Religioznost kao determinanta studentskih stavova o braku

Urušavanjem socijalizma u Hrvatskoj, uočava se sve veći trend revitalizacije religije u društvu. No, osim revitalizacije tradicionalne crkvene religioznosti, istovremeno se odvija i proces sekularizacije, gdje su stavovi i vrijednosti u društvu modernije i udaljavaju se od crkvenih učenja i stavova. Moderniji stavovi posebno se uočavaju kod mladih, koji su bili i predmet ovog rada. Cilj rada je analiza povezanosti religioznosti ispitanika sa njihovim stavovima o braku i kohabitaciji. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 384 ispitanika, odnosno studenata, sa ukupno šest sastavnica Sveučilišta u Rijeci. Kao mjerni instrument korišten je upitnik sa ukupno 37 varijabli kojima su ispitivani stavovi o braku i obitelji, religioznost ispitanika i sociodemografska obilježja. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju razliku između tradicionalne i aktualne religioznosti ispitanika, gdje je većina studenata tradicionalno religiozna. Ispitanici imaju pozitivan stav prema tradicionalnom braku, ali i prema kohabitaciji kao alternativnom životnom stilu. Također, utvrđeno je da religiozniji ispitanici imaju pozitivnije stavove o tradicionalnom braku, a negativnije o razvodu i kohabitaciji.With the collapse of socialism in Croatia, in society is observed an increasing trend of religion revitalization. However, in addition to the revitalization of traditional church religiosity, process of secularization is also taking place at the same time, where opinions and values are becoming modern and move away from church teachings and attitudes. These modern opinions are especially observed in youth, who are a subject in this thesis. The goal of this thesis was to analyze the connection between religiosity and attitudes about marriage and cohabitation in youth. 384 respondents, i.e., students from six departments of University of Rijeka, participated in research. A questionnaire with 37 variables was used to examine attitudes about marriage and family, religiosity, and sociodemographic characteristics. Results show that there is difference in traditional and current religiosity of students, where most students are traditionally religious. Respondents have positive attitude about traditional marriage, but also about cohabitation as alternative lifestyle. Also, it is determined that more religious respondents have more positive attitudes about traditional marriage and more negative attitudes about divorce and cohabitation
