Abstract

Istraživači se danas slažu kako nostalgiju najčešće doživljavamo prisjećajući se osobno vrijedne uspomene iz vlastite prošlosti. Eksperimentalno je potvrđivan njezin učinak poticanja ugodnog raspoloženja te su razvijene dvije skale za procjenu njezine dispozicijske prirode; Batcho Nostalgia Inventory (Batcho, 1998) i Southampton Nostalgia Scale (Barret i sur., 2010). Skale još nisu korištene u istraživanjima na hrvatskom uzorku, stoga je cilj istraživanja bio utvrditi metrijske karakteristike, posebice valjanost hrvatskih verzija skala. Drugim riječima, cilj ovog rada bio je prosudba o valjanosti na temelju podataka o faktorskoj strukturi i konvergentnih podataka iz povezanosti dviju skala nostalgije, zatim divergentnih podataka iz povezanosti s drugim varijablama (vremenske perspektive prošlosti, optimizam i pesimizam) te kriterijskih podataka iz povezanosti s odrednicom stava (preferencijom gledanja starijih filmova). S tom svrhom provedena je on-line baterija upitnika koju je ispunilo 278 sudionika dobi od 18 do 30 godina. Rezultati sugeriraju kako se faktorske strukture testova poklapaju sa strukturama u izvornim istraživanjima, a skale dijele zadovoljavajući postotak varijance. Nadalje, pokazalo se da se izraženost dispozicijske nostalgije može predvidjeti vremenskim perspektivama prošlosti, kao i pesimizmom. Konačno, utvrđeno je kako razinu preferencije gledanja starijih filmova nije moguće predvidjeti dispozicijskom nostalgijom, čak ni uz kontrolu varijable dobi sudionika.

Abstract (english)

Today, researchers agree that nostalgia is most commonly evoked while remembering one's valued personal memory. Experimental research has confirmed the effect of nostalgia on induction of positive mood and scales for estimating its dispositional nature were developed; Batcho Nostalgia Inventory and Southampton Nostalgia Scale. As of this moment, the scales have not yet been used in research with Croatian participants. Therefore, the aim of the research is to collect data for the purpose of concluding the validity of the above-mentioned scales in the Croatian language. The specific goal is to retrieve data about the factor structure and convergent data from the correlation between the two scales. Furthermore, divergent data from the correlation with other similar variables (time perspectives of the past, optimism and pessimism) and the criterion data from the correlation with the movie preferences is to be asessed as well. An online survey was made which was completed by 278 participants aged 18 to 30 years. The results suggest that the factor structure of the scales coincided with the structures in original research and that scales share a sufficient proportion of variance. Furthermore, dispositional nostalgia proved to be positively predicted by the time perspectives of the past, as well as by pessimism. Finally, the preference of older films did not prove to be a criterion predicted by dispositional nostalgia, even while controling the age of participants.
