Family and Gender Relationships: Crisis and Future Technologies

Modern society, saturated with technology and innovation, remains paradoxically helpless in addressing fundamental humanitarian issues. One of these is the creation of stable romantic and family relationships. How did we reach a point where the foundations of family development are barely capable of withstanding everyday pressures?

Many of us assume we are naturally "experts" in gender interactions. This deceptive belief, deeply rooted in mass consciousness, prevents meaningful understanding and exploration of the topic. Making matters worse, modern psychologists and sociologists often focus on diagnosing problems rather than solving them, leaving the technology for sustainable relationships a mere dream.

Current Problems in Family and Gender Relationships

The scope of the crisis becomes clearer when considering these key issues:

• Myths perpetuated by mass culture. Relationships are often built on stereotypes disseminated by social media, films, and other forms of popular culture. This creates unrealistic expectations, far removed from reality. For example, romantic idealism often disregards the challenges of personality compatibility.
• Lack of interaction technologies. Society offers generic advice instead of adaptive models tailored to individual differences. These are ineffective because they fail to consider the unique psychological and typological characteristics of individuals.
• Influence of biases and fleeting social trends. Instead of professional approaches, populist theories often gain traction due to their loudness rather than their validity. For instance, the dismissal of single-sex education as "outdated" has erased models that were proven effective in the past.

Historical Examples: The Role of Single-Sex Education

Single-sex education during the 18th to 20th centuries provides an excellent example of an effective model abandoned under social pressure. Studies reveal that students in single-sex schools achieved higher academic performance, especially in STEM fields. Research from Harvard University shows that separate education helped boys and girls develop stronger self-identities, improving gender interactions later in life.

Today, such methods are rarely used, but adapting them could significantly improve the development of more conscious and thoughtful relationships.

Examples of Modern Crises and Possible Solutions

Current Situation:

• Trust Crisis: People are increasingly disillusioned with the possibility of building meaningful relationships.
• Overdependence on technology: Dating apps often confuse users rather than help them.
• Ignoring individual differences: Generic advice fails to address the unique needs of each person.

Future with Technology:

Imagine a system that:

• Scans your preferences, communication style, and socionics type;
• Creates a behavioral model for harmonious relationships;
• Offers step-by-step conflict resolution strategies.

Such technologies could transform the chaotic process of building relationships into a managed system.

Personality Typology: The First Step Toward Future Technologies

Personality typology is not a perfect tool, but it serves as an essential first step in developing humanitarian technologies. Expecting 100% accuracy is naive. Critics may dismiss typology as pseudoscience, but such arguments often come from those who offer no better alternatives. Similar to medicine or meteorology, a 50–70% accuracy rate in typology can already produce excellent results, especially when combined with big data and advanced systems.

Why Typology is the Best Starting Point:

1. It’s already developed. Typology frameworks like Socionics are based on decades of research and observation. These models provide structured systems of typing, interaction analysis, and compatibility recommendations, requiring no reinvention.
2. It’s accessible and scalable. Typology can easily be applied to large datasets. People can self-identify their types or use questionnaires, unlike psychotherapy, which demands individual attention for every session.
3. Errors are normal. Medical systems, even with sophisticated tools, have error rates of up to 20%. Despite this, hospitals remain open, and pharmaceutical companies are not disbanded. Meteorology also survives with its low accuracy in long-term forecasts because even partial accuracy reduces risks. Typology offers similar benefits by reducing errors in interpersonal predictions.

Building a Technology Platform Based on Typology

To make typology more than just a descriptive tool, it needs to be integrated into a full-fledged technological framework. Here’s how:

Steps:

• Collect data: Gather information such as gender, age, education, work experience, languages, and typology data (Socionics).
• Analyze external factors: Consider context like culture, economic development, and resource accessibility.
• Use big data: Machine learning can identify patterns and improve models, similar to medical research that refines hypotheses through case studies.

Goals:

• Create personality profiles to predict behavior in various contexts.
• Develop relationship-building recommendations based on real data, not stereotypes.
• Design adaptive models that account for environmental and contextual changes.

Conclusion

The crisis in family relationships is not just a personal problem—it reflects systemic failure due to a lack of educational and technological solutions. By integrating personality typology, we can create innovative tools to improve lives and advance the humanities.

Leveraging Socionics and MBTI data allows for inclusive, adaptable systems. However, this requires bold thinking, rejecting outdated approaches, and investing in data-driven solutions.

The choice is ours: continue navigating chaos or establish systems that bring clarity, precision, and harmony to human relationships.
