The attitude of young people to family history is considered as an element of their worldview. The dynamics of interest in studying the history of one’s family, identified using the original “Family History” method, shows that at different stages of growing up (16–18 and 19–22 years) a “Positive image of the family” is formed. The factor illustrates the process of separation of young people from the parental family and can act as one of the indicators of the internal position of an adult. The motive for studying family history reflects the process of self-identification of a maturing individual. Differences between boys and girls aged 19–22 in showing interest in family history are seen as a result of the influence of traditional gender expectations from society, which require women to have their own family. These expectations actualize girls’ readiness to evaluate their personal contribution to family history, as well as the desire to grow up faster compared to boys.
