Postawy uczniów szkół ponadgimnazjalnych wobec przeszłości i historii Polski XX w.
Attitudes of students towards the past and Polish history of the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: This article presents two models for conducting sociological research on attitudes towards history, with a brief discussion on the results of a survey conducted in 2015 on a sample of 3744 students of upper secondary schools. The first model is based on the concept of collective memory, its functionality and viability. It relates to a typology of attitudes based on the experience of history in everyday life (the so-called antiquary, historical and monumental dimensions). This typology is enriched with the idea of family, local and national levels. The second model is the structural definition of attitudes, popularized in Poland by Stefan Nowak, founded on three components of attitudes (affective, cognitive and behavioral).
