FATHER'S ROLE IN THE MODERN FAMILY ACCORDING TO MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the views of male and female students regarding the role of the father in the modern family. The study examined 144 students representing various full-time and part-time study programs, including 88 students of the Opole University and 56 students of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Based on the results, it was determined that the students perceived the father's role in the modern family as a complex phenomenon. Both partners now share their responsibility for supporting the family and for household and caretaking duties. The father is actively involved in the child's life at every stage of their development, from birth to when they become independent. He changes their diapers, feeds them, reads them bedtime stories, plays together with them, takes them to/from kindergarten/school or helps them do their homework. He is also happy to be involved in everyday shopping, cleaning or cooking activities. Fathers are now more aware of and committed to their children's development, which makes them highly effective in their parenting activities. Unlike before, they are no longer strict and stiff; on the contrary, they exhibit a partner-like attitude, a warm and friendly approach, greater self-confidence and an increased ability to express their feelings in husband/partner-wife/partner and father-child relationships.
