es supplementing each other (referring to personality and to object); they
differ with the age of a child. This hypothesis has been taken as a basis f
or method of study of parental attitude. The results of the investigation h
ave shown that parental attitude differs in time: dominance of personality
base is changed by dominance of object one; parental attitude determines st
yle of upbringing as well as of parents' assessment of their child.
