The relevance of the study is due to the growth of psychoemotional disorders in the adolescent environment and the need to identify family factors that influence the formation of anxiety. The paper presents an empirical test of the hypothesis about the differentiated influence of different styles of upbringing on the level of personal anxiety in adolescents in the context of a modern Russian family. Based on the use of diagnostic methods, statistically significant connections between authoritarian and hypo-protective styles with increased anxiety, as well as the protective effect of the democraric style, were established. The results obtained have practical significance for the development of preventive and correctional programs in the system of school psychological service, as well as for educational work with parents.

This article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the characteristics of choosing a marriage partner among young men and women who grew up in single-parent families. The relevance of the study is due to the growing number of single-parent families and their influence on the formation of interpersonal relationships in young people. Single-parent families can form specific psychological attitudes in children, influencing their ideas about love, intimacy, and trust. Studying these characteristics can help understand how the circumstances of family upbringing influence the preferences of young men and women when choosing a partner. A theoretical analysis of the integration of modern concepts of marital choice and the psychological consequences of upbringing in single-parent families is supplemented by an original empirical study. The sample consisted of 50 people (25 young men and 25 young women) aged 18 to 23 years. A set of methods was used: the method of personal differential of O.L. Kustov, the method of studying value orientations of S. Schwartz, the method of «Role Expectations and Aspirations in Marriage» by A.N. Volkova. Statistically significant differences in value orientations, role expectations, and self-esteem were identified between young men and women. The hypothesis that marriage partner choice is compensatory, driven by the desire to compensate for the lack of parental love and create a stable relationship, was confirmed.

The article examines the potential of an English lesson as a platform for the development of critical thinking in adolescents. The author argues that working with authentic problem texts of modern culture, in particular postmodern fairy tale novels, allows for the integration of subject (linguistic) and meta-subject (intellectual) educational outcomes. The article substantiates the thesis that a foreign language ceases to be an end in itself, turning into a tool for deep substantive work, analysis of nuances, irony and stylistic features, which increases the motivation and meaningfulness of the learning process. Adolescence is defined as a sensitive period for such integration, and a foreign language lesson as a unique opportunity to form a critical reader's position through intercultural communication.
