Vasylchenko O.М
This article presents an empirical study of self-concept in four age groups - children, teenagers, young adults and adults. The main issue of the study was the place and the role of reproductive and family identities in the structure of the current and the prospective identity of respondents. Reproductive identity is a part of social identity and usually is considered as a part of family identity by the most of researchers. To study the current and prospective reproductive identity, M.Kuhn and T. McPartland’s test and its modification was used. By the means of this test some problems have been solved: the identities, which dominate in the collective identification matrix of respondents was found, the location and topicality of reproductive and family identity in the structure of collective identification matrix of respondents was determined and the main features of prospective identity of the respondents was described. The prevalence of prospective reproductive identities over current identities was proved by the means of statistics. Such kind of prevalence is a clear evidence that formation of the reproductive and family identities, creation of social roles and the reproductive life scenarios have a long latency period. Prospective reproductive identity is an important element of the reproductive script and the life’s journey. Thus, this type of identity determine the reproductive behavior of the person.
