SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS PREDICTING THE TIME PERSPECTIVE OF A MARRIED PERSON IN CONDITIONS OF FORCED SEPARATION

Abstract

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the socio-psychological factors of time perspective forecasting by a married person in conditions of forced separation. The socio-psychological factors of time perspective forecasting in married couples are allocated, namely: time attitudes (cognitive and affective assessments of one's own past, present, future), time orientations (the degree of orientation towards using the framework of the past, present or future to categorise the current life situation), experience of child-parental relationships (models of assessment of one's own past, present and future that a child learns from parents through interaction with them), individual psychological properties (type of temperament, character, personality traits: extraversion, attachment to others, self-control, increased emotionality, expressiveness), individual psychological situation (individual assessment of the present), demographic variables (demographic characteristics, country and type of settlement: childhood residence, residence after marriage, forced emigration), psychological readiness for marriage (motivation for marriage in the past: psychological readiness and ability to perform the roles of husband and wife, and then - father and mother), subjective family well-being (satisfaction with marriage in the present: specificity of the roles of husband and wife, father and mother), periodisation of the stages of marriage development (according to V. Satyr: a stage in marriage and tasks for overcoming the corresponding crisis, readiness and acceptance of changes, transition from one stage of family development to another, including the past, present and future of the family), adaptation in conditions of forced separation (subjective assessment of one's own past, present and future through socio-cultural and psychological adaptation in forced emigration).

It is emphasised that after the beginning of Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, new factors have emerged that affect the sense of time. The problem of time perspective is studied by both Ukrainian and foreign scholars. However, most studies focus on its impact on decision-making, the formation of specific behaviour and its connection with individual psychological characteristics. Instead, much less research is devoted to the analysis of socio-psychological factors that influence the formation of the time perspective itself.

The present study examines the question of what socio-psychological factors influence the time perspective of a married person in conditions of forced separation from his or her marriage partner.
