Abstract

Background. The results of the contemporary research on the psychological characteristics of graduates of closed institutions indicate that adolescents who are brought up in closed institutions have distorted ideas about the family and range from idealized to supernegative. After their graduating from closed institutions, the ideas about the family lie in the basis for establishing their own family, resulting in graduates creating reliable family relationships, leading an asocial lifestyle, sending their children to the same institutions that they have graduated from. The study of the causes of family image distortions in adolescents left without parental care will allow us to work with the causes and,  render aid help graduates of closed institutions to shape a complete, structured family image and thus help them socialize in the human community.

The Objective. Research on the relationship between identity and family image among graduates of closed institutions. We assumed that there is a connection between identity, in terms of its components, and the family image of graduates of closed institutions.

Design. The paper analyzes personal identity and the family image in closed institution graduates, as well as the relationship between the components of identity and the family image of graduates of closed institutions.

Results. The hypothesis was confirmed. The personal identity in terms of structural components (the communicative ‘self’ and the material ‘self’) is associated with the image of the family in closed institution graduates.

Conclusions.The study revealed the need to study the relationship between the components of personal identity and family image.
