The influence of parental conflicts on preschool children

V diplomskem delu Vpliv starševskih konfliktov na predšolskega otroka sem želela podrobneje ovrednotiti in raziskati, kako vplivajo konflikti med starši na predšolskega otroka. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu pišem na splošno o konfliktih, kakšne pozitivne in negativne posledice imajo, kako vplivajo na otroka, kako otroci reagirajo nanje in kako se naj s tem spoprimejo starši. V empiričnem delu naloge sem s pomočjo deskriptivne in kavzalne neeksperimentalne metode na vzorcu iz konkretne populacije 87 staršev vrtčevskih otrok raziskala doživljanje konfliktov v družini. Pri zbiranju podatkov sem uporabila kvantitativno tehniko zbiranja podatkov, in sicer anketni vprašalnik zaprtega tipa. S pomočjo deskriptivne statistike sem ugotovila, da po mnenju staršev starševski konflikti vplivajo na predšolskega otroka, da starši različno reagirajo in rešujejo konflikte, ki se pojavljajo v družini, in da tako tudi vsaka družina drugače vpliva na otroka, ko se pojavijo konflikti.In the diploma paper titled The Impact of Parental Conflicts on a Pre-School Child I wanted to thoroughly evaluate and examine what impact do conflicts between parents have on a pre-school child. The diploma paper consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part deals with conflicts in general, what are their positive and negative impacts, what impact do they have on a child, how children react to them and how should parents deal with them. In the empirical part of the paper, using descriptive and causal non experimental method on a specific population sample of 87 parents of pre-school children. To gather data, closed-ended questions were used, which is a quantitative data gathering technique. Using descriptive statistics, we determined that parents believe that parental conflicts have an impact on the pre-school child and that parents have different ways of reacting to family conflicts and dealing with them. We thus determined that each family has a different impact on the child when conflicts arise
