SLIČNOSTI I RAZLIKE U KVALITETI PORODIČNIH ODNOSA S MAJKOM I OCEM U RAZVOJNOM PERIODU ADOLESCENCIJE

Abstract

The survey conducted on a sample of 91 subjects, students of various departments at Faculty of Philosophy in Tuzla, was aimed to identify how they estimated quality of the relationship with their parents. For this purpose questionnaires of past and present relationships with mother and father were applied, in which the quality of relationships between parents and adolescents through the dimensions of past relationships – the care, control and rejection, and present relationships – through the perception of support and negative relationships with parents was assessed. The results confirmed the hypothesis that adolescents assessed relationships with their parents as positive, regardless of the dimension of time. Also, the results showed that there was a high overlap between the adolescents’ assessments of relationships with parents in the past and the present, and that the mutual assessments of father and mother highly correlated, so we could discuss about coordination of parental child-rearing practices. Nevertheless, there were significant differences in the perception of positive and negative aspects of the relationship of mother and father. The study results pointed to the fact that on the positive dimensions adolescents assessed care, support and control of mother in higher values, while on the negative dimensions of parenting they valued more rejection and negative relationships with their father.
