In the master's thesis, the author presents the life of the only children and twins. She was interested in how the interpersonal relationships of the only children and the twins, whether they differ in their role in the family, in their relationships with their parents and other close relatives, in experiencing their growing up, in experiencing the partnership, and in their perceptions of only children and twins. In the theoretical introduction, she presents some general data on only children and twins, then she makes a review of the life process of the only children and twins (from the first years of life to the age), and ultimately explores the influence of myths and the environment on the formation of an individual's identity. In the empirical part, the author presents the data obtained through an interview with only children and twins. The data was processed using a qualitative method of analyzing the content, through which we obtained four main categories: relationships with parents and other close people, growing up, partnership and parenting, and the formation of personality and the response of the environment. The author's main categories were elaborated in detail with the help of other subcategories, and then linked them to the presented theory.
As the main problem, the author perceives the presence of various myths and prejudices, which have shaped and shaped many of the lives of the only children and twins today. The general stereotypes that should apply to these two groups can affect the individual's life and the formation of one's own identity. In addition, it makes sense to add the fact that each individual is unique and needs to be fully understood, and not only on the basis of his own performances.
