Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines the psychological profile of children in seamen's families. These children grow up in the long absense of their fathers and the excessive working engagements of their mothers, with an early sharing of the burden of family commitment which all leads to the children's premature social maturing. In the systamatic absense of the father and the functional overburdening of the mother it is possible that the children may get the sense of guilt caused by the difficult family conditions and the inability of the children to react adequately to the family needs simultaneously of personal responsibility and strict collaboration. In the well stabilized seamen's families there is a strong tendency for the children to ape their parents. In such families there are urges for a stronger manifestation of children's inner norms and for the formulation and fulfilment of more clearly defined goals. We have then a supression of expansionist behaviour, engagements tend to multiply, the role of family regulation is growing. The purposeful activation softens the relationship of the children to the social environment, keeps alive their respect for the older people and opens up the perceptivity for various stimuli. A higher degree of correlation between the wide range of personal interests and the underlined interactive tolerance, between the value perspective and affiliative aptnesses, between the personal definitiveness in the family and the social concretization are observed too.
