| Description | Objectives. The research focuses on the relationship between attitudes toward divorce, perceived parental conflict, father-child relationship quality and parental cooperation. The aim of the study was also find out whether there is a difference between young adults‘ divorce attitudes from intact and divorce families. Sample and setting. Research sample included 497 undergraduates (including 315 women) at the age between 20 and 30. 68,6 % of sample was from intact families, 28,6 % from divorced families and 2,8 % reported different option. All respondents were tested using the IPPA, CPIC, CBQ and attitude toward divorce questionnaire. Hypotheses. Parental conflict and quality of father-child relationship were expected to predict divorce attitudes more than the experience of parental divorce itself. It was also expect that young adults from divorce families don’t have more positive divorce attitude compared to young adults from intact families. Statistical analysis. The hypotheses were tested using linear and hierarchical regressions and t-tests. Results. The quality of father-child relationship and experience of parental divorce were found to predict young adults‘ divorce attitudes. The parental cooperation was found to predict quality of father-child relationship perceived by young adults and to mediate a relationship between parental conflict and divorce attitudes. Young adults from divorced families have more positive attitudes toward divorce than young adults from intact families. Study limitation. Snowball selection of respondents and the use of nonstandardized methods for czech young adults represent the biggest limits of the study. |
