“…Scientists Elliot D.L., Kobayashi S. on the basis of a qualitative study examine the experience of academic leaders and foreign graduate students regarding academic and psychosocial adaptation in a new cultural environment and emphasize the importance of intercultural aspects of mentoring of academic leaders [5]. This emphasizes the importance of curatorial service, mentoring and ensuring constructive intercultural communications and tolerance, especially during the period of adaptation of students and graduate students to study at a university [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].…”

The article presents the research results of the adaptation of the modern generation of university freshmen to study. We present the analysis of the socio-psychological characteristics of the modern generation of freshmen 2020. New requests and expectations of students to the educational process at the university, the transformation of competencies demanded by the economy form development vectors for universities, including the issues of ensuring the successful adaptation of the new incoming students. We considered important trends in the discussion of adaptation problems that are described in the publications of the scientific community. The balance between socio-psychological and educational adaptation is justified when the university works with freshmen of 2020. The key approaches in which may be as follows. The first is the development of an impression economy-a positive emotional background of what is happening. The second is a sense of importance and significance of the student's personality, psychological interaction. The third is creating a successful situation for everyone-a variety of proposals for finding areas of personal growth. The fourth is early immersion in social and professional networks. And the last is relevant educational and extracurricular digital content.

“…In Russian-Jewish families in the FSU, children were usually not involved in family duties, and their main job was to pursue their education (e.g., Lerner et al, 2007). The importance of education and parents’ investment in their children’s studies continued after immigration to Israel as well (Binhas & Yaknich, 2019). The majority of FSU immigrant parents were socialized by child-rearing methods that foster obedience and group-mindedness (Shor, 1999; Yakhnich, 2016).…”

Immigration is a multifaceted process that alters parent-child relationships and impacts immigrant children’s development. However, not much is known regarding the long-term implications of immigration on children when they reach adulthood. This phenomenological study explored the perceptions of parent-child relationships among young adults who immigrated as children to Israel, and the ways such relationships shaped their future parenting perceptions. Twenty-five young adults who immigrated to Israel in middle and late childhood from Ethiopia ( n = 14) and from the former Soviet Union ( n = 11) were interviewed for this study. Analysis indicated that the participants’ experiences of relations with their parents may be organized into three main domains: shifting relations in the context of immigration, relations in the context of long-term adaptation and maturation, and relations in cultural context (e.g., cultural perceptions about family life and culture-related immigration challenges). Participants’ perceptions of their own parenting incorporated culture-specific factors (e.g., family hierarchy and cohesiveness, child-rearing practices, and respect given to parents) as well as difficulties and strengths experienced by the participants’ families during immigration. Although most participants wished to be different from their parents (not wanting their children to work so hard) they hoped to preserve some of their culture of origin’s child-rearing practices. The findings have implications for professionals who work with immigrant families and for policy makers. Considering a family’s specific cultural background and helping parents integrate diverse parental practices may assist immigrant families in coping with challenges of immigration and help young adults who immigrated as children in creating a coherent parenthood.
