of social life lead to the changes in the sphere of values and worldview of both the
indigenous population and the representatives of national minorities. Family values of
Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar youth living in mainland Ukraine after the occupation of the
Crimea, were investigated.
The purpose of the research is a cross-cultural study of family values and parental
attitudes of Ukrainian and Crimean youth.

Tatars (55 boys and 55 girls) aged 17-24.

Results. The majority of Ukrainian youth demonstrate the values of stimulation, which
are pronouncedly expressed in the form of the desire for novelty, the need for changes and
deep experience, the value of a life full of thrills, new impressions and complicated tasks,
as well as universalism (tolerance, protection of human well-being and natural

universalism and conformity are expressed at a high level (in ½ and more of the
respondents).

were revealed, which serve as the basis for the formation of transcultural values. Both
ethnic groups are characterized by avoiding conflict, developing the activity of a child,
