The article addresses the empiric study of superstitious beliefs of teenagers influenced by the parent’s superstitions and parental attitudes. The population of the study included 46 adolescents aged 12-18 and 72 parents (mothers and fathers). The following methodology was used with the teenagers: “Superstitiousness Inventory” by Abitov, “Beliefs and Superstitions Questionnaire” by Stoyanova, questionnaire “Teenagers about Parents” by Wasserman, Gorkova, Romontzina and projective technique “Family sociogram” by Eidemiller and Nikilskaya. Parents were studied with the use of “Superstitiousness Inventory” by Abitov, “Beliefs and Superstitions Questionnaire” by Stoyanova, questionnaire “Family relationships analysis” (variant for parents who have 11-21-year-old children) by Eidemiller and Yustitskis and projective technique “Family sociogram” by Eidemiller, and Nikilskaya. It was found that the way teenagers experience parental attitude and peculiarities of parental attitude influence the superstitious beliefs of adolescents: father’s hostility and phobia of loss of a child contribute to the development of pralogical perception and magic anxiety; mother’s educational inconsistency contribute to the development of magical forecasting; father’s hostility, excessiveness and insufficiency of requirements for the child and emotional rejection promote the teenagers’ propensity for going to mentalists and for paying attention to signs; father’s directivity and mother’s low directivity impact the high level of superstitiousness. It was also revealed that various components of parental superstitiousness determine superstitiousness of teenagers by 55%.
