Connection of Family Relations Quality of an Young Adults Relationships Expectations

Imajući u vidu povezanost obiteljskih odnosa s obrascima ponašanja u romantičnim vezama, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati postoje li razlike u očekivanjima od romantičnih odnosa s obzirom na kvalitetu obiteljskih odnosa sudionika, kao što su privrženost roditeljima, značajke njihovih sukoba i bračni status. U istraživanju je sudjelovao prigodni uzorak od 335 sudionika (277 ženskog i 58 muškog spola) u rasponu dobi od 18 do 35 godina. Sudionici su ispunjavali online upitnik kojem su pristupali dobrovoljno putem društvenih mreža na vlastitom računalu. Prikupljeni su demografski podaci sudionika te su korištene mjereInventar vjerovanja obliskim vezama, Skala straha od intimnosti, Inventar privrženosti za majku i za oca i Skala dječje percepcije sukoba roditelja. Nisu dobivene razlike s obzirom na bračni status roditelja u vjerovanjima o romantičnim vezama. Sudionici se nisu razlikovali u strahu od intimnosti s obzirom na bračni status njihovih roditelja. Značajni prediktori za iracionalna vjerovanja o bliskim vezama su izraženije dimnezije anksioznosti u odnosu s ocem te strah od intimnosti. Značajni prediktori za strah od intimnosti su izraženije dimenzije anksioznosti i izbjegavanja u odnosu s majkom te vjerovanja o romantičnm vezama. Značajke sukoba roditelja nisu se pokazale značajnim prediktorom ni u jednom regresijskom modelu. Dobiveni su rezultati komentirani u kontekstu postojećih istraživanja i teorija.Bearing on mind connection of family relations with behaviour patterns in romantic relations, the aim of this study was to examine differences in romantic expectations with regard to quality of family relations of participants, such as attachment to parents, their parents' conflict features or marital status.
