Studies on family in the scientific circles of Poznań
Abstract
Family is a difficult and complex subject of the scientific research. It is effected
by a number of reasons which are making matters difficult in the degree
and range not encountered in other domains of social studies.
Although the interest payed to the family by the social sciences in Poland
has already a rich and long standing tradition, particular scientific disciplines
have been including themselves to the studies in various periods of time. Relatively
the earlies participation has been noted in anthropology and ethnography,
next in sociology, demography, social psychology, economic sciences, law and
recently, in ecology and medical sciences.
Various scientific centeres in the country are engaged in the studies. As the
research proceeds, the Poznań center is taking the leading position transforming
itself gradually in the main center of studies on population microstructures in
Poland. Two centrally directed problems are being coordinated in that center:
of sociological research (University of Poznań) and of demographic research (Academy
of Economics in Poznań). Within the structure of the latter, there is the
sole Polish Bank of Information on Family and Household functioning, gathering wide resources of materials handled in three informatic systems: of past, present
and future family.
Upon reviewing the main trends of studies, the author attempted at estimating
the present stage of studies on family in Poland. In the development of empi -
rical studies our country has advanced to the head of European states, but the
methodological studies, in spite of certain achievements, reveal still considerable
retardation in relation to the general level of science in that field. There are
substantial disproportions observed between particular scientific disciplines in the
scope of improving their research devices and in the effect they are not equally
participating in studies on family. Multldisciplinarity of research on family introduces
several serious implications which are calling for urgent solutions. In the
present stage of research developement the efforts should be directed into: 1) elaboration
of principles of the most effective cooperation of numerous scientific
disciplines, 2) searching for institutional solutions airned at securing the uniform
material and methodological coordination of the whole studies, 3) devicing principles
of the inderdisciplinary scientific synthesis for the research results, which
would answer the modern stage of sciences development and the social needs.
