Abstract
The evolution of the perception of family values among modern youth in the sociocultural space is described. It examines how contemporary social influences, including secular education and consumerist culture, affect attitudes toward family formation, its functions, and responsibilities. An empirical research method was employed through an online survey distributed to 380 students from Moscow Polytechnic University. It was structured into three thematic blocks: (1) conceptual understanding of the family and value orientations, (2) individual family situations of the respondents, and (3) family traditions and attitudes toward divorce. The results reveal that, despite dominant individualistic and consumerist trends, 82.6% of respondents still consider family formation a central life goal. The perception of family structure has changed, and only 69.8% affirm the need for a two-parent household. A notable percentage prioritizes professional careers and personal fulfillment over early marriage, and many delay family formation until a later age. The study highlights concern about rising divorce rates, citing lack of mutual understanding (73.6%) and infidelity (11.5%) as the main causes. The results allow for a broad understanding of family dynamics and the challenges facing social cohesion, providing relevant insights for social work and interdisciplinary studies on family stability and the preservation of values.
