Abstract:
Intergenerational value transformation is a multifaceted socio-psychological process influenced by
numerous factors. In Karakalpak families, this transformation is particularly significant due to the interplay
between deep-rooted cultural traditions and modern influences such as globalization and socio-economic shifts.
Therefore, this article aims to provide a comprehensive methodological framework for studying the socio-
psychological determinants of this transformation. Specifically, it explores theoretical approaches, research
methods, and practical implications. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of a well-structured
methodological approach to ensure accurate and meaningful findings.
Keywords:
Intergenerational value transformation, Karakalpak families, socio-psychological determinants,
cultural transmission, modernization, globalization, family traditions, social identity.
Introduction:
To begin with, it is essential to define the
concept of intergenerational value transformation,
which refers to the changes in values, beliefs, and
traditions passed down from one generation to
another. In other words, this transformation occurs
when younger generations adopt, modify, or reject
certain values inherited from their predecessors.
Furthermore, in the context of Karakalpak families, this
process is shaped by both internal and external factors.
On the one hand, traditional values such as respect for
elders, collectivism, and family unity continue to play a
significant role in shaping the younger generation’s
worldview. On the other hand, external influences,
including technological advancements, educational
opportunities, and exposure to global cultures,
contribute to shifts in value systems. As a result, the
transformation of values is an inevitable phenomenon
that requires thorough academic investigation [5,
2060-2067].
At the same time, it is important to recognize that value
transformation does not occur in isolation. Rather, it is
a dynamic process influenced by various socio-
psychological determinants. These determinants
include family upbringing, social interactions, economic
conditions, and media influence. Consequently,
understanding these factors is crucial for developing a
methodological approach that effectively captures the
complexities of intergenerational value shifts [2, 65-
74].
Theoretical Framework. First and foremost, the study is
based on several theoretical perspectives that provide
valuable insights into intergenerational value
transmission. Specifically, three key theories form the
foundation of this research:
1. Cultural Transmission Theory
–
This theory explains
how cultural values, norms, and traditions are passed
down from one generation to another. Moreover, it
highlights the mechanisms through which younger
generations adopt or reject inherited values.
2. Socio-Cultural Development Theory
–
This approach
emphasizes the role of social interactions in shaping
individual and collective identities. In particular, it
examines how communication within families and
communities influences the development of values.
3. Modernization Theory
–
This theory sheds light on
how modernization, urbanization, and technological
progress affect traditional value systems. More
specifically, it explores the tension between traditional
and modern values in the context of societal change.

Taken
together,
these
theories
provide
a
comprehensive
framework
for
analyzing
intergenerational value transformation in Karakalpak
families. Furthermore, they help explain the complex
interactions between tradition and modernity,
continuity and change.
Research Methodology. In order to gain a deep
understanding of the socio-psychological determinants
of value transformation, this study employs a mixed-
methods approach. That is to say, both qualitative and
quantitative methods are utilized to ensure a holistic
and balanced analysis. More specifically, the research
includes the following methods:
1. Surveys and Questionnaires
–
These tools are used to
collect statistical data on generational differences in
values. Additionally, they help identify patterns and
trends in value shifts over time.
2. In-depth Interviews
–
By conducting interviews with
individuals from different generations, the study gains
valuable insights into personal experiences and
perceptions. More importantly, this method allows
researchers to explore the reasons behind value
transformation.
3. Focus Group Discussions
–
Through interactive
discussions, participants express their viewpoints on
changing values. As a result, researchers can observe
common
themes,
conflicts,
and
generational
differences in real-time.
4. Case Studies
–
Examining specific family cases
provides a deeper understanding of how values are
transmitted and transformed within households. In
particular, this method highlights the role of parenting
styles, education, and societal expectations.
By combining these methods, the study ensures a well-
rounded and data-driven analysis. Moreover, the
integration of both qualitative and quantitative
approaches enhances the reliability and validity of the
findings.
DISCUSSION
It is worth noting that the transformation of values in
Karakalpak families is influenced by multiple
interrelated factors. For instance, globalization has
introduced new ideas, lifestyles, and aspirations that
often challenge traditional norms. At the same time,
economic changes have reshaped family structures,
leading to shifts in parental roles and generational
expectations.
Equally important is the influence of digital technology
and social media, which expose younger generations to
diverse perspectives from around the world. As a
consequence, traditional values such as collectivism
and familial obligations may be questioned or
reinterpreted in the modern context. Nevertheless,
despite these changes, cultural identity and heritage
continue to play a crucial role in shaping individual and
collective values.
Furthermore, education serves as a key determinant of
value transformation. On the one hand, formal
education promotes critical thinking and encourages
individuals to question traditional beliefs. On the other
hand, informal education within families reinforces
cultural traditions and moral principles. Therefore, the
interaction between these two forms of education
determines the extent to which values evolve over
time.
Another important factor to consider is the role of
migration and urbanization. As more families move
from rural to urban areas, their exposure to different
social and economic environments increases.
Consequently, younger generations may adopt new
values that differ from those upheld by their ancestors.
Nevertheless, many families strive to maintain a
balance between modernization and cultural heritage,
ensuring that core values remain intact.
To summarize, the study of intergenerational value
transformation in Karakalpak families requires a
multidimensional approach that takes into account
cultural, social, and economic influences. Given the
complexity of this process, a well-structured
methodological framework is essential for capturing
the nuances of value transmission and transformation.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, future research should further explore
the long-term effects of globalization and digitalization
on traditional values in Karakalpak society. Moreover,
comparative studies involving different cultural
contexts could provide additional insights into the
universal
and
culture-specific
aspects
of
intergenerational value change. Ultimately, by
understanding the socio-psychological determinants of
value transformation, researchers can contribute to the
preservation of cultural heritage while facilitating
adaptation to contemporary societal changes.
