The family is the basic unit of society, where elements of national identity and moral principles are transmitted. But any family is also a complex system of interpersonal relationships where conflicts are inevitable. Family stability requires communication flexibility, trust, and stress management skills.
Psychological features of the Armenian family
Outwardly, the Armenian family may seem open and welcoming, but inside it is a very closed system, where many emotions of the past and present are mixed together. Often we try to preserve traditions that do not stand the test of the 21st century, forcing the new generation to live by the old principles. This leads to young people delaying starting a family, and after starting, they face acute role crises.
The dangers of conflict and emotional stress
In many families, conflicts escalate not only into physical, but also emotional abuse (abuse), which is also violence. Incongruence in role expectations, economic problems and unspoken insults accumulate, eroding intra-family affective (emotional) bonds.
