The sample of the study consists of 330 persons, including 85 cross-cultural Arab - Russian couples (170 persons), living in Russia, and 80 monocultural couples (160 persons).The main methods were S. Schwartz’ “Value Survey”, “Test of Attitudes to Family Life” by Yu. Alyoshina, L. Gozman, & E. Dubovskaya, «Marital Role Expectations and Aspirations” by A.N. Volkova, “Marital Satisfaction Test” by V. Stolin, T. Romanova, & G. Butenko.It was revealed that the persons from cross-cultural and monocultural marriages have different life and family values hierarchies, besides, they realize their life values in family life differently. In cross-cultural marriages the spouses see the opportunities for their normative life goals realizing in the family, especially in its psychotherapeutic and parental spheres, as well as in social activity outside the family. But in their real day-to-day activities, they do not always manage to realize their life goals in the family sphere, probably because of the difficulties in interacting with their social environment, which can come from the fact that their families are more enclosed, which in turn leads to a decrease of marital satisfaction. In the cross-cultural spouses’ representations, the collectivist values are more related to family functioning, but individualistic values such as hedonism and power are perceived as incompatible with the successful functioning of the family.В статье представлены результаты эмпирического исследования, проведенного в целях анализа различий в жизненных и семейных ценностях, а также в их взаимосвязи, между су-пругами из межкультурных и монокультурных семей. Выборка исследования составила 330 человек, включая 85 межкультурных русско-арабских пар (170 человек), проживающих в Рос-сии, а также 80 монокультурных пар (160 человек).В исследовании использовались следующие методики «Ценностный опросник» Ш. Швар-ца, «Тест установок к семейной жизни» (Ю. Алешина, Л. Гозман, Е. Дубовская), опросник «Ролевые ожидания и притязания в браке» (А. Волкова), «Удовлетворенность браком» (В. Сто-лин, Т. Романова, Г. Бутенко).Было обнаружено, что люди из межкультурных и монокультурных браков имеют разные иерархии жизненных и семейных ценностей, кроме того они по-разному воплощают свои жизненные цели в семейной сфере. В межкультурных браках супруги связывают возможности реализации своих нормативных целей с семьей, особенно с ее психотерапевтической и роди-тельской функциями, а также с внесемейной активностью. Но в повседневной жизни им не всегда удается реализовать жизненные цели в семейной сфере, возможно из-за сложностей во взаимодействии с внешним окружением и относительной закрытости семьи, что, в свою очередь, приводит к снижению удовлетворенности браком. В представлениях супругов из межкультурных семей коллективистские ценности более связаны с семейным функциониро-ванием, a индивидуалистические ценности, такие как гедонизм и власть, воспринимаются как несовместимые с благополучным функционированием семьи.cross-cultural marriageintercultural marriagelife valuesfamily valuesattitudes to family lifefamily functionsfamily rolesexpectations and aspirations in marriagemarital satisfactionмежкультурный бракжизненные ценностисемейные ценностиуста-новки к семейной жизнисемейные функциисемейные ролиожидания и притязания в бра-кеудовлетворенность браком1.Call, V.R.A. & Heaton, T.B.
