A total of 1385 participants (432 high-school students, 529 undergraduate students from various faculties of the University of Zagreb, and 424 adults) were included in the research. Data about family structure and the quality of parental relationship were obtained. The modification of the Experiences in Close Relationship Inventory and Attitudes toward marriage and divorce scales were applied. Significant differences were found on Anxiety in attachment to romantic partners due to low quality of relationship between parents. Specifically, individuals whose parents had low marital quality while they were teenagers appear to be more anxious in their romantic relationships in comparison with individuals from two other types of families. There were also significant differences in attitudes towards marriage and divorce in regard to family type, but these effects were stronger in younger age groups. Overall, the quality of relationship between parents proved to be more important factor for future romantic relationships than family structure, with more immediate effects on attitudes toward marriage and divorce, and long term effects on romantic attachment.
