This paper presents the results of a research project which analysed the impact of parental reading behaviour on the gender differences in subteeners′ reading attitude. The applied theoretical approach is based on the tri-component view of reading attitude, and the empirical data collection focuses on reading preferences, habits, and reading attitudes. A sample of 1601 students and their parents filled in a questionnaire on reading preferences and habits, and the students completed a reading attitude scale. The questionnaire has been partly adapted and partly devised by the author. Variance analyses (ANOVA) are used to determine the statistically significant differences. Independent variables of the measurement are materialized dimensions of reading, purpose, and frequency. As assumed, girls are generally more influenced by parental reading habits and exhibit a more favourable reading attitude if either parent has a positive reading behaviour. Boys′ reading attitude is far less influenced by the parents′ behavioural patterns; nevertheless, the father′s impact is significantly stronger than that of the mother. In the light of the results, this paper also gives some brief thought to what can be done; thereby, indicating some directions of further research.
