Family members as important role models of contemporary adolescents

Original language description

The paper analyses role models of contemporary adolescents coming from their family background. Family patterns, values and ideals from close family network are perceived as an important aspect in socialization. The main research questions contain: In what extent do contemporary adolescents accept their family members as role models? What characteristics are important for them? Who are respondents who look up to their family members? Study focuses primarily on identifying respondents, who chose their model from their family and how they differ from others, who preferred somebody else. Furthermore, the text analyses which characteristics of parents/family members were important to the respondents and how was the choice for father and mother different. The text is based on results of a survey implemented in 2015 as a questionnaire among children and adolescents aged 9 – 17 years. Analysis of the research has included sample of 1010 children and used the basic statistical tools for an analysis. Our results showed that almost one third of respondents named somebody from their family circle as their role model. The age of respondents did not play a significant role; however there were statistically significant correlations between the gender of respondents and their choice – what they admired about their models, what they would imitate and what they do for that. We can conclude that those who perceived family members as their role models significantly more preferred character attributes and social skills of their models, they tried to imitate them precisely in this sphere and were convinced, that they were able to achieve it. They were less focused on appearance and material aspects of their models and their choices had mostly a certain “inner dimension”.
