Abstract:Diplomsko delo obravnava odnos do staranja, starosti in smrti pri predstavnikih večgeneracijskih družin v različnih življenjskih obdobjih, pri čemer za teoretični okvir uporablja Eriksonovo teorijo osmih stopenj psihosocialnega razvoja. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako posamezniki različnih starosti in generacij doživljajo staranje in smrt ter ali je mogoče njihove odgovore smiselno umestiti v Eriksonov razvojni model. Uporabljena je bila kvalitativna metodologija s polstrukturiranimi intervjuji, v katerih je sodelovalo devet oseb iz treh večgeneracijskih družin. Analiza odgovorov je pokazala, da so pogledi na staranje in smrt močno pogojeni z osebnimi izkušnjami, kakovostjo družinskih odnosov, zdravstvenim stanjem in širšim družbenim kontekstom. Mlajši odrasli izražajo več negotovosti in strahu pred smrtjo, srednja generacija poudarja skrb za potomce in odgovornost, starejši pa večjo sprijaznjenost z minljivostjo in refleksijo o življenju. Stereotipi o starejših so prisotni, a jih večina intervjuvancev prepoznava kot posledico življenjskih okoliščin. Rezultati potrjujejo uporabnost Eriksonove teorije za razumevanje življenjskih prehodov in poudarjajo pomen medgeneracijskega dialoga ter podpore v družini za boljši odnos do staranja in smrti.

Abstract:The diploma thesis explores attitudes toward aging, old age, and death among members of multigenerational families across different stages of life, using Erikson’s theory of eight stages of psychosocial development as the theoretical framework. The aim of the research was to determine how individuals of different ages and generations experience aging and death, and whether their responses can be meaningfully interpreted within Erikson’s developmental model. A qualitative methodology was employed, using semi-structured interviews conducted with nine individuals from three multigenerational families. The analysis of the responses revealed that views on aging and death are strongly influenced by personal experiences, the quality of family relationships, health status, and the broader social context. Younger adults expressed more uncertainty and fear of death, the middle generation emphasized care for their children and a sense of responsibility, while older participants demonstrated greater acceptance of mortality and reflection on life. Stereotypes about older people were present but were largely recognized by the interviewees as resulting from life circumstances. The findings confirm the usefulness of Erikson’s theory for understanding life transitions and highlight the importance of intergenerational dialogue and family support in fostering healthier attitudes toward aging and death.
