1 Test to identify psychological compatibility (based on the Raymond KATTELL test) Raymond CATTELL's multifactor personality questionnaire is universal, practical, and provides multifaceted information about personality. The questions in it reflect ordinary life situations. The questionnaire diagnoses personality traits (factors). It is used in all situations where it is necessary to know the individual psychological characteristics of a person. Therefore, in our case, this test is an indispensable assistant in the formation of a “mentor young specialist” pair (at the same time, we suggest not limiting ourselves only to this method of psychodiagnostics; this test is just an example of this type of activity). The shortened version of the questionnaire contains 105 questions. The answers are recorded on a special questionnaire and then calculated using a key. A match with the answer key “a” and “c” is assessed with two points, a match with answers “c” with one point. The sum of points for each selected group of questions results in the value of the factor. The exception is factor B, where any match between the answer and the key gives 1 point. Thus, the maximum score for each factor is 12 points, for factor B 8 points, and the minimum score is 0 points. The following blocks of factors are identified: intellectual characteristics: factors B, M, Q1; emotional-volitional characteristics: factors C, G, I, O, Q3, Q4; communicative properties and features of interpersonal interaction: factors A, H, F, E, N, L, Q2. Instructions. When answering each question, you must choose one of three proposed answers. To do this, put a cross in the corresponding box on the answer form (the left box corresponds to the answer “a”, the middle one corresponds to the answer “c”, the cell on the right corresponds to the answer “c”).

1. To study the compatibility of spouses, the W. Schutz Interpersonal Relations Questionnaire was used.

2. For express diagnostics of the degree of satisfaction - dissatisfaction with the marriage, as well as the degree of agreement - mismatch of satisfaction among spouses, the method of V.V. was used. Stolina, T.L. Romanova, G.P. Butenko.

3. To study the consistency of family values ​​and role settings in a married couple, the method “Determination of the consistency of family values ​​and role settings in a married couple” by A.N. was used. Volkova.

4. To study the characteristics of interpersonal interaction between spouses, the test “Self-assessment of constructive interaction in marital relationships” was used.

5. To determine the type of temperament, in order to diagnose the psychophysiological compatibility of spouses, the method of determining the type of temperament by G. Eysenck was used.

Questionnaire of Interpersonal Relations by W. Schutz (Appendix A).

The W. Schutz questionnaire allows you to obtain data on the social-need (interpersonal) compatibility of spouses in the form of total compatibility indices. It is assumed that the three types of needs (inclusion, control, affect) that the questionnaire scales measure are essentially social (to be involved in and maintain relationships; to control the behavior of others and make decisions; to create close relationships), because determine the behavior of an individual specifically in situations of interpersonal interaction and communication.

The questionnaire is aimed at diagnosing various aspects of interpersonal relationships. An individual's behavior is assessed in three areas of interpersonal needs: inclusion (I), control (C), and affect (A). Each domain is divided into expressed (e) and required (w) behavior.

The questionnaire contains 6 scales, 54 tasks (9 points per scale).

Questionnaire scales:

1e - pronounced behavior in the area of ​​inclusion (the desire to attract attention, interest in oneself, to be involved in relationships, to enter various social groups, to be among people).

Iw - required behavior in the field of inclusion (the desire for others to be interested in the individual, to invite the individual to take part in their activities and to strive to communicate with him).

Se - pronounced behavior in the field of control (the desire to control and influence others, to take leadership into one’s own hands, to determine what will be done and how).

Cw - required control behavior (the desire for others to control the individual, influence him and tell him what and how to do).

Ae - pronounced behavior in the area of ​​affect (the desire to be in close, intimate relationships with others, to show friendly, warm feelings towards them).

Aw is the required behavior in the area of ​​affect (the desire for others to be closer to the individual).

Further, when analyzing the data, attention is paid to the ratio, a combination of points on the main scales, which allows you to calculate the index of the volume of interactions (e + w) and the index of inconsistency of interpersonal behavior (e - w) within and between individual areas of interpersonal needs. The data obtained also make it possible to determine the coefficient of mutual compatibility in the Dyad. It is calculated as follows; if we denote the expressed achievement of individual A in a particular area by the symbol e1, and of individual B by the symbol e2, and the required behavior of these individuals is w1 and w2, respectively, then the compatibility coefficient has the form K = [e1 - w2] + [e2 - w1] .

The nature of marital relations largely depends on the degree of consistency between the family values ​​of the husband and wife and role ideas about who and to what extent is responsible for the implementation of functions in a certain family sphere. The adequacy of the role behavior of spouses depends on the compliance of role expectations (the attitude of the husband and wife to the active fulfillment of family responsibilities by the partner) with the role aspirations of the spouses (the personal readiness of each partner to fulfill family roles).

Marriage Satisfaction Questionnaire (V.V. Stolin, T.L. Romanova, G.P. Butenko) (Appendix B).

Marital satisfaction was measured using the method of V.V. Stolin, which has a high correlation with other methods for marital satisfaction and high reliability of the results.

When developing the questionnaire, the authors proceeded from the thesis that the main factor holding marital unions together is emotional ties - love, emotional attachment. In accordance with this, it can be assumed that subjective satisfaction - dissatisfaction with marriage by its nature is more likely a generalized emotion, a generalized experience, rather than a consequence of a rational assessment of the success of a marriage according to certain parameters.

Initial data:

Marital satisfaction test scores for husband and wife;

Total coefficients of interpersonal compatibility of spouses;

Score indicators of the consistency of family values ​​and roles in various areas of family life.

Methodology “Determining the consistency of family values ​​and role settings in a married couple” by A. N. Volkova (Abbreviated name - ROP) (Appendix B).

This technique, developed by A. N. Volkova, is part of a comprehensive program of practical work with a married couple.

The ROP technique allows you to determine:

1. Spouses’ ideas about the importance of sexual relations in family life, the personal community of husband and wife, parental responsibilities, professional interests of each spouse, household services, moral and emotional support, and the external attractiveness of partners. These indicators, reflecting the main functions of the family, constitute a scale of family values.

2. Spouses’ ideas about the desired distribution of roles between husband and wife in the implementation of family functions, united by a scale of role expectations and aspirations.

Despite the fact that this technique is used more often in consulting work, and in scientific research much less frequently, nevertheless, with its help it is possible to determine the consistency of family values ​​and role attitudes in a married couple separately for men and women, and based on the average results, make specific conclusions.

Test “Self-assessment of constructive interaction in marital relationships” (Appendix D).

The technique is a blank test - a questionnaire containing a description of 15 situations of marital interaction that are of a conflict nature.

As an answer, respondents (subjects) are offered a scale of possible reactions to a certain situation, which includes 5 possible options. The left pole of the scale is the greatest expression of agreement, a consonant, neutral attitude, an expression of disagreement and, finally, the right pole is an active expression of disagreement.

Personality questionnaire of G. Eysenck (Appendix E).

We considered it necessary to include in our study a test to determine the type of temperament as a tool for diagnosing psychophysiological compatibility. This technique is intended to determine the degree of extroversion and introversion, as well as neuroticism and emotional stability; it also has a lie scale to increase validity: if the subject receives a high score on the lie scale, he takes the test again. However, all these components of temperament are interpreted in more detail during individual or family counseling; in mass research, the specifics are somewhat different, and to analyze the results, general characteristics of the type of temperament are more needed.

When statistically processing the results obtained, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used

The Spearman rank correlation method allows you to determine the closeness (strength) and direction of the correlation between two characteristics or two profiles (hierarchies) of characteristics.

Calculation of the Spearman rank correlation coefficient consists of the following steps:

1. Ranking of features in ascending order.

2. Determination of the difference in ranks of each pair of compared values, d=dx-dy.

3. Square the difference di and find the total sum, ?d2.

4. Calculation of the rank correlation coefficient using the formula:

where d 2 - squared differences between ranks; N is the number of features involved in the ranking.

When using the rank correlation coefficient, the closeness of the connection between characteristics is conditionally assessed, considering coefficient values ​​equal to 0.3 or less as indicators of weak connection; values ​​more than 0.4, but less than 0.7 are indicators of moderate closeness of connection, and values ​​of 0.7 or more are indicators of high closeness of connection. The level of significance is determined using a special table.

Thus, in the study we used five different methods to identify various aspects of family relationships necessary to confirm or refute the thesis of the hypothesis.


Psychological compatibility can be expressed by general, integrative indicators that characterize the psychological state of the group in various areas of activity and communication. In practice, there have been three main approaches to obtaining these indicators:
a) sociometric;
b) experimental;
c) test.
The basis of the sociometric approach is the study of the nature and characteristics of interpersonal relationships in the process of group formation and during joint activities and the degree of “psychological comfort” of a person’s position in the group. The term “sociometry” itself means the measurement of interpersonal relationships in a group. The founder of the sociometry method was the famous American psychiatrist and social psychologist J. Moreno.
The totality of interpersonal relationships in a group constitutes, according to Moreno, that primary psychological structure, the characteristics of which largely determine not only the holistic
the state of the group, but also the mental state of the person. Within the framework of the sociometric approach, a large number of methods have been developed to date based on questionnaires, surveys, methods of competent judges, expert assessments, etc., which allow one-step determination of the “photograph” of the group structure, and multi-step determination of the nature of its change. At the same time, taking into account the objective complexity of measuring any socio-psychological phenomenon, a mathematical apparatus was introduced into the methods, which makes it possible to increase the diagnostic value of the measurement and the comparability of the results obtained.
The experimental approach is based on the assertion that experiment as an activity is a type of human practice, due to which the experimental act acquires the properties of a criterion of truth. Leaving aside the theory of experiment and the history of its development as a method of cognition (these issues are widely covered in philosophical and general psychological literature), let us briefly dwell on the features of the use of experimental methods in the study of groups and collectives for the needs of economic management.
The penetration of technical means of communication between people into social and psychological research has made it possible to significantly expand the capabilities of the experimental method, creating a real prospect for modeling increasingly complex phenomena by a group of activities. The development of this trend led to the development and use of the homeostatic principle in socio-psychological experiment.
alt="" />The basis for the development of the homeostatic technique was F.D. Gorbov’s observation of the operation of a shower installation in one of the medical institutions. This installation had four cabins, but the diameter of the pipes did not provide enough hot water for everyone washing. When four people entered the booths at the same time, it was possible to observe various washing actions taken to create a condition close to optimal (comfortable). Trying to achieve the best conditions by one person led to the fact that it caused a quick response from the rest of those washing. They began to turn the taps, as a result of which either cold or excessively hot water fell on the first one. Only at the cost of abandoning egocentric tendencies was it possible to regulate a regime acceptable to everyone, which required considerable effort on the part of all participants in the experiment. Even if one of them
tried to create advantages for himself, the system lost stability and all four left the shower dissatisfied.
From this experiment, it was concluded that purposeful interconnected activity is more effective, the smaller the scope of oscillatory processes in it. Therefore, the compatibility of a group can be assessed based on whether a given level of equilibrium is established or not established in the system. Thus, an active and effective group that quickly established equilibrium can be characterized as stable, having homeostatic features of adaptation. In accordance with these requirements, the so-called homeostatic technique was created. Experimentally, a situation close to a “shower” was reproduced on a specially designed device, which was called a homeostat.
With the creation of the homeostat, its widespread use in research began. Without dwelling on the technical description and principle of operation of various homeostats, we only note that the creation of homeostatic technical devices can be based on any principle: mechanical, electrical, optical, electronic, etc. The technical system being created must have a basic regulation “state of equilibrium - imbalance." In this case, the control of the adjustment and the expression of its quantitative characteristics, measured by instruments (counters, recorders, etc.) in certain units (measures of length, angle of deflection, magnitude of electric current, number of pulses, light intensity, etc.) are of decisive importance. ). The design of homeostats can be very diverse - from a complex used permanently in laboratory conditions to lightweight portable devices designed to solve relatively basic issues directly at the workplace.
The homeostatic method has the following main advantages:
a) is relatively simple and effective method laboratory research of applied problems of individuals, groups and teams;
b) allows the use of portable devices with a simplified methodology for obtaining operational, integrative applied information in natural conditions under
assessing the effectiveness of various working groups;
c) allows the use of mathematical methods and computers to control the experiment and subsequent analysis of the information obtained.
The main drawback limiting the use of homeostats in socio-psychological measurements is the presence of an intermediate mechanical link in the connections between members of the groups being studied. An attempt to overcome this shortcoming has been made in the works of a number of our psychologists, who propose various models of joint group activity using specially designed integrators that simulate the real activities of work groups.

UNDERSTANDING
To be productive, a work team of men and women needs to be in a productive mindset. Empathic listening training can help with this.
Time - 1.5 hours.
The place is a classroom.
Procedure. The group is divided into two subgroups (one with men, the other with women). The training participants sit in a circle. Someone sits in the center of the circle. The manager asks this person to speak on the topic “A man in a work group of men and among women” or “A woman in a work group of women and among men.” The monologue should last up to 10 minutes. Group members are required to listen with full attention, not argue, not interrupt
EACH OTHER
beat the speaker. If he speaks for less than 10 minutes, then at the end of the speech he must sit silently. After ten minutes, another participant takes a place in the center of the circle, etc.
In a mature group, the exercise is carried out in such a way that men and women take turns speaking.
The topic of the statement is very significant for every employee. Labor productivity in mixed groups depends on the business mood of men and women. This is helped by stereotypes that develop in the process of listening and speaking.

Despite the complexity of the proposed devices and the sophistication of the techniques used on them, experimental methods are still limited in their capabilities. In addition, in practice they are often quite difficult to apply. In this regard, experimental methods for measuring and assessing compatibility remain so far only laboratory ones. In practice, semi-

Chile distribution of empirical instrumental methods. The word instrumental in this case is used in the sense of test.
First of all, this is a method for determining the value-orientation unity of a group (COE). This method determines the level of psychological development of the group, while it is postulated that the higher this level, the higher the degree of cohesion. The procedure here is extremely simple. Each group member is offered a list of personality traits that characterize him from different aspects: from the attitude to work, from the attitude to the norms of public morality, from the forms of behavior. Individuals must select from this list five traits that they consider most important for an individual in a group. If all group members choose the same qualities, then the COE acquires the maximum possible value and compatibility is then assessed as the highest. If there is a scatter in the choice of qualities, then the degree of compatibility is assessed as tending to a minimum.
Quite valuable information about the degree of compatibility is obtained using a semantic differential, which is a system of polar profiles (up to 20 lines):
Pessimist Suspicious Egoist, etc.
The procedure consists of three measurements:
a) drawing an average personality profile for each member of the work group (everyone evaluates each other);
b) drawing the average profile of the group;
c) comparison of the group profile with individual profiles and assessment of the degree of compatibility of the group. These measurements, in addition, can serve as the basis for organizing group communication training and the starting point for self-education by each member of the work group.
As indicated, interpersonal compatibility often depends on the degree to which an individual is accepted by group members. It has been empirically proven that people with high self-esteem are considered unacceptable. If this turns out to be the formal leader, then the level of compatibility of the group will be lower.
married As you can see, knowledge of people’s self-esteem provides certain information about the level of compatibility.
Questionnaires, questionnaires, and blank tests are widely used to assess the level of self-esteem. Here's one of them.
The form contains 20 different personality traits. The subject in column (No. 1) ranks these qualities (from 1 to 20) depending on how he likes them. Then, in another column (No. 2), he ranks the qualities relative to himself, that is, he determines to what extent they are inherent in him. Next, the difference (d) of each quality between columns (No. 1 and No. 2) is calculated. This difference is squared (d) and the total sum (X) is calculated. Then the correlation coefficient is calculated using the formula:
g (p2 - p)p
The closer the coefficient approaches one, the higher the self-esteem. A value of 0.7 is considered high. An individual who receives such a coefficient can be considered unacceptable. If the formal leader turns out to be such, then there may be no interpersonal compatibility in the group. Those who have very low self-esteem are also unacceptable.
Interpersonal compatibility is often determined by temperamental characteristics. Moreover, the components of temperament influence both compatibility in reactions and pace of activity (which is important for workers in assembly line sections), and compatibility in the management system. The type of temperament can be quite successfully determined using the G. Eysenck questionnaire (by the way, along with the full set of two questionnaires with 57 questions, a truncated version, including 12 questions, works quite well).
If the interpretation of the data obtained from the questionnaire for conveyor section workers, carried out on the basis of the principle of complementarity (mutual complementarity), does not cause difficulties, then such an interpretation for the management system is complicated by a great many variables. However, evaluation of the obtained data using a questionnaire based on logical

analysis makes it possible to advance in this matter. With this approach, it is possible to solve the problem of determining compatibility, for example, between the first manager and his deputies. The general scheme of 10 factors, obtained by summarizing surveys of students of the Academy of National Economy, the most favorable combinations of various qualities in the general director and chief engineer may turn out to be the same as given in the table.

General Director Sanguine Phlegmatic Choleric Authoritative, demanding tough Assumes collective decisions Prefers to make decisions individually Sociable Self-confident Stubborn Hot-tempered
Chief engineer Sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic Sanguine or choleric Sanguine or phlegmatic Prone to collective action, executive Decisiveness, activity, initiative
Thoughtful, reasonable, not prone to haste
Silent
Self-critical
Compliant
Restrained

The compatibility of a manager with his deputies, as well as with the entire workforce in general, has been shown to be largely determined by his commitment to a very specific leadership style. In this regard, when planning the selection of the first manager, it is advisable to include an assessment of the selected candidates according to their acquired style of dealing with people, decision-making, communication, and educational actions. For this purpose, you can use the methods known to us.
Questions to clarify the problem What is the essence of psychological compatibility? What types of compatibility are usually distinguished?
How should the phenomenon of compatibility be taken into account when forming working groups and management units?
How to assess the degree of compatibility of workers in work collectives and work groups?
How do known methods of measuring and assessing psychological compatibility “work”?

When a family experiences a crisis, marital relationships, as well as relationships in other subsystems, are adversely affected by various stressors. Moreover, the crisis period in which the family as a whole is in may be superimposed by a crisis in marital relations associated with dynamic processes occurring specifically in the marital subsystem. For example, a family crisis caused by the birth of a child may coincide in time with a crisis in marital relations for 3-7 years.

A psychologist-consultant can obtain the necessary information that allows him to give a qualified assessment of the relationship between spouses not only through a specially organized conversation during the counseling process, but also with the help of standardized diagnostic procedures aimed at studying various aspects of the relationship between partners in marriage.

When diagnosing marital relationships, the following tasks can be solved:

1. Studying the characteristics of communication in a married couple: the “Communication in the Family” questionnaire (Yu. E. Aleshina, L. Ya. Gozman, E. M. Dubovskaya), etc.

2. Study of emotional relationships in a married couple:

□ Marriage Satisfaction Questionnaire (V.V. Stolin, G.P. Butenko, T.L. Romanova);

□ questionnaire “Love and Sympathy Scale” (3. Rubin, modification by L. Ya. Gozman and Yu. E. Aleshina);

□ questionnaire “Understanding, emotional attraction, authority” (PEA) (A. N. Volkova, modification by V. I. Slepkova).

3. Diagnosis of marital compatibility:

□ questionnaire “Role expectations and aspirations in marriage” (ROP) (A. N. Volkova);

□ questionnaire “Measuring attitudes in a married couple” (Yu. E. Aleshina, L. Ya. Gozman).

4. Studying the features of conflict interaction between spouses:

□ methodology “The nature of interaction between spouses in conflict situations” (Yu. E. Aleshina, L. Ya. Gozman);

O questionnaire “Spouses’ reaction to conflict” (A. S. Kocharyan, G. S. Kocharyan, A. V. Kirichuk).

5. Study of perceptual processes in a married couple: About the “My letter about my spouse” technique (S. A. Belorusov);

□ technique “Diagnostics of interpersonal relationships” (T. Leary, adapted by L. N. Sobchik).

Within the framework of this publication, we present methods designed to diagnose emotional relationships between partners in marriage, marital compatibility (in particular, socio-psychological compatibility), as well as perceptual processes in a married couple.

4.3.1. Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire

The purpose of the technique is to expressly diagnose the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the marriage of each spouse, as well as the coincidence or discrepancy of the obtained assessments. The authors of this technique are V.V. Stolin, T.L. Romanova and G.P. Butenko (1984).

The questionnaire is based on the idea of ​​marital satisfaction as a fairly stable emotional phenomenon, which includes, first of all, a feeling, a generalized emotion, a generalized experience, rather than a rational assessment of the success of a marriage according to certain parameters, which can manifest itself directly in the emotions that arise in various situations, and in various opinions, assessments, comparisons.

The proposed questionnaire can be used wherever express diagnostics of marital satisfaction is needed: when conducting scientific research in the field of family psychology, during psychoprophylactic examinations, when working with divorcees in registry offices and courts, as well as in the field of family counseling and psychotherapy. The Marriage Satisfaction Questionnaire can be successfully used to diagnose the crisis state of the marital subsystem at any stage life cycle families.

Description of the technique

The text of the methodology consists of 24 statements (the original version contained 29 statements), which can be reduced to the following six types:

1. Comparing your marriage with other marriages.

2. Assumption about assessing your own marriage from the outside.

3. Statement of certain feelings towards the spouse in the present or past.

4. The spouse’s own assessment of a number of parameters.

5. Setting to change the character of the spouse.

6. Opinion, positive or negative, regarding marriage in general.

Each statement has three possible answers: “true”, “hard to say”, “false” (or their semantic analogues). The statements contain both positive and negative characteristics of marriage and are worded in both positive and negative terms.

Completing the questionnaire takes no more than 10 minutes. The questions do not concern overly intimate facts and details.

Instructions:“Read each statement carefully and choose one of the three answer options provided. Try to avoid intermediate answers like “hard to say,” “difficult to answer,” etc. Do the work as quickly as possible.”

29-32 points - rather prosperous,

33-38 points - prosperous,

39-48 points - absolutely prosperous relationship.

4.3.2. Questionnaire “Role expectations and aspirations in marriage” (ROP)

The technique is aimed at studying spouses’ ideas about the importance of sexual relations in family life, personal community between husband and wife, parental responsibilities, professional interests of each spouse, household services, moral and emotional support, and the external attractiveness of the partner. These indicators, reflecting the main functions of the family, make up the family values ​​scale (FVS). In addition, this technique makes it possible to clarify the spouses’ ideas about the desired distribution of roles between husband and wife in the implementation of family functions, united by the scale of role expectations and aspirations (SROA). The results of this technique indicate a hierarchy of family values ​​of spouses, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the socio-psychological compatibility of spouses in the family.

Diagnosis of socio-psychological marital compatibility, including using the questionnaire “Role expectations and aspirations in marriage,” becomes particularly relevant during any crisis period, the content of which is the role restructuring of a married couple.

Description of the technique

The technique contains 36 statements in each version (male and female) and consists of 7 scales.

Spouses are asked to independently familiarize themselves with a set of statements corresponding to their gender and express their attitude to each statement using the following answer options: “I completely agree”, “In general this is true”, “This is not entirely true”, “This is false”.

Instructions: “You have a number of statements that relate to marriage, family, and the relationship between husband and wife.

Processing and interpretation of results

After the spouses complete the task, the husband’s and wife’s answers are entered into the “Consultation Study of Family Values” table (see Table 7).

Table 7

Consultative study of family values

The answers to the proposed statements indicate that the spouses have seven basic family values. Accordingly, scores for each family values ​​scale are summed up separately. For the first two scales, these results are final and are transferred to the last column of the table. The final scores of the remaining five scales are calculated as half the sum of the scores on the subscales “role expectations” (the husband and wife’s attitude towards their partner actively fulfilling family responsibilities) and “role aspirations” (the personal readiness of each partner to fulfill family roles). Answers are scored as follows:

□ answer “Completely agree” - 3 points;

□ answer “In general this is true” - 2 points; O answer “That’s not entirely true” - 1 point; Answer “This is false” - 0 points.

Thus, the minimum total score on the scale is 0 points, the maximum total score on the scale is 9 points. The relationship rating scale is presented in three categories:

low scores on the scale - 0-3 points;

average ratings on the scale - 4-6 points;

high scores on the scale - 7-9 points.

Characteristics of family values ​​scales

1. Intimate-sexual scale(statements No. 1-3) - scale of the importance of sexual relations in marriage. High scores on the scale mean that the spouse considers sexual harmony an important condition for marital happiness; the attitude towards the spouse significantly depends on the assessment of her (him) as a sexual partner. Low scores on the scale are interpreted as an underestimation of sexual relations in marriage.

2. Personal Identification with Spouse Scale(statements No. 4-6) - a scale reflecting the husband’s (wife’s) attitude towards personal identification with the marriage partner: the expectation of common interests, needs, value orientations, ways of spending time. Low scores on the scale suggest a focus on personal autonomy.

3. Household scale measures the attitude of spouses towards the implementation of the economic and household functions of the family. This scale, like all subsequent ones, has two subscales: “role expectations” and “role aspirations.” Subscale “role expectations” (statements No. 7-9) - assessments are considered as the degree of expectation from a partner to actively resolve everyday issues. The higher the ratings on the scale of role expectations, the more demands the husband (wife) places on the spouse’s participation in organizing everyday life, the more important the partner’s household skills are. The “role aspirations” subscale (statements No. 22-24) reflects attitudes toward one’s own active participation in housekeeping. The overall rating on the scale is considered as the husband’s (wife’s) assessment of the importance of the family’s everyday organization.

4. Parent-parent scale allows us to judge the attitude of spouses to their parental responsibilities. The role expectations subscale (statements No. 10-12) shows the severity of the spouse’s attitude towards an active parental position of the marital partner. The role aspirations subscale (statements No. 25-27) indicates the husband's (wife's) orientation toward his own responsibilities in raising children. The overall scale score is considered as an indicator of the importance of parental functions for the spouse. The higher the scale score, the more importance the husband (wife) attaches to the role of the father (mother), the more he (she) considers parenthood to be the main value that centers the life of the family around itself.

5. Social Activity Scale reflects an attitude towards the importance of external social activity (professional, social) for the stability of marriage and family relations. The “role expectations” subscale (statements No. 13-15) measures the degree of orientation of the husband (wife) to the fact that the marriage partner should have serious professional interests and play an active social role. The “role aspirations” subscale (statements No. 28-30) illustrates the severity of the spouse’s own professional needs. The overall rating of the scale shows the importance of extra-family interests for the husband (wife), which are the main values ​​in the process of interpersonal interaction between spouses.

6. Emotional-psychotherapeutic scale expresses an attitude towards the importance of the emotional and psychotherapeutic function of marriage. The “role expectations” subscale (statements No. 16-17) measures the degree of orientation of the husband (wife) to the fact that the marriage partner will take on the role of an emotional leader in the family in matters of correcting the psychological climate in the family, providing moral and emotional support, creating a “psychotherapeutic atmosphere." The “role aspirations” subscale (statements No. 31-33) reflects the desire of the husband (wife) to be a family “psychotherapist”. The overall rating of the scale is considered as an indicator of the importance for the spouse of mutual moral and emotional support of family members, orientation towards marriage as an environment conducive to psychological relaxation and stabilization.

7. Attractiveness scale assesses the degree of importance of appearance for a husband (wife), its compliance with modern fashion standards. The “role expectations” subscale (statements No. 19-21) indicates the severity of the spouse’s desire to have an outwardly attractive partner. The “role aspirations” subscale (statements No. 34-36) illustrates the focus on one’s own attractiveness, the desire to dress fashionably and beautifully. The overall assessment is an indicator of the spouse’s orientation towards modern examples of external appearance.

Analysis of the results involves three stages:

1. Analysis of individual indicators on the scale of family values, role expectations and aspirations of the husband (wife). It is carried out on the basis of scoring in the “Consulting Study of Family Values” table. The data obtained as a result of the calculation characterizes:

□ the husband’s (wife’s) idea of ​​the hierarchy of family values: the higher the score on the family values ​​scale, the more significant this family environment is for the spouse;

□ orientation of the wife (husband) towards the active role behavior of the marriage partner (role expectations) and towards her own active role in the family in the implementation of family functions (role aspirations).

2. Comparative analysis of ideas about family values and role attitudes of husband and wife. The degree of consistency between spouses’ family values ​​is assessed based on the data presented in Table 8.

Table 8

Note. ShSTsm and ShSTszh are indicators on the scales of family values ​​of the husband and wife, respectively, STS is the consistency of the family values ​​of the spouses.

The consistency of family values ​​is characterized by the difference in the scores of the husband’s family values ​​scale and the wife’s family values ​​scale. The smaller the difference, the greater the consistency of the spouses’ ideas about the most significant areas of family life. A difference of up to 3 points suggests that the spouses do not have problematic relationships, while a discrepancy of more than 3 points indicates a fairly high degree of conflict in the relationship in the couple.

3. Determining the degree of role adequacy of a married couple in five areas of interpersonal interaction in the family (3-7 SSC). When analyzing the specifics of a couple’s ideas about the importance of family values, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the husband and wife’s attitudes regarding the most important areas of family life may be ideal, but not correspond to the actual role behavior of the spouses. The adequacy of the role behavior of a husband and wife depends on the compliance of role expectations with the role aspirations of the spouses. The husband's role adequacy is assessed based on calculating the difference in scores between the wife's role aspirations and the husband's role expectations; accordingly, the wife’s role adequacy will be equal to the difference in scores characterizing the husband’s role aspirations and the wife’s role expectations (see Table 9). The smaller the difference, the greater the role adequacy of the spouse, and, therefore, the orientation of the wife (husband) to perform a certain function corresponds to the husband’s (wife’s) orientation towards the active role of a marital partner in the family.

When analyzing the degree of agreement between the family values ​​of the husband and wife, it is necessary to focus on those family values ​​that are characterized by the least agreement, since their mismatch is one of the reasons for role inconsistency in a married couple and, therefore, a conflict-generating factor that destabilizes interpersonal relationships in the family.

Table 9

Note. RAM - role adequacy of the husband, RAj - role adequacy of the wife. PM and PJ - assessments of the role aspirations of the husband and wife, respectively; Om and Ozh - assessments of the role expectations of husband and wife.

Young spouses who sought psychological help filled out the questionnaire “Role Expectations and Aspirations in Marriage.” The resulting data is presented in two tables.

Consistency of family values ​​between spouses

Individual indicators of the family values ​​scale of husband and wife allow us to draw the following conclusions.

This married couple is characterized by a certain consistency in ideas about family values. The existing differences in the attitudes of spouses on the most important areas of family life do not exceed the acceptable norm. Young spouses mutually consider the commonality of interests, needs, ideas, and life goals of husband and wife to be the most significant in family life. It can be assumed that newlyweds are guided by the so-called “matrimonial” type of family organization, which is based on the value-orientation unity of marriage partners.

According to the young spouses, parental responsibilities are also important in family life; attentive, caring and warm relationships; attractive and fashionable appearance (your own and your marriage partner); the desire to realize professional interests (which is more pronounced in young women); willingness to solve family problems.

From the point of view of newlyweds, the sphere of intimate sexual relationships is less significant in family life. This is quite typical for young spouses, since the spouses’ understanding of the value of intimate relationships, as a rule, is formed in the process life together as the husband and wife achieve psychosexual compatibility.

The degree of role adequacy of the husband in various spheres of family life is not the same. The correspondence between the husband's role expectations and the wife's role aspirations is observed in the professional and parental spheres, and in the idea of ​​the importance of external attractiveness. Thus, the willingness of the wife (Pzh) to perform maternal duties, run the household, and take care of her appearance is consistent with the husband’s (Om) attitude to have an attractive, fashionably dressed wife who performs the duties of a mother and housewife. The husband's least role adequacy is observed in attitudes towards professional interests and the creation of a “psychotherapeutic” atmosphere in the family. The young woman strives to be a specialist in her field. However, the husband believes that his wife’s professional employment is only possible to a small extent. The wife does not want to take on the functions of a “psychological dispatcher” in the family, which does not correspond to the role expectations of her husband. Indicators of the wife's role adequacy demonstrate the correspondence of the wife's expectations and the husband's claims in the area of ​​his professional interests, in orientation towards compliance with the requirements of modern fashion. At the same time, the wife's expectations of her husband actively solving household issues, fulfilling parental responsibilities, and providing the wife with moral and emotional support are not consistent with the husband's role aspirations. Conclusion

1. Young spouses are characterized by a certain consistency of ideas about the most important family values.

2. The husband and wife demonstrate a discrepancy between aspirations and expectations typical of young spouses: the wife is focused on realizing her own professional interests, expecting her husband to actively perform “female” functions in the family, while the husband retains traditional ideas about the role of women in family interactions.

3. This married couple is characterized by a discrepancy between the spouses’ ideal ideas about family values ​​and the husband and wife’s role guidelines for their implementation. Thus, newlyweds, emphasizing the importance of common interests, needs, views and ideas (personal identification) for their life together, focus on the individual style of interpersonal interaction in the family, which is a serious conflict-generating factor.

PEA questionnaire form

Processing and interpretation of results

Scoring is done separately for each scale in accordance with the key:

2 points are assigned:

□ for the answer “Yes” (“+”) in questions: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37,39, 41, 42, 45;

□ for the answer “No” (“-”) in questions: 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 24, 27, 29, 30, 38, 40, 43, 44.

1 point is assigned for the answer “I don’t know” (hard to say); About points - for an answer that does not match With key.

The sum of points within one scale is a numerical measure of the parameter being measured. Thus, the technique allows you to measure the degree of understanding, emotional appeal and respect. The maximum value for each of these scales is 30 points.

1. Understanding(1-15 statements): the assessment of the given scale indicates that the subject has a picture of the partner’s personality, a subjective feeling of knowledge of his individual characteristics. A subject who notes a high understanding of his spouse does not find it difficult to interpret his behavior, thoughts, feelings and intentions and can easily take them into account when communicating with him. Low scores on this scale reflect a lack of understanding - the lack of a clear picture of the partner’s personality, difficulties in interpreting, explaining his thoughts, feelings, and actions.

2. Emotional Attraction(16-30 statements) - the attractiveness of the partner, the desire to communicate, to deal with him, the therapeutic effect of contact on the subject are assessed. Low scores characterize difficulties in communication between partners and a feeling of tiredness from each other.

3. Authority (respect)(31-45 statements) - an indicator of how much the partner is accepted as a person, how much the subject shares his worldview, interests, opinions and accepts them as a standard. Disrespect is contempt for a partner as an individual.

4.3.4. Questionnaire “Love and sympathy scale”

The purpose of the technique is to find out what prevails in relationships: love or sympathy.

Initially, 3. Rubin’s scales of love and sympathy consisted of 2 sets of statements, each of which included 13 points, then, as work on the creation of the methodology, the number of statements was reduced to 9. When compiling the scales of the questionnaire 3. Rubin proceeded from certain theoretical ideas about internal structure of measured phenomena. In particular, three components of love seemed important to measure: affection, care And degree of intimacy of the relationship.

The sympathy scale records: degree of respect, degree of admiration And the degree of perceived similarity between the target and the respondent.

Description of the technique

The final version of the methodology, adapted by L. Ya. Gozman and Yu. E. Aleshina, included 14 points. The procedure takes 5-7 minutes.

Instructions: “Please note the following statements that apply to you and your spouse. For each statement, you must select the answer option that, in your opinion, most corresponds to the existing relationship with him (her). The answer options are as follows: “Yes, that’s true”; "That's probably true"; “This is unlikely to be the case”; "It's not like that at all". Try to answer as frankly as possible. Don't linger long over any statement. And remember: there are no right or wrong answers.”

Answers are scored as follows: O answer “Yes” - 4 points;

□ answer “Probably so” - 3 points;

□ answer “It’s unlikely that this is so” - 2 points;

□ answer “That’s not true at all” - 1 point.

The points assigned to the answers to each of the statements are summed up separately on the love scale and on the sympathy scale. Final scores can vary from 7 to 28 points. It is possible to calculate the total score on both scales, characterizing the general level of emotional relationships in the dyad (from 14 to 56 points).

4.3.5. Method for diagnosing interpersonal relationships

The method of diagnosing interpersonal relationships (DMR) is a modified version of T. Leary’s interpersonal diagnostics (modified and adapted by L. N. Sobchik).

The purpose of the technique is to study the subject’s ideas about himself and his ideal “I”, ideas about family members. The use of the DME technique in the analysis of family crises allows us to draw a conclusion about the aspirations of the subject in the family sphere; identify areas of probable conflicts; study the psychological compatibility of spouses and interpersonal relationships in the family (identification of the predominant type of relationships in the family). Correlating each spouse's ideas about themselves makes it possible to identify distortions in perception and problems associated with similarities/differences in the manifestation of styles of interpersonal relationships.

Description of the technique

Based on the fact that personality is manifested in behavior actualized in the process of interaction with others, the American psychologist T. Leary systematized empirical observations in the form of 8 general or 16 more detailed (not justified in practice) options for interpersonal interaction. Respectively different types interpersonal behavior, a questionnaire was developed, which is a set of 128 fairly simple characteristics-epithets (Sobchik L.N., 2003).

Each type includes 16 judgments. The methodology is structured in such a way that judgments aimed at identifying any type of relationship are not arranged in a row, but in a special way: they are grouped by 4 and repeated through an equal number of definitions. Thus, the first type of relationship includes judgments numbered: 1-4, 33-36, 65-68, 97-100.

Each subject, when filling out the questionnaire, notes the presence of certain qualities in himself (if necessary, his spouse, his father, his mother or another family member), and also notes what qualities he himself would like to have and what he would like to see in his husband (your wife or other family member).

Instructions: “In front of you is a questionnaire containing various characteristics. You should read each one carefully and think about whether it matches your idea of ​​yourself. If “yes”, then in a special form intended for registering your answers, cross out the figure corresponding to the serial number of the characteristic in the grid of the registration form. If “no”, then do not make any notes on the registration form. Try to be as careful and frank as possible to avoid repeated examinations.

So, you must answer the question: “What kind of person are you?” (the subject completes the task).

Now, using the same characteristics, try to evaluate your ideal idea of ​​yourself, that is, answer the question: “What would I like to be?”

Then, in a similar way, it is asked to evaluate the husband (wife) and his (her) ideal, from the point of view of the respondent.

DMO form

(Depending on the goals and objectives, the required number of tables is added to the form and it is indicated which ideas are being identified: about the real self, the ideal self, about the spouse, etc.)

Processing and interpretation of results

After the subject evaluates himself, his ideal image, husband (wife) and his (her) ideal and fills out the registration form, points are calculated for eight options of interpersonal interaction. To do this, a key is used, with which blocks of 16 numbers each are allocated, forming each of the 8 octants:

I octant: characteristics 1-4, 33-36, 65-68, 97-100;

II octant: characteristics 5-8, 37-40, 69-72, 101-104;

III octant: characteristics 9-12, 41-44, 73-76, 105-108;

IV octant: characteristics 13-16, 45-48, 77-80, 109-112;

V octant: characteristics 17-20, 49-52, 81-84, 113-116;

VI octant: characteristics 21-24, 53-56, 85-88, 117-120;

VII octant: characteristics 25-28, 57-60, 89-92, 121-124;

VIII octant: characteristics 29-32, 61-64, 93-96, 125-128.

Each crossed out number corresponds to one point. The number of points is calculated for each octant. The maximum octant score is 16 points, but it is divided into 4 degrees of relationship severity:

The obtained data (scores) are transferred to the discogram (Fig. 5).

Discogram is a conventional diagram developed by T. Leary to present the results of the technique, having the form of a circle divided into sectors (8 sectors, where each sector corresponds to a certain type of relationship), on the axes of which are indicated: friendliness-hostility (aggression) horizontally, dominance - vertical subordination.

Quantitative indicators for each of the octants - from 0 to 16 - are plotted on the coordinate corresponding to the octant number, each of which is marked with arcs, the distance between them is a multiple of four: 0,4,8,12,16. An arc is drawn at the level corresponding to the points obtained for each octant. The inner part of the octant defined by the arc is shaded. After all the results obtained during the examination are noted and the inner, central part of the discogram circle is shaded to the level outlined by the arcs, a kind of “fan” is obtained. The most shaded octants (that is, those for which the scores were high) correspond to the prevailing style of behavior of a given individual in interpersonal relationships.

Characteristics that do not go beyond 8 points are characteristic of harmonious individuals. Indicators exceeding 8 points indicate an accentuation of the properties revealed by this octant. Scores reaching the level of 14-16 indicate difficulties in social adaptation.

Low scores for all octants (0-3 points) may be the result of the subject’s secrecy and lack of frankness. Accordingly, the data obtained should be considered questionable in terms of their reliability (Sobchik L. N., 2003).

Characteristics of types of attitude towards others

13-16 - dictatorial, domineering, despotic character, a type of strong personality who leads in all types of group activities, instructs, teaches everyone, always strives to rely on his own opinion, does not know how to accept the advice of others. Those around them notice this authority, but acknowledge it.

9-12 - dominant, energetic, competent, authoritative leader, successful in business, loves to give advice, demands respect.

0-8 - a self-confident person, but not necessarily a leader, stubborn and persistent.

2. Egoistic (independent-dominant).

13-16 - strives to be above everyone, but at the same time aloof from everyone, narcissistic, calculating, independent, selfish. He shifts difficulties onto those around him, but he himself treats them somewhat aloofly.

0-12 - egoistic traits, self-orientation, tendency to compete.

9-12 - self-confidence.

0-8 - self-confidence.

3. Aggressive type (straightforward-aggressive).

13-16 - tough, hostile towards others, harsh; aggressiveness can reach the point of antisocial behavior.

9-12 - demanding, straightforward, frank, strict and harsh in assessing others, irreconcilable, inclined to blame others for everything, mocking, ironic.

0-8 - stubborn, tenacious, persistent, energetic.

4. Suspicious (distrustful-skeptical).

13-16 - alienated in relation to a hostile world, suspicious, touchy, inclined to doubt everything, vindictive, constantly complaining about everyone (schizoid character type).

9-12 - critical, experiences difficulties in interpersonal contacts due to suspicion and fear of a bad attitude, closed, skeptical, disappointed in people, secretive, shows his negativism in verbal aggression.

0-8 - critical of all social phenomena and surrounding people.

5. Submissive type (submissive-shy).

13-16 - submissive, prone to self-destruction, weak-willed, inferior to everyone and in everything, always puts himself in last place, condemning himself; ascribes guilt to himself, is passive, seeks to find support in someone stronger.

9-12 - shy, meek, easily embarrassed, inclined to obey a stronger person without taking into account the situation.

0-8 - modest, timid, compliant, emotionally restrained, able to obey, does not have his own opinion, obediently and honestly fulfills his duties.

6. Dependent (dependent-obedient).

With moderate indicators - the need for help and trust from others, for their recognition. At high rates - overconformity, complete dependence on the opinions of others.

7. Friendly (cooperative-conventional).

Reveals the style of interpersonal relationships characteristic of individuals striving for close cooperation with a reference group and friendly relations with others. The excessive degree of expression of this style is manifested by compromising behavior, lack of restraint in outpouring one’s friendliness towards others, and the desire to emphasize one’s involvement in the interests of the majority.

8. Altruistic (responsible-generous).

This type of interpersonal behavior is manifested by an expressed willingness to help others and a developed sense of responsibility (up to 8 points). High scores indicate soft-heartedness, overcommitment, hypersocial attitudes, and emphasized altruism. The extreme form is characterized by hyper-responsibility, the desire to sacrifice oneself and one’s interests, and obsession with one’s help.

The first four types of interpersonal relationships - 1, 2, 3 and 4 - are characterized by the predominance of non-conforming tendencies, of which 3.4 reflect a tendency towards disjunctive (conflict) manifestations, and 1 and 2 - the desire for independence of opinion, persistence in defending one’s own point of view, tendency towards leadership and dominance. The other four octants - 5, 6, 7 and 8 - give the opposite picture: subordination, self-doubt and conformity (5 and 6), a tendency to compromise, congruence and responsibility in contacts with others (7 and 8).

The interpretation of DML data should mainly be guided not by the predominance of some indicators over others, and to a lesser extent - not by absolute values.

Formula for calculating the dominance index (vector V):

V = 1-5+0.7[(2-8)-(6+4)]

Formula for calculating the goodwill index (vector G):

G = 7-3+0.7[(8+7)-(4+3)]

A result that deviates from 1.0, either positively or negatively, reveals the prevailing trends.

Based on the results of this technique, you can get a visual representation of conflict zones and build therapeutic hypotheses about the causes of difficulties in a couple, correlating the spouses’ ideas about themselves and their partner; about the real and ideal partner, presenting them in one table.

The use of the DME method in the field of family counseling is quite effective: in addition to identifying interpersonal conflict, the method allows a deeper understanding of the causes psychological incompatibility, which can be hidden both in the different characters and behavioral patterns of family members, and in the presence of intrapersonal incongruence (internal conflict) in one of them. In addition, unrealistic ideas about the ideal of a husband, wife, children or parents can play a detrimental role in such situations (Sobchik L.N., 2003).

4.3.6. Methodology “My letter about my spouse”

This technique allows spouses who seek psychological help to systematize mutual claims, grievances, and assessments of each other. As a result, in the author’s opinion, it is advisable to use it in the first stages of counseling. The structured information contained in the methodology can also be valuable for the consultant, providing an opportunity to assess the situation and draw a conclusion about the problem of the couple who applied. So, for example, the coincidence or similar meaning of the first proposed definition of “the most... person for me” allows us to hope for a good and, possibly, quick result of the consultation. On the contrary, completely different definitions from the first line can indicate the causes of frustration as a result of mismatched expectations.

One of the tasks when working with the “My Letter about My Spouse” technique may be to identify the spouses’ ideas about each other, about their marriage, as well as about the main difficulties and problems of the marriage. By reading the form and filling it out, the spouse will be able to better understand, imagine and, possibly, change his attitude towards his partner, whose “Letter” he is reading.

When compiling the text of the methodology, the author was guided by the achievements of “narrative theory”, according to which the life of both an individual and a family can be presented in the form of a told story, to which universal principles of interpretation (exegesis) will be applied. If, at the time of contacting a specialist, this story can be interpreted as the culmination of a tragedy or drama, then the consultant's goal will be to help its participants retell it for themselves in a different narrative key.

Description of the technique

Two spouses who come to the family consultation are asked to silently fill out identical pre-prepared forms with the missing words. Their task is to fill in the missing words. On average, filling time is about half an hour. After this, the spouses exchange “Letters” and read them.

The “Letter” begins with updating ideas about the period preceding marriage. Memories allow you to have a positive outlook on further discussions of marital relationships. The technique restores in memory the first impression of the future spouse, which, most likely, was positive, and also leads to the need to think about the system of personal values ​​and expectations during this period. In the future, the attitude towards various aspects of marriage becomes clearer: goals, time spent together, attitude towards relatives, etc. One way or another, the person filling out the standard form has to constantly return to his own perception of what is happening, to the degree of realization of his expectations, to responsibility for his personal choice.

The last block of the methodology is devoted to assessing the current state of family life and possible options for the development of events. The key word here is “exit”. It emphasizes that the family is experiencing a crisis and at the same time has the resources to overcome it. Responsibility in this situation is shared by both spouses who agreed to write “Letters”. Their ideas about how to resolve the current situation may be similar or, conversely, very different. The task of the psychologist is to help assess the feasibility of the proposed solutions and support the spouses in finding the most adequate way out of the current situation.

The technique can be used in family counseling and therapy. There have been no special studies aimed at validating it and comparing it with existing methods of family diagnostics and family counseling (Belorusov S. A., 1998).

After both spouses finish their letters, a period of reflection follows, searching for a new form of behavior. The most correct psychotherapeutic practice in this case would be to maintain such a “creative pause,” with the exception of situations when the spouses do not have questions aimed at clarifying certain nuances of what the other partner wrote.

If spouses do not have enough space when filling out a letter form and they write between the lines, diligently commenting on their position, this often indicates interest and deep reflective involvement. At the same time, some of the “Letters” spaces proposed for filling sometimes remain empty, which gives reason to assume the presence of problem areas in one area or another. In this case, it is recommended to discuss relevant topics.

Introduction

Marriage and family are among such phenomena, interest in which has always been stable and widespread. For society, the question of knowledge of these social institutions and the ability to manage their development is of paramount importance because the reproduction of the population, the creation and transmission of spiritual values ​​largely depend on their condition.

Many psychologists believe that marital compatibility is the most important condition for the stability and well-being of a married couple. Compatibility is partly defined by its researchers through satisfaction: “If for harmony, sympathy is a secondary element in assessing interaction, then for compatibility, sympathy (as satisfaction with the relationship) is the main element.”

“Compatibility can be described mainly by two characteristics included in the affective component of interaction: indicators of subjective satisfaction with the partner ( psychological sign) and indicators of the emotional and energetic costs of the individual, the participant in communication (physiological sign). At the same time, the emotional background of the relationship is accompanied by some, perhaps the maximum, emotional and energy costs of the communicating partners.” In conditions of informal relationships (intimate-emotional), the optimal interaction will be one that is characterized by maximum satisfaction of partners with the relationship, duration of communication, and frequency of contacts.


1. STUDYING ASPECTS OF MARITAL COMPATIBILITY

A. N. Obozova identified four aspects of marital compatibility, the need to separate which, in her opinion, is justified by the difference in their inherent criteria, patterns and manifestations:

Spiritual compatibility - characterizes the consistency of the goal-setting components of the partners' behavior: attitudes, value orientations, needs, interests, views, assessments, opinions, etc. (the main pattern of spiritual compatibility is the similarity, similarity of the spiritual ways of the spouses);

Personal compatibility - characterizes the correspondence of the structural and dynamic characteristics of partners: properties of temperament, character, emotional-volitional sphere: one of the criteria for personal compatibility is a conflict-free distribution of interpersonal roles. The main pattern of this aspect of spouse compatibility is the complementarity of the structural characteristics of the partners;

Family and household compatibility - functional characteristics of marriage partners: consistency of ideas about the functions of the family and the corresponding way of life, consistency of role expectations and aspirations in the implementation of these functions. The criterion is the effectiveness of raising children;

Physiological compatibility.

Signs of physical, including sexual, compatibility are the harmony of caresses between a man and a woman, physical contact, and satisfaction from intimacy.”

This understanding of marital compatibility is close to the concept of marital satisfaction. Indeed, in this case, compatibility is interpreted as the consistency of attitudes, the similarity of the spiritual ways of the spouses, the conformity of character, the consistency of ideas about the functions of the family - that is, in principle, all this can be designated as ideas about family life, and the implementation of these ideas in marriage determines the assessment spouses of their own marriage, their satisfaction with family relationships.


2. APPROACHES TO STUDYING THE PROBLEM OF MARITAL COMPATIBILITY

Based on the aspects of marital compatibility identified by A. N. Obozova, all studies on this problem can be divided into three groups:

1. Structural approach focused on the study of personal compatibility - the relationship between various static characteristics of spouses: characterological, intellectual, motivational, etc. In this case, the compatibility of spouses is expressed in the ability to form a harmonious couple: a structure that has signs of integrity, balance, completeness. The basis for such studies was R. Winch’s hypothesis about the so-called complementarity, according to which the needs of partners, members of a small group (in this case, such a group is the family), should complement each other in the quality of their personal properties.

2. Functional approach based on the representation of the individual through his roles and functions in the group. In relation to marriage, the functional approach is expressed in the study of the relationship between the psychological family roles of spouses and their ideas about the family. Compatibility in this case acts as agreement, similarity of ideas, expectations of spouses about family life, consistency of roles in a married couple.

Proponents of the functional approach believe that if family members understand their roles differently and present each other with inconsistent expectations and requirements rejected by the partner, the family is obviously incompatible and conflict-ridden.

Interesting work in this vein was carried out by T. A. Gurko. She found that in cases where women are satisfied with their husband’s participation in household chores, they are more often satisfied with the marriage (50%, dissatisfied - 19%). On the contrary, dissatisfaction with the spouse’s attitude towards household affairs clearly correlates with dissatisfaction with family life (12% and 58%, respectively). According to the nature of the distribution of responsibilities, all families are divided into 3 groups: with significant, moderate and weak participation of the husband in housework. It was found that the number of women dissatisfied with marriage increases significantly when moving from the first to the second and third groups of families, while the number of satisfied women, on the contrary, decreases.

Interestingly, the level of marital satisfaction among men changes in the same direction, although not as significantly. Apparently, if a husband withdraws from housework, the wife constantly expresses dissatisfaction about this.

3. And finally third approach to study compatibility - adaptive- focuses on the study of weak, problematic aspects of marital relationships that cause conflicts, disagreements, and misunderstandings. This approach is, on the one hand, common to the two above, and at the same time a special direction. Its task is to search for reserves for adaptation of spouses to each other through harmonization of the marital union. This approach is most fully implemented in practical work to provide psychological assistance family, in particular family consultation.

So, the concept of marital compatibility is one way or another defined through the concepts of marital satisfaction and stability, while many researchers understand marital compatibility as something static. However, we must not forget that each family is unique, and there is no psychological pattern that applies to everyone without exception.

For diagnosis, I chose 3 young married couples without children, with the same age difference.

1. Skripnik Tatyana Ravilyevna (25 years old) and Gennady Petrovich (30 years old) - married for 4 years.

2. Polyukhovich Oksana Vladimirovna (26 years old) and Vladimir Evstafievich (31 years old) - married for 6 years.

3. Yakimets Tatyana Nikolaevna (24 years old) and Yuri Vladimirovich (29 years old) - married for 5 years.


3. DIAGNOSTICS OF MARITAL COMPATIBILITY

3.1 Diagnosis of psychophysiological compatibility of spouses

Research in the field of psychology of sexuality, although it has a long history, however, much remains to be done in order to help people better, to know themselves, to solve problems that cause trouble, to prevent conflict situations that are so often and so painfully experienced by both men and women. women. For this purpose, methods of psychological diagnostics in the field of psychology of sexuality are needed.

3.1.1 Methodology for assessing sexual profile

Purpose: diagnostics of sexual behavior characteristics.

Description of the methodology: it contains 14 main scales that make up the distribution of polar forms of sexual behavior, as well as individual questions relating to certain forms of sexual behavior. The technique has the advantage of being easy to process the data obtained, which is important when conducting individual consultations, especially in the form method.

Procedure for carrying out the technique: subjects are asked to answer questions by filling out the protocol form below.

Instructions: “Answer the following questions in two ways: “Yes” or “+” if your behavior corresponds to an affirmative answer to the question, and “No” or “-” if your answer is negative.”

Data processing (see Appendix 1).

Data interpretation

The results of processing the questionnaires of married couple No. 1 showed the following:

The wife is characterized by a violent manifestation of her feelings, emotional expressiveness and relaxed reactions, while the husband is characterized by calmer behavior, and emotional outbursts in behavior are less observable. The husband's characteristic feature is restraint;

When communicating with people of the opposite sex, the spouses do not have any problems; they are both confident in their sexual capabilities. This gives me the right to assume that in this regard, the spouses easily understand each other, which makes it possible for them to communicate easily and relaxedly in any society;
