Family as a value in the consciousness of contemporary Polish women
Abstract
This paper aims at an analysis of the meaning of family as a value in the consciousness
of contemporary Polish women. Main results of empirical research carried out as a
part of a PhD dissertation entitled "Preferences of the normative orders in women's
attitudes towards values in Poland at the turn of 20th and 21st century" have been presented.
The article consists of five parts, first of which deals with the rank of family declared
by the interviewed women. The second part concerns motherhood as the aspect of
family life and, as the research revealed, the separate and crucial value for the significant
number of women. For many of them being a mother is much more important than any
other social role: wife, employee, student, etc. This fact refers to culture patterns and
gender identity. The third part of the text is about the relations between family and professional
career.
The empirical study enabled observation of the main differences in life priorities in
consecutive life-stages. The fourth part of the article focuses on the different ways in
which women define some notions like "happy family" or "success". The fifth chapter
deals with components of life-styles which indicate different systems of values and different
models of family life.
