INTERACTION BETWEEN PARENTS AND
ADOLESCENTS IN FAMILIES WITH TOBACCO ADDICTION

The paper deals with the peculiarities of interaction between parents and adolescents within a family with tobacco addiction. Adolescence is a main period for the initiation of tobacco use and the formation of tobacco addiction. In psychology, the role of the family, in particular parent-child relationships, in the formation of addictive behavior is considered as a defect in socialization or a symptom of family relationships dysfunction. The perception of the impact of smoking on family functioning affects parent-child relationships and mediates the adolescent’s attitude to smoking as a social phenomenon. The study involved 134 two-parent families, which included at least one smoker. The respondents were mothers and fathers aged from 35 to 50 years (N = 268) and their children aged from 12 to 17 (N = 134). In the empirical study, The Effect of Smoking on Family Functioning Inventory by V.O. Kramchenkova and The Parent-Child Interaction Inventory by I. M. Markovskaya were used. The cluster analysis identified five typological profiles of the influence of smoking on the implementation of family functions, namely, violation of the educational function of the family (30.10%), general violation of family functions (24.63%), neutral influence on family functions (20.65%), violation of household, educational and primary control functions (15.17%), promoting the implementation of family functions (9.45%).
