology, synergetic historicism, which meet the modern requirements of post-nonclassical rationality. The possibilities of mathematical modeling were used in order to identify the latent tendencies of the studied processes. The study (late 2019 - early 2020) involved modern Finno-Ugric families (Udmurts, Komi-Permyaks) in comparison with relevant samples of Tatars and Russians who live in the Kama region (total of 138 mothers, 186 adolescents). The latent ethno-cultural tendencies of the modern intergenerational transmission in the Finno-Ugric families of the Kama region were revealed as a result of the use of surveys and methods for measuring cultural values (Sh. Schwartz), the peculiarities of intergenerational interaction in a family (I.M. Markovskaya), as well as the methods of mathematical statistics and Structural Equation Modeling. It was found that the relationship between generations is influenced in a synergistic effect by both group values of preserving traditions and individual values of independence of views and actions. Based on the data obtained, we can draw a conclusion about the potential resource readiness of the younger generation both for social changes and for maintaining the status quo in modern sociocultural society.
