PERCEPTION OF PARENTAL ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF DIFFERENT SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF GROWTH IN PRIMARY FAMILY

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to clarify understanding of connections between socio-economic conditions ofgrowth in primary family with perception ofparental acceptance/rejection in childhood. In the survey participated 564 students offinal years ofstudy at 12 faculties at the University of Zagreb. The data were collected by retrospective reports of research participants. The aim of research was to identify differences and correlations offamily socio-economic conditions and perception ofparental acceptance/rejection in childhood. Also, the purpose was to determine if some socio-economic characteristics of family (economic status, education level offather/mother, number of children in family, the size ofplace of living, importance of religion in family s life, health problems of the child and/or other family members, migration in new environment) could be concerned as predictors ofperception ofparental acceptance/rejection. Data were processed using methods of descriptive statistics, analyse of variance, t-test and hierarchic regression analyse. The results show that significant predictors of perception of parental acceptance/rejection are: health problems of child and family members, economic status, number of children in family, parents ’level of education and migration of family. Family religion and size of living place are not shown as significant variables. Results highlight potential risks that derive from socio-economic conditions of primary family and could essentially influence the differences in child’s perception of parental acceptance/rejection. The data implicate the recognition of some crucial problems on which is needed to focus future programs of parents’ empowerment for qualitative parenthood.
