Some General and Family Values in Rural and Urban Settlements

Autori analiziraju rezultate istraživanja procjene nekih općih (socijalnih) i obiteljskih vrednota u očeva i majka djece osnovnoškolske dobi u Hrvatskoj poslije Domovinskog rata. Uzorak čine 752 bračna para iz sela, grada i velikoga grada. U radu su prikazane usporedbe procjena ispitanika u njihovu prebivalištu i usporedbe procjena ispitanika iz naselja različitih veličina. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da ispitanici, neovisno o partnerskoj ulozi i vrsti naselja u kojem prebivaju, veću važnost daju obiteljskima nego općim vrednotama. U procjenjivanju sedam ponuđenih općih vrednota muževi i žene su najviši rang dali vrednotama »ljubav« i »vjernost« te »poštenje« i »čovječnost«, neovisno o sredini u kojoj žive. Analiza podataka je pokazala da vrednotu »ljubav« statistički značajno različito procjenjuju muževi i žene te ispitanici iz različitih vrsta naselja. U procjenjivanju pet ponuđenih obiteljskih vrednota najviša mjesta na rang listi zauzele su vrednote »dijete« i »obitelj«. Razlike u vrjednovanju »braka« pokazuju da ga ispitanici sa sela vrjednuju više nego oni u gradu te da se partnerstvu daje prednost više u gradskoj nego u seoskoj sredini. Vrijednosti nekih pokazatelja obiteljske dinamike govore u prilog poštivanja egalitarnog vrijednosnog sustava u obiteljima pri donošenju odluka, provedbi postupaka važnih za obitelj i u funkcioniranju obitelji. Tradicionalne obiteljske vrijednosti zadržale su se tek djelomice u naseljima svih veličina a najzastupljenije su u selu. Vrednote egalitarnog sustava prepoznate su vodećim smjernicama u stvaranju osobnih i obiteljskih orijentacija.This paper analyses the results of the research on certain general (social) and family values according to the evaluation of fathers and mothers of primary school children in post war period in Croatia. Research included 752 married couples from the villages, towns and cities in Croatia. The paper compares the evaluation of the subjects within their residence area as well as between different size residence areas. Results of the research show that subjects, regardless of their partner role or their area of residence, give more importance to family than to general values. According to evaluation of general values of fathers and mothers, out of the seven offered values »love« and »honesty«, »loyalty« and »humanity« have the highest position on the rank list, regardless of their social environment. Data analysis shows that there are statistically significant differences in the evaluation of value »love« between fathers and mothers as well as between subjects from different types of settlements. Out of the five offered family values, values »child« and »family« are positioned highest on the rank list. The results also show that »marriage« is valued more in villages value than towns, while »partnership« is a value preferred more in towns than in the country. The paper presents results of same indicators of family dynamics, which demonstrate actual existence of egalitarian value system in families, in decision-making, in realisation of procedures, which are important for the family and in the functioning of the family. Traditional family values are infrequently present in all types of settlements however their presence is the highest in the country. Values of egalitarian system are recognized as the main guide lines in creating personal and family life
