Family cohesion and attached parenthood as the correlates of social outcomes of youth.

Early experiences with parent have an important role for healthy growth of individual (Ajduković and others, 2007). Through parenthood are accomplished developmental assumptions of the independence of young person, who on that bases, creates abilities for participation into society (Cleaver, 2004). In that context, the adolescents’ perception of parental attachment and family cohesion are significant factors for development of their self-esteem, peer relationship, independency, progress in education and their participation in society (Aldgate and Jones, 2004). Studies show that low level of family cohesion is associated with personal and societal difficulties of youth and their low social adjustment (Harold i Conger, 1997). Secure parental attachment is connected with adolescents’ mental and emotional health, higher level of self-control and stronger intimate relationship (Klarin, 2006). The purpose of paper is to recognize the potentials of youth for independency, self-actualisation, socialisation in new environment, and society. The results present correlation between family cohesion and parental attachment with the socialisation outcomes of young adults. The sample consists of the students of the University of Zagreb (N=233). In research are used questionnaires of parental acceptance/rejection (Rohner and others, 1978), family cohesion (Olson, 1981) and parental attachment-PAQ (Kenny, 1985). The data are analysed by multivariate methods.
