Attitudes and Opinions of Young People in Split on the Value of Marriage and the Family Life

U okviru rada proveli smo istraživanje stavova i mišljenja mladih grada Splita o vrijednostima braka i obiteljskog života. Cilj istraživanja bio je doći do konkretnih i pouzdanih informacija koje se tiču najbitnijih institucija u životu pojedinca, braka i obitelji. Istraživanje nam je pružilo uvid u shvaćanja i percepciju mladih po pitanju njihovih obitelji, ali sliku o njihovim procjenama braka s kojima su se imali priliku suočiti tijekom dosadašnjeg života. Kao odgovarajuću metodu odabrana je anketa, dok je istraživanje provedeno na području Splita. U prikazu rezultata istraživanja možemo zaključiti kako su se sve hipoteze ispostavile kao točne. Na kraju istraživačkog procesa dobiveni podaci potvrđuju sve četiri postavljene hipoteze. Stav mladih spram braka i obitelji je pokazatelj promjena unutar obitelji i zbog toga je od velikog značaja nastaviti istraživanja o ovoj temi. Obitelj kao primarna društvena zajednica je od neizmjerne važnosti za razvoj svakog pojedinca. Učenjem o obitelji učimo o sebi kao pojedincu te o društvu kao kolektivu.Within the scope of work, we researched attitudes and opinions of young people of the town Split about the values of marriage and family life. The goal of the research was to obtain concrete and reliable information related to the most important institutions in a life of an individual – marriage and family. The research has provided us with both the insight into young people's understanding and perception of their family and the picture of their marriage assessment, which they have an opportunity to encounter so far. As an appropriate method, a poll was chosen, while the research was conducted in Split. According to the results, we can conclude that all hypothesis proved to be right. At the end of the research process, the received data confirm all four hypotheses. The attitude of young people toward marriage and family is an indicator of changes within family therefore further research on this topic is a matter of great importance. Family as the primary social community has a great importance in the development of everyone. By learning about family, we learn about ourselves as individuals and society as collective
