The study of self-relationship and family attitudes and values in adult sportsman (on the example of ethnic and practicing Muslims)

“…The relevance of the problem becomes evident in the research review devoted to the study of self-relationship and family attitudes and values in adolescence. However, there are not enough scientific works devoted to the topic consideration in the context of confessional affiliation among religiously practicing and ethnic Muslims (Murtazina & Minullina, 2014;Murtazina & Minullina, 2013;Murtazina, 2019;Murtazina, 2018). This work is intended to fill the gap.…”
