Attitudes about Relationships and Role Expectations in Couples, Among People Who Consider Themselves Bringing up by One Parent

The master's thesis was completed as part of the course of systemic family psychotherapy. The purpose of this study is to study the characteristics of attitudes and role expectations from a partner in people who define themselves as a person raised by one parent. The sample consisted of 237 people. The general hypothesis that people who consider themselves raised by one parent have different attitudes and role expectations from a partner than people who consider themselves raised by two parents was confirmed. The results indicate that people who consider themselves raised by a single parent are characterized by stronger relationships between attitudes toward children, family, sex, and various aspects of role expectations from a partner, especially in the areas of parenting, emotional intimacy, and joint activities. This group shows more strong correlations between different attitudes and role expectations.
