Abstract
The urgency of the problem of the formation of tolerance in society is justified by the fact that every day the world becomes more cruel. Acts of intolerance, violence, terrorism, aggressive nationalism, racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination of national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, refugees, migrant workers, immigrants and socially least protected groups are becoming widespread in society. Acts of violence and intimidation of individuals who have exercised their right to freedom of thought and expression of belief have also become more frequent. There is an increase in separatism and extremism. This is especially a threat to the children's and young people's environment, because at this age the psyche is not yet strong, the child has no life experience. Not always children can tell which moral values they impose. Mutual intolerance, anger, aggressiveness are increasingly inherent in children's and youth's environment. To a great extent, the mass media and the social environment of children and adolescents are guilty of this. The study of the formation of tolerance towards the families that raise children with special needs is substantiated in the article; tolerance as a personal characteristic, tolerance as a system of attitudes and values of an individual, tolerance in the process of communication, the main components of the concept of tolerance is reflected; the family as a cell of society and the socio-psychological aspect of the formation of tolerance in society is considered. The aim of the study was to study tolerance as a personal characteristic and ways of its formation towards the families that raise children with special needs. In the research process of children’s parents (the age of the respondents varied from 23 to 36 years), the levels of the tolerance index according to the scales «social tolerance» and «tolerance as a personality trait» were revealed, as well as the levels of the communicative tolerance. On the basis of psychodiagnostic research, it was determined that all tolerance indicators showed a predominantly low level of its formation. This gave grounds to develop and introduce a corrective program for the formation of tolerance in the society towards the families that raise children with special needs which consists of training exercises within several different trainings. Carrying out psycho-corrective measures allowed us to assume that the levels of tolerance in the process of its formation will increase, which was proved by the subsequent control diagnostics. Analyzing the results obtained, it is worth paying attention to the fact that during the application time of the proposed system providing corrective measures certain changes occurred practically within all diagnosed indicators. Thus, the index of tolerance according to the scale of «social tolerance» has increased by 2,7 times, the tolerance index according to the scale «tolerance as a personality trait» has increased by 2,1 times, a high level of tolerance measurement has doubled (increased by 2 times), and a high level of communicative tolerance has increased by 1.4 times. Thus, it can be concluded that there has been observed some dynamics of the formation of tolerance towards the families that raise children with special needs in society.
