Sažetak
Do people want children to achieve socially desirable norms and felt satisfaction in achieving full identity of an adult? Why they don’t want children? These questions are relevant not only for individuals but also for the stability and future of the entire society. The process of forming the motivation for parenthood begins very early. It is long and complex process, but not completely understood. Different authors talk about the different mechanisms and different initiators of the motivation, but still isn’t exist a unique theoretical explanation. This paper considered a classic form of parenting which means both parents – mother and father. A sample of this study consisted from 170 subjects the students of the University of Zadar. The aim was to examine the motivation for parenthood and to check the relationship of motivation for parenthood with satisfaction with family life, love relationship and generativity. The results showed that the entire sample expressed the most altruistic motivation for parenthood. Also, it appeared that the altruistic motivation for parenthood is more common for female students compared to male students who have significantly higher scores on the subscale of self confirmation in relation to the female students. Furthermore, the altruistic motivation for parenthood is most associated with generativity.
