| Abstract | U ovom završnom radu predstavljeni su rezultati istraživanja koje je imalo cilj ispitati stavove studenata prema braku i razvodu te privrženost njihovim partnerima s obzirom na njihovo iskustvo razvoda roditelja. Rezultatima prijašnjih istraživanja utvrđuje se da mladi čiji roditelji ne žive zajedno vide rastavu kao dobro rješenje problematičnog braka te imaju pesimističniji pogled na brak od onih čiji roditelji žive zajedno (Amato, 1996). Uz to, svjedočenjem propalog braka roditelja stvara se emocionalna nesigurnost kod djece, zbog čega u ljubavnoj vezi stvaraju niži stupanj predanosti te smatranje svakog neslaganja kao mogućeg prekida veze (Amato i DeBoer, 2001; Carranza i sur., 2009; Fagan i Churchill, 2012; Ottaway, 2010; Wallerstein i Blakeslee, 2004; Weigel, 2007). U istraživanjima Booth Edwardsa (1990) i Conger i suradnika (2000), sudionici koji odnos svojih roditelja procjenjuju manje kvalitetnim, ujedno iskazuju više poteškoća u vlastitom partnerskom odnosu. Također, Axinn i Thornton (1992, 1993), utvrđuju da ukorijenjeni pozitivni stavovi prema braku mogu imati određenu ulogu pri formiranju ponašanja u intimnim vezama budući da pojedinci s takvim stavovima streme održavanju kvalitete odnosa, te da će oni koji doživljavaju veliku uznemirenost pri pojavi prijetnje gubitku kontakta s jako željenom i potrebnom osobom češće imati negativan stav prema razvodu. U završnom radu prikupljeni su rezultati iskustava studenata o razvodu roditelja, njihova mišljenja o utjecaju razvoda i medija općenito na njihove procjene kvalitete braka roditelja. Također, ispitana je povezanost privrženosti studenata svojim ljubavnim partnerima s procjenom kvalitete braka roditelja i stavovima o braku i razvodu. U svrhu prikupljanja podataka korištena je online anketa koju je ispunio 201 student koji je do sada imao barem jedno iskustvo u ljubavnom partnerskom odnosu ili ga još uvijek ima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na razliku u stavovima o braku i razvodu između studenata čiji roditelji žive i onih čiji roditelji ne žive zajedno na način da sudionici čiji roditelji žive zajedno imaju pozitivnije stavove o braku i negativnije stavove o razvodu. No, te dvije skupine nisu se razlikovale s obzirom na privrženost partneru. Također, utvrđeni su slijedeći obrasci povezanosti između ispitivanih varijabli: značajna pozitivna povezanost između procjena kvalitete braka roditelja sudionika i privrženosti partneru; značajna pozitivna povezanost između stavova o braku i privrženosti partneru; značajna negativna povezanost stavova prema razvodu i separacijske uznemirenosti. Povezanost između stavova prema razvodu i osjećaja sigurnosti u odnosu s partnerom nije se pokazala značajnom. |
| Abstract (english) | In this final thesis, the results of a study are presented that aimed to examine students' attitudes towards marriage and divorce, as well as their attachment to their partners, considering their experience of parental divorce. Previous research has shown that young people whose parents do not live together view divorce as a good solution to a problematic marriage and have a more pessimistic outlook on marriage compared to those whose parents live together (Amato, 1996). Additionally, witnessing a failed parental marriage creates emotional insecurity in their children, leading to a lower level of commitment in romantic relationships and the perception that any disagreement could potentially lead to a breakup (Amato and DeBoer, 2001; Carranza et al., 2009; Fagan and Churchill, 2012; Ottaway, 2010; Wallerstein and Blakeslee, 2004; Weigel, 2007). In researches by Booth Edwards (1990) and Conger et al. (2000), respondents who rated their parents' relationship as less quality also reported more difficulties in their own romantic relationships. Furthermore, Axinn and Thornton (1992, 1993) found that deeply rooted positive attitudes towards marriage can play a role in shaping behavior in intimate relationships, as individuals with such attitudes strive to maintain relationship quality. Those who experience high distress when faced with the threat of losing contact with a highly desired and needed person are more likely to have a negative attitude towards divorce. In the final thesis, data was collected on students' experiences with parental divorce, their opinions on the impact of divorce, and the media in general on their assessments of the quality of their parents' marriage. Additionally, the relationship between students' attachment to their romantic partners and their assessment of the quality of their parents' marriage, as well as their attitudes towards marriage and divorce, was examined. To collect the data, an online survey was used, which was completed by 201 students who have had at least one experience in a romantic relationship or are currently in one. The results indicate a difference in attitudes towards marriage and divorce between students whose parents live together and those whose parents do not, with participants whose parents live together having more positive attitudes towards marriage and more negative attitudes towards divorce. However, these two groups did not differ in terms of attachment to their partner. Furthermore, the following patterns of correlation between the examined variables were identified: a significant positive correlation between participants' assessment of their parents' marriage quality and attachment to their partner; a significant positive correlation between attitudes towards marriage and attachment to their partner; and a significant negative correlation between attitudes towards divorce and separation distress. The correlation between attitudes towards divorce and feelings of security in the relationship with the partner was not found to be significant |
