Cultural assimilators as the technique of the work of the educational psychologist in the multicultural interaction of the modern family

The realities of  modern life are such that the  culture of  consumerism and alienation penetrate into the  sphere of  intrafamily relations and provoke a  crisis of the moral alienation of the adolescent, which complicates the intergenerational transmission of  values. As  a  result, there is  a  discrepancy between the  value systems of  the  generation of  “children” and the  generation of  “parents”, which is  recognized as  an  intergenerational value gap. This leads to  a  cultural distance between children and parents, to misunderstanding and intra-family conflicts. We propose to  consider this difficult situation through the  prism of  multiculturalism, and look for a solution to the problem in multicultural interaction. The pedagogical psychologist, accompanying overcoming the  crisis conditions of  the  teenager, can help to  improve mutual understanding between parents and children, using the technique of cultural assimilators. In situations of intra-family interaction, cultural assimilators solve the problems of adult cognitive orientation on the characteristics of adolescent subcultures. The article provides a rationale for the use of assimilators, describes the  methodology for compiling and applying cultural assimilators by  teachers and psychologists, and gives the  first results of  work with cultural assimilators.
