Summary/Abstract: A starting point for the research presented in the article is a low social and political activity of Poles diagnosed in many different research projects. A psychological explanation of this phenomenon proposed by the author is a negative perception of the present-day social and political world which discourages people from engaging in the activity in favour of some common good. The source of the negative perception could be parental attitudes and a general family atmosphere. The aim of the two own studies; the first of which was conducted among the students (N = 197), while the second among a representative of adult Poles (N = 850), was to check the relationship between mothers’ and fathers’ attitudes (diagnosed via the questionnaire on parental attitudes) and a general family atmosphere (measured by an author’s scale) and such negative beliefs about the world as social Darwinism, materialism, life as a zero-sum game, the world as a danger on the part of other people.
