11. Summarize thenew resultsof the thesis:

* In theory

- Based on inheriting and systematizing theoretical issues from research works both domestically and internationally, the thesis develops the concept of family value orientation among young people, manifested in five aspects: Marriage; Childbearing and raising children; Parent-child relationship; Gender roles; and responsibilities within the family.

* In practical terms

Overall, the young people in this study tended to combine traditional and modern elements in their family value orientation.

- Young people tend to be more open-minded and lean towards modern values ​​in their value orientation regarding childbirth and raising and caring for children.

- In their relationship with their parents, young people exhibit traditional views, mostly expressing respect for their parents and agreeing that they should follow their parents' guidance and opinions in all matters of life.

- Regarding gender roles in the family, the survey of the target group revealed a trend of young people choosing very modern values ​​in their family value orientation: men and women should have equal responsibility and decision-making power regarding household chores.

- Regarding the responsibilities of family members, there is a tendency to preserve traditional values ​​in the family value orientation of young people: filial piety remains a value highly valued by young people.

- The results comparing differences in family value orientation across various demographic variable groups have outlined the potential impact of these variables on young people's family value orientation. In particular, young women in the study tended to be more proactive in adopting changes in family values ​​in a more individualistic direction than young men.

- The difference between this thesis and previous studies is its focus on understanding young people's orientation in choosing family values ​​that suit them, based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, thereby proposing measures to guide young people towards appropriate family values.

12. Practical applications: Based on the research results, the thesis proposes several measures to help young people develop family values ​​that are consistent with social requirements and realities, as follows:

- For young people themselves: Self-cultivate and enhance their awareness of the psychological and physiological characteristics of youth and the importance of value orientation in general and family value orientation in particular; Coordinate with family, school, and community to effectively implement family value orientation activities for themselves.

- For families: Raising awareness among family members about the psychophysiological characteristics of youth; guiding youth towards family values; the importance of educating youth on family values ​​in general and specifically on family value orientation; building a healthy family culture, using scientific methods of value education and family value orientation that are appropriate to the psychophysiological characteristics of youth; coordinating with schools and the community to effectively implement family value orientation activities for youth.

- For society: Ensuring the uniformity, effectiveness, and strictness of the legal system regarding family, youth, and value education for young people; Innovating the dissemination and education of laws on family, youth, and value orientation for young people.

13. Future research directions

- Long-term and cross-cultural research on youth's family value orientation is a promising approach, aiming to examine and compare changes in family value orientation across different time, space, and cultural contexts.

- In-depth exploration of qualitative research methods such as case studies and focus group discussions can uncover diverse ideas from young people, as these methods provide them with more opportunities to express their opinions and perspectives.
