Summary/Abstract: The aim was to assess the strength of the relationship between the closeness and the frequency of relations between grandchildren and grandparents, taking into account the age of life and the structure of the family of origin of the respondents. The research was conducted on a group of adolescents who retrospectively assessed their relationship with their grandparents. The obtained results showed that young people assessed the closeness and frequency of contact with their maternal grandmother more favorably in single mother families than respondents from full families. On the other hand, young people from full families assess the quality of life higher than those from single mother families.
