https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2022-3-1119
Abstract
Aim. To study the family structure specifics in Yakut mentality.
Methodology. The article presents the results of the projection technique “Family Sociogram" conducted as part of psychological consultations at the Center of Active longevity.
Results. The study revealed the following features of Yakut family: the family is understood as a kindred consisting of sibling families of ancestors. Yakut families are characterized by a stable connection of adult children with their parents, even after the creation of their own families by adult children. The structure of Yakut family has a clear generation division: grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. The next distinguishing feature is the recognition of the independence of the son-in-law/daughter-in-law.
Research implications. The use of the projection method in the mentality study will help to reveal the deep features of Yakut mentality. The study results can be used in the practice of psychological counseling.
