Abstract
This article examines the psychological and artistic representation of interpersonal relationships in Uzbek and English short fiction from a comparative-typological perspective. It focuses on the artistic representation of such factors as family environment, social conditions, moral values, national mentality, personal needs, and individual choice in shaping interpersonal relationships. The study demonstrates that in Uzbek short fiction, interpersonal relationships are closely associated with family, kinship, social environment, national values, and moral norms, whereas English short fiction more frequently emphasizes individual choice, emotional intimacy, alienation, and the inner world of the individual.
