The present study examined the hypothesis that there is a relationship between parental socialization and attitudes toward euthanasia. Investigated are the effects of three specific socialization environments: warm/restrictive, warm/permissive, and hostile/restrictive. Additionally, since euthanasia is a multidimensional concept, the extent to which different connotative meanings affect the acceptance and rejection of euthanasia is explored. Three distinct samples of student nurses were used in the study. The factor of active-passive was identified as the critical empirical variable. Similar patterns of acceptance/rejection of passive euthanasia are revealed regardless of style of parental socialization. However, warm and permissive parental socialization was found to be significantly related to attitudes of acceptance of active euthanasia. Nevertheless, it appears that the overall acceptance of euthanasia is most adequately predicted through the interaction of the various dimensions of the euthanasia concept. |
