The control of spouse’s behavior as the regulator of family function

Abstract

In the article is given the data, obtained in the consecutive empirical research of communication between behavior control and individual characteristics of partners in nuclear family. The behavior control is considered as a basis of person’s self-control in the various reality situations, uniting his cognitive, emotional and willed resources with experience of relations in parent’s family. On an example of a situation of pregnancy it is shown that specification of the coordination of the behavior control, subjective control, coping-strategy and representations about early children's experience of spouses reflects the mutual coordination of their behavior specific to this situation, to overall aim – births of the child. Necessity of deeper studying and the differentiated approach to subjective and system processes in a family is proved.
