Abstract

 This article is devoted to the study of representations of men of two family generations.Research has demonstrated sustainability of the concepts ofadult male of the family as an important value of life, supported by family traditions. It is proved immutability representations of men about women's role (which has to be a good mother and give support to man in moral way) and her husband (who provides her financially) in family life. Recreational function has appeared as typical characteristic of all men. Reproductive and material function turned to the distinction in perceptions between generations of the family, which are rigidly fixed-link in older generation, and broadcast through the planning function in junior generation. Sexual function has appeared estimated by the young generation as usual and appropriate just for their age: young people do not see its relevance in older age.

 Instead, thanks to the group of «parents», it has been proved that the formation of family subculture becomes more weight in a situation of separation of young families from original. In group «sons» the issue of separated residence has no such weight as for the older generation that may indicate a change in their perceptions of quality of life in the changed social conditions. The fact that the younger generation puts under revision the importance of education in planning their life in contrast to the previous one, which treated education as indestructible valuation basis of the quality of life, may indicate a change in the social situation. The study says that the family is the value of modern man: it just changes its shape according to the social conditions of life and its quality characteristics.

 Keywords: family; generation functions of the family; husband; quality of life; social representation; spouse; wife.
