Selected aspects of attachment parenting in the opinion of college students

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to learn about the opinions of university students of education on selected aspects of attachment parenting as well as to present those opinions. The problem is not only important from the point of view of the individual histories but it also has a wider, societal dimension. The more rational and healthy parental decisions there are, the better off society gets. The detailed research problems posed in this paper include the opinions of attachment by the respondents regarding the preparation for parenthood; what importance they attribute to hugging the child by the parent; what the opinions of the respondents on positive discipline are, and what their knowledge of the perils related to physical contact is. Materials and methods. The study was conducted using a diagnostic interview with a group of 124 education students at the University of Zielona Gora. Results. The results show that respondents lack knowledge of the importance of physical contact in child development. The reluctance expressed by male respondents to educate themselves as well as prepare for fatherhood may be considered a serious social issue. The fact that, at the same time, they don’t accept positive discipline and approve of corporal punishment, which is expressed by over half of the male respondents, seems especially worrying.
