Relationship between intergenerational transmission of values and psychological well-being of Russian teenagers in North Ossetia-Alania, Kabardino-Balkaria, Azerbaijan, and Latvia

On March 27 Galyapin V.N. took part in the "Culture matters" research seminar with the report on "Relationship between intergenerational transmission of values and psychological well-being of Russian teenagers in North Ossetia-Alania, Kabardino-Balkaria, Azerbaijan, and Latvia".


Previous studies have shown that psychological well-being is due to both intergenerational similarity, the transmission of values ​​(Hadjar et al., 2012; Demđrutku, 2007), and differences in the values ​​of parents and children (Bengtson, Kuypers, 1971, Grusec, Goodnow, 1994). It is also established that the intergenerational transmission of values ​​can have different meanings for the psychological well-being of adolescents - members of the ethnic minority and the majority. This study was aimed at identifying the interrelationship between the intergenerational transmission of values ​​and the psychological well-being of Russian adolescents who are an ethnic minority in four sociocultural contexts: the two republics of the Russian Federation (Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and Kabardino-Balkaria, Azerbaijan and Latvia The sample includes the triads, including the representative of the older generation (grandparent), the parent and the child from the same family: in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania N = 327, in the Kabardino-Balkaria N = 309, in Azerbaijan N = 315 and in Latvia N = 336. The results of multigroup analysis showed no structural invariance for all models, which allowed us to conclude that the interrelationships between the intergenerational transmission of values ​​and the psychological well-being of Russian adolescents differ in the four investigated sociocultural contexts.
