Fatherhood, crisis, or new dimension?
Abstract
Between 2008 and 2009 research was conducted on childrens' and youths' sense of
security at home and at school. The research covered 18 000 schoolchildren from Łódź.
The main goal was to determine main family, school and environmental factors which
have influence on violence behaviors increase. Additionally the results revealed dramatic
situation of family in Łódź and particularly degreasing meaning of father and fatherhood.
The analysis of fatherhood problems was applied to more general theoretical context -
crisis of masculinity. Next part of paper is dedicated to fatherhood crisis understood not
only as fathers' absence or devaluation of general fathers' position in family but also as
underestimation of fathers' presence. Fathers' image becomes unclear, blurred, and his
responsibility becomes limited. Also results of this process, that are mentioned in literature,
were pointed out. In the empirical part consequences of fathers' absence (both physical
and mental) were discussed based on quantity and focus research. Those results allowed
to form significant conclusions on "maternalisation" of Łódź family and on childrens'
behavior (children raised by fathers tend to transgress certain social normatives).
