Love on the school corridor – teachers’ and students’ view on characteristics of romantic relationships of adolescents

The aim of the present study was to examine how students and teachers perceive romantic relationships of adolescents. On the basis of Osgood’s semantic differential scale, the 11-dimensions questionnaire was developed. The sample comprised 135 people – 74 students and 61 teachers. The results indicated that both students and teachers evaluated the romantic relationships of young people rather positively and their perception was similar. However, in case of four out of eleven dimensions, statistically significant differences were noted. The most divergent assessments was observed regarding the durability of adolescent relationships.
