Abstract: Yanitskyi M.Z, Picha V.M, Conflicts in the families of modern schoolchildren. Master’s thesis. - Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2020. Extended abstract. The family occupies a priority place in the hierarchy of vital human values, say sociologists. Most modern sociologists agree with the statement that men and women consider the family a higher value for themselves. The family is a unique social institution, a mediator between the individual and society. It has a powerful potential to influence the processes of social development, reproduction of the labor force, the formation of civil relations. The family has a consolidating value, resists social confrontation and tension. At the same time, marital and family relations in modern Ukraine are undergoing profound changes. Crisis phenomena in the family are manifested in its instability. In large cities, more than 50% of marriages break up (in some places the divorce rate reaches 70%) (State Statistics Service). And in more than a third of families that break up, life together lasted from several months to 4 years. Family conflicts, family instability reduce parental authority. This affects the ability to form new families, the health of adults and children, and affects the relationship to the family as a whole. Therefore, the study of family conflicts, constant measurement of the level and causes of conflicts is becoming one of the important tasks of sociology. Study object of study of this thesis is family conflict as a social phenomenon. Scopeof research - the causes and factors that cause conflicts in the families of modern schoolchildren in Ukraine. Goal of research is to consider theoretical approaches and the application of empirical possibilities of sociology to study the causes of conflicts in the families of modern students (their prevention and resolution). After processing the data, you can perform an interpretation that shows us that: - a significant factor in the occurrence of conflicts is the level of education of parents, the data confirm that the higher the level of education of parents, the less often there are conflicts with children; - the child’s quarrels with his mother and father are almost identical in origin, but have their differences, quarrels over school performance occur more often between father and child, and with the mother, largely due to the division of household responsibilities; - the data show that the relationship between the number of quarrels and the financial situation of the family of a modern family is almost non-existent. - most often, quarrels in families arise due to the division of household responsibilities and the organization of free time. Key words: conflict, consensus, family, dispute, modern schoolchildren. List of used literature sources 1. State Statistics Service [Electronic resource] // Access mode - http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua
