Methodological Support for Studying the Socio-Psychological Determinants of Intergenerational Value Transformation in Karakalpak Families

Аннотация

Intergenerational value transformation is a multifaceted socio-psychological process influenced by numerous factors. In Karakalpak families, this transformation is particularly significant due to the interplay between deep-rooted cultural traditions and modern influences such as globalization and socio-economic shifts. Therefore, this article aims to provide a comprehensive methodological framework for studying the socio- psychological determinants of this transformation. Specifically, it explores theoretical approaches, research methods, and practical implications. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of a well-structured methodological approach to ensure accurate and meaningful findings.
