Family Determinants of Young People’s Attitudes Towards Pornography. A Research Report

Summary/Abstract: Pornography is among the phenomena which have not been clearly defined in the subject literature yet. The ambiguity of the phenomenon promoted in contemporary social and cultural reality and its normalization causes that it can be interpreted and evaluated in many different ways. Available research and analyses lack any approach that would describe how pornography affects the development and behavior of youth in different care and upbringing environments.This article aims to discuss the results of the author’s study related to family determinants of youth’s attitudes towards pornography. The author’s intention is to initiate a discussion and a further study of this topic. The study was based on a sample of 127 students. To obtain empirical data, a survey questionnaire created by the author was used. Through this analysis, an attempt was made to find answers to the question if selected variables of a family environment (the type of parental relationship, type of parenting style in a family, a sense of emotional support from parents, values adopted by parents) differentiate a youth’s attitudes towards pornography in cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects.
