One of the five primary objectives of the European Union within the framework of Europe 2020 is to increase the proportion of the tertiary educated population. The research task titled “The motivation of the student in the 21st century” is intended to address the factors that have both an impact on the decision of students to pursue higher studies and affect the choice of a specific field of study and a preferred form of study. The stimulus to the exploration was sparked by the mentioned EU initiative, interesting statistical data, the growing number of students studying in the external form compared to the daily option, and an increase of students from abroad. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the causes of these trends. Motivation of students is not researched in a systematic way in Slovakia, even though it is an important factor in a student’s decisionmaking process to study. Information was obtained by a questionnaire distributed to 105 students, evaluated using SPSS software and application of descriptive statistics.

There is a vast amount of literature on similarities and differences of women and men experiencing (close) relationships and using different strategies for coping with daily stress and significant life events. Western folk psychology expects women to be generally more anxious and men to be more avoidant when solving close-relationship conflicts and experiences in long term relationships. We used the Experiences in Close Relationships - Revised (ECR-R) questionnaire that is based on the Attachment-style theory distinguishing four distinct attachment styles - secure, anxious/ambivalent, disoriented/disorganized and avoidant.

Experiences in Close Relationship-Revisited (ECR-R) are the most frequently used measure of self-reported adult attachment. Numerous studies have shown its general utility and similarity across language translations and cultures; some studies showed important differences in attachment style structure and also the need to reword/adapt some items. We explored the psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R on a general adult sample (Study 1, n = 921). In Study 2 (n = 100) participants also filled out the Slovak version of NEO-FFI for further information on its relation to the major personality structure theory for concurrent and sEMBU for convergent validity. The results showed good psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R. Factor analysis sorted items to scales exactly as authors of ECR-R presupposed. We found mild to moderate correlation between Anxiety and Neuroticism and Avoidance and Neuroticism; and mild correlation to some sEMBU scales. We also discuss what would help to improve knowledge and utility of the Slovak version of ECR-R.
