The Experience of the Parents’ Absence and the Declared Life Aspirations of School-age Young People. Summary of Research Findings

Summary/Abstract: The family, in its numerous structural and socio-emotional characteristics, creates a unique environment conditioning the formation of evaluative orientations, life plans and aspirations of the young generation. Experiencing the parents’ absence in one’s upbringing significantly diversifies the aspirations manifested by the young people. The undertaken empirical research shows that children from single-parent families more often appreciate the value of health, honesty, faith and tranquillity; they also more often express their aspiration to be financially independent, as well as their intention to undertake university studies and work at the same time. Young people who experience their parents’ physical absence more often have no intention to get actively involved in the work of the church they belong to, and they ascribe a significant influence on their own views and opinions to themselves.
