The influence of status on relationships in the families of reserve officers

The article reveals the empirical results of a sociological study in order to identify the impact of the status of Saratov servicemen after the end of military service on their family relations. The study was conducted by questionnaire method. 356 former Saratov servicemen - reserve offi cers were interviewed using a probabilistic quota-territorial sample. The results were processed in the SPSS program. It turned out that the higher the rank of a reserve offi cer, the more children in his family, the better his material support and intra-family relations.

It is noted that they retain their connection with the army, a social institution consisting of a rigidly hierarchical large armed aggregate of people, under the control of the state, ensuring the protection, defending national interests and providing assistance to other countries in confl icts.
