ABSTRACT
Aim. The educational functionality of the family of origin is a factor that explains many phenomena. The literature emphasises the links between upbringing in a family that can be described as functionally educational or, conversely, dysfunctional, and the manifestation of various behaviours, attitudes, internalised values and even declared views in adult life. The aim of the study was to examine whether the educational functionality of the family is also related to young adults’ views on selected social issues, their sense of agency, and their tendency to cross boundaries. Methods and materials. The study was conducted in the spring of 2025 on a sample of 165 young adults. Factor analysis was used to identify three groups of factors: progressiveness in social views, competence, understood as the ability to cope with life, and transgression, i.e., the tendency to cross boundaries. These factors were then correlated with the educational functionality of the family. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used in the analyses. Results and conclusion. The analyses confirmed the thesis present in the literature about the existence of a relationship between the educational functionality of the family of origin and the sense of competence, understood as the ability to cope with life. In addition, an inverse relationship between educational functionality and progressiveness was observed, so it should be recognised that higher educational functionality of the family is a factor that inhibits the expression of progressive views. An inverse relationship was also observed between the educational functionality of the family and transgression, understood as the tendency to cross boundaries.
