Psychological conditions of conjugation of students and their parents’ perceptions about the future on the stage of self-determination

The article presents the results of research on connection between paired parent-child perceptions of the high school students’ future and parent-child communication. By the parameter of conjugation of parent-child concepts on the future of high school students three groups have been allocated. In the first group the children and parental perceptions are characterized as conjugates. Parents are willing to give the child the opportunity to make an independent choice and support it. In the second group perceptions match only in the aspect of future profession choice and professional self-determination in general. The third group is dominated by non-conjugated vision for the future. The parent and the child have clearly different ideas about the events after graduation from school. The author also finds out that the condition of the adjoint perception of the future at senior pupils and parents favor the presence of dialogical forms of communication.
