What makes this teaching vast and versatile, depending on many factors, the interaction of participants and their characteristics as individuals.
Similarly, the concept of the family in psychology often appears as a small group, or a self-organizing system, in the formation and development of which a special role is played by the psychological climate. And the main task of all participants playing their role in family relations is to determine how to predict the psychological climate in the family and control its influence.
What is the psychological climate?
To begin with, consider what a psychological climate in the family, and why it is so important.
A clear scientific definition of the psychological climate as such does not exist. In the literature, in describing this phenomenon, synonyms like "psychological atmosphere", "emotional climate" and so on are often used. Thus, it can be concluded that this is in its way a characteristic that reflects the satisfaction of all members of the family, and in particular of the spouses the general aspects of life. Simply put, this is an indicator of the level of happiness and well-being of the family. Determining this level and maintaining it at the optimal level is necessary for the full development of both spouses and their children. Since, the psychological climate is not a stable concept, and it can not be consolidated, a system for predicting the overall emotional state is defined, and certain actions are identified for its systematic maintenance.
A favorable psychological climate helps to relieve tension, regulate the severity of conflict situations, create harmony and develop a sense of its own social significance. At the same time, all these factors will concern not only the family as a generalized unit, but also each of its participants separately. When marrying, young spouses should have a certain psychological attitude, readiness to compromise and concessions, develop confidence, respect and mutual understanding in relation to each other. Only in this case, we can talk about the possibility of a good psycho-emotional state of a new cell in society.
Creating a psychological climate.
As stated above, the psychological climate of the family is not a permanent concept, which does not have a stable basis and requires constant work. In the creation of an emotional state, all members of the family must participate, only in this case, a full-fledged successful result is possible. From the degree of diligence and desire primarily of the spouses, the duration of the marriage, its effectiveness, and well-being will directly depend. In comparison with the last millennium, modern newlyweds are more exposed to their own emotional factors than to the established foundations of the institution of marriage, which also affects the stability of family relations and the emotional background in the family. Therefore, we can safely say that the first factor responsible for the optimal psychological climate in the family will be emotional contact. Also, the family mood of all members of the family, their general mood, the presence of emotional feelings or worries, the presence or absence of work, material prosperity, attitude to the position held or work performed, as well as the construction order will influence the creation of a positive or negative psychological climate in the family relations between spouses, and then, between parents and children. Only after assessing all these factors can we talk about the stability or instability of the climate in the family, and predict the psychological climate for a further time.
Predicting the psychological climate.
The process of predicting the psychological climate in the family is nothing else than the usual analysis of the overall emotional state of the family, taking into account the level of family communication and the general mood.
Thus, the definition of how to predict the psychological climate in the family is reduced to the usual observation, with the conclusion of certain conclusions. Thus, after deducing the result, the emotional climate of the family can be predicted as favorable and unfavorable.
For the prediction of a favorable psychological climate, the presence of such signs is necessary: a sense of security, benevolence, moderate exactingness, the possibility of comprehensive development, cohesion, emotional satisfaction, responsibility, pride for the family. Thus, as a result, we get a reliable strong family in which the atmosphere of love and respect reigns, there is a willingness to help, the desire to spend time together and communicate.
But it is possible and another outcome, when for the family, it is predicted to lower the level of the psychological climate to unfavorable. The main signs of this state of the family are: anxiety, alienation, discomfort, emotional tension, fear, stress, lack of security and others. In this case, with a long stable negative situation in the family, an unfavorable climate is predicted, which in the future will lead to a deficit of positive emotions, the development of quarrels, depressions, constant psychological tension and will negatively affect the overall health of the family, not only morally but also physically.
In case of violations of the psychological health of the family, the negative consequences affect each of its participants. Change the psychological climate, it is possible only when all members of the family aspire to achieve the set goal, namely to resolve the overall emotional state.
