Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of parental authorities as understood by young men who become fathers themselves and define themselves as committed parents. The inspiration to undertake this subject emerged from the theme of the reserved, cool, strict or even totally absent father, which appears in the biographical discourse of respondents. ; Key research questions were as follows: Do modern fathers have a strong model of fatherhood? And if not, does this disadvantage result in the loss of the role and the necessity of its individual clarification? The analytical axis of the text is a twofold understanding of fatherhood, based on notions of "parenthood and parenting", defining "old" and "new" dimensions of fatherhood. ; The "old" pattern is discussed as an important reference point for young fathers. The article presents the impact of the old pattern upon the present one, which is perceived as modern and caring. The data comes from individual interviews with fathers of young children, representing different social classes and coming from cities of different sizes. The research was based on the biographical method.
