Abstract

U suvremenom društvu dolazi do brojnih demografskih promjena poput manje stope fertiliteta, povećanja starosti majke pri porodu i obitelji koje nemaju djecu. Navedene promjene najčešće se promatraju iz društvene perspektive, dok se zanemaruju individualne razlike koje pridonose donošenju odluka o imanju djece. Zato je cilj ovog istraživanja ispitati ulogu nekih psihološki varijabli, s naglaskom na privrženost i emocionalnu inteligenciju, u motivaciji za roditeljstvo na uzorku hrvatskih studentica. U online istraživanju sudjelovalo je 234 studentice Sveučilišta u Zagrebu koje su ispunjavale upitnike i skale o sociodemografskim podacima, religioznosti, privrženosti odraslih u bliskim odnosima, emocionalnim kompetencijama i želji za rađanje djece. Statističkim analizama utvrđeno je kako studentice imaju umjerenu razinu pozitivne i negativne motivacije za roditeljstvo te kako su navedene motivacije jednako izražene. Pozitivna motivacija za roditeljstvom pozitivno je povezana s religioznosti te je dobivena vrlo niska korelacija s emocionalnom inteligencija i sposobnosti uočavanja i razumijevanja emocija. Negativna motivacija za roditeljstvo pozitivno je povezana s dimenzijom anksioznosti, a negativno povezana je s religioznosti, emocionalnom inteligencijom i sposobnostima uočavanja i razumijevanja emocija, izražavanja i imenovanja emocija te regulacijom i upravljanjem emocijama. Značajni prediktori i pozitivne i negativne motivacije za roditeljstvo pokazali su se jednino religioznost i sposobnost regulacije i upravljanja emocijama. Većina studentica želi imati dvoje djece, ali podržavaju odluku drugih žena da nemaju djecu. Smatraju kako je idealna dob za rađanje prvog djeteta u rasponu od 25 i 29 godina. Demografske mjere koje su prepoznale kao najvažnije su osiguravanje zdravstvene zaštite majke i djeteta, subvencioniranje stambenog kredita ili podstanarstva te mjeru poticanja očeva da se aktivnije uključe u skrb o dojenčadi.

Abstract (english)

In modern society, numerous demographic changes are occurring such as lower fertility rates, an increase in the age of mothers at childbirth, and bigger number of families without children. These changes are most often viewed from a social perspective, while individual differences that contribute to decisions about having children are overlooked. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the role of certain psychological variables, with an emphasis on attachment and emotional intelligence in the motivation for parenthood among a sample of Croatian female students. A total of 234 female students from the University of Zagreb participated in an online survey, completing questionnaires and scales on sociodemographic data, religiosity, adult attachment in close relationships, emotional competencies, and the desire to have children. Statistical analyses revealed that the students had a moderate level of both positive and negative motivation for parenthood, with these motivations being equally expressed. Positive motivation for parenthood was positively correlated with religiosity and a very low correlation was found with emotional intelligence and the ability to perceive and understand emotions. Negative motivation for parenthood was positively correlated with the dimension of anxiety and negatively correlated with religiosity, emotional intelligence, the ability to perceive and understand emotions, the expression and naming emotions and the regulation and management of emotions. Significant predictors of both positive and negative motivation for parenthood were found to be religiosity and the ability to regulate and manage emotions. Most of the students expressed a desire to have two children, but supported the decision of other women not to have children. They considered the ideal age for having a first child to be between 25 and 29 years. The demographic measures they identified as most important included ensuring healthcare for mother and child, subsidizing housing loans or rent and encouraging fathers to become more actively involved in the care of infants.
