THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY OF ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE CHECHEN TEENAGERS FROM HETERO- AND MONO-ETHNIC FAMILIES

Abstract

The article observes a problem of ethnic identity of older adolescents from heteroethnic families, in which there is a simultaneous influence of two cultures on the process of ethnic self-identification of younger generations. The paper presents the results of a study of the peculiarities of ethnic identity of older adolescents living in the Chechen Republic, who are brought up in heteroethnic and monoethnic families. It is shown that the ethnic identity of older adolescents is quite pronounced in both samples, and the certainty of ethnic identity is higher in adolescents from monoethnic families. The main components of ethnic identity (cognitive, affective and behavioral), as well as types of ethnic identity, all-Russian identity and tolerance in Chechen adolescents from heteroethnic and monoethnic families are analyzed.
