In accordance with the provisions of Vygotsky, mastering of new fields of activity leads to systemic change human consciousness (neoplasms). One such change in adulthood is awareness of belonging to a particular social group – parents.
Features consciousness pregnant women were studied with the method of open self-description "20 - I" (M.Kun).
According to a survey of a sample can be divided into 4 groups:
Group 1 (31.4% of the sample) was formed by women with a strong maternal identity.
Group 2 (25.7% of the sample) were women, indicating his future mother's identity (maturing parent identity).
Group3 consisted of three women who have had a pronounced feminine identity.
The 4 group included women in the self-reference that does not occur on the current or future motherhood (31.4% of the sample).
Features consciousness of women were correlated with individual characteristics, as a value orientation (E. Zakharova), characteristics of the psychological gender (S.Bem).
The results suggest that the expression of the identity of the parent is accompanied by the value orientation on the child's interests. Value-orientation of women to work, communication, personal interests, reduces the severity of feelings of belonging to motherhood. The presence of conflict of values complicates the establishment of maternal identity. Confirmed, also, the assumption that the parent identity is inextricably linked to the actual female identity. Recorded in a free self-description awareness of a mother statistically consistent with the sense of belonging to women about psychological sex.
It can be concluded that advent of parenthood creates the conditions for significant changes consciousness adult.
