More than 45 scientific papers were presented by students from Vologda, Cherepovets, Kemerovo and other cities in this section.

Arina Golovlyanitsyna, a student at the Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, spoke about the connection of psychological wellness with the readiness for risk. A student at Cherepovets State University, Angela Mirzakhanyan, presented the peculiarities of color psychology in marketing, and a student of Moscow State Regional University, Leonid Levin, presented young people’s behavioral patterns in social media.

An interesting report was presented by Maria Guseva, a representative of Kolomna State Social and Humanitarian University. She spoke about the influence of “Kidulting” on the formation of a modern family.

“Kidult” (eng. “kid” + “adult”, “an adult child”) is associated with adults who retain their adolescent psychology for a long time. Kidults can show an arrogant attitude towards other people, which exposes their inferiority complex, as well as a somewhat illusory attitude to their own life and future.

“Recently we have witnessed a dramatic transformation of family structures (from the traditional family to a basic nuclear family), the number of families with only one child has grown significantly over the past years, also the age when people get married went up, and at the same time the number of registered marriages decreased. The family as a social institution is gradually losing its regulatory functions”, the student’s paper says.
