Overestimated family expectations as a factor in the formation of delayed life syndrome
The article discusses the causes of the delayed life syndrome. The main attention in the work is focused on the inflated expectations of the family as a factor in the formation of the scenario and the neurosis of deferred life. The relevance of the work is due to the wide spread of the observed phenomenon. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that a new view is presented on the problem of the origin of the delayed life syndrome. For the first time, the paper touches upon the question of the possibility of a connection between the level of parental expectations from a child and the formation of a deferred life scenario for him. In the introduction, the author cites the relevance of the study, which is dictated by the spread of the delayed life syndrome, its impact on people's lives and the popularization of this topic in the media. An analytical review of various approaches to the issues of delayed life syndrome, life scenarios and their origins is also provided. 100 people aged 18 to 65 years were surveyed for the study. Such a choice of an empirical object was made in connection with the idea of this group as individuals who have formed their life goals, plans and values, able to assess the parental influence exerted on them. «The Methods» section outlines the main methods of analyzing both theoretical and empirical data. The results of the study show links between the delayed life syndrome and the level of family expectations. In «The discussion of the results» section, the author notes that in families in which children are often set difficult goals, especially motivating them with the fulfillment of desires important to the children themselves, there is a basis for the formation and consolidation of a deferred life scenario in a child. At a more conscious age, a person either continues, as he was taught in childhood, to postpone the satisfaction of some needs for a period after achieving a global goal, or will continue to strive for goals set from outside.
