Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics of the patterns of young people's coming of age in Western countries. The authors show that a new model of transition to adulthood is being formed in Russia, which testifies to the adaptation of the new generation of young people and the institution of marriage to changing social conditions. Successful relationships during dating are important for the well-being of future marriages and the well-being of children born in such marriages. Destructive or self-destructive patterns of interaction are more likely to carry over into future marriages or may lead to rejection of marriage and desire to have children. The article describes the data of studies of senior students in various fields of training at the age of 20–24 years, conducted in 2005–2007, 2018 and 2019 in Moscow and Stavropol on quota samples. It presents data on the ways in which young men and women can get acquainted with each other, on the forms of their living during their studies, on the attitude of students to online dating with the aim of finding a partner, on special events to get acquainted with young women and men from different universities that could be arranged by the administration of the universities, on special optional classes on the problems of relations between men and women and family relations. An attempt is made to answer the question whether double standards are changing (who initiates acquaintances and dating, pays expenses, etc.). The article presents the results on the prevalence of violence during dating among students. The attitudes of students to the legalization of homosexual marriages and the same right of same-sex couples to adopt children as heterosexual couples are described. The data on the dynamics of students' plans regarding future marriage and about student' reproductive attitudes in Moscow and Stavropol are also analyzed.
