Aksjologiczne podstawy relacji międzypokoleniowych w rodzinie. Z badań socjologicznych na Słowacji

Abstract

When changes affecting contemporary culture are taken into consideration, one may observe that the family undergoes significant transformations and is staring to lose its privileged place within the structures of the social world. The contemporary culture is willing to place its bets on an individual, rather than on the family. One of the most basic values of the family life is trust, which constructs normative standards of social relations. Our research shows that Slovakian families are emotionally integrated by mothers. When social relations in the generations of parents and children are considered, mothers are the most essential when it comes to forming trust-based relationships. Since mothers are granted the biggest capital of trust, the Slovak family is centered upon the figure of mother. Trust has woman’s face.
