Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti odnos ljubomore, privrženosti i korištenja taktika manipulacije u romantičnim vezama te ispitati rodne razlike kod emocionalne, kognitivne i bihevioralne ljubomore, anksiozne i izbjegavajuće privrženosti i korištenju taktika manipulacije. Provedeno je internetsko istraživanje na uzorku od 535 osoba u dobi od 18 do 35 godina koji se nalaze u romantičnom odnosu minimalno šest mjeseci. Korišteni upitnici bili su Modificirani inventar iskustava u bliskim vezama, Modificirana skala taktika manipulacije i Multidimenzionalna skala ljubomore. Pronađeno je da su žene sklonije korištenju direktnih taktika manipulacije, dok muškarci i žene podjednako koriste indirektne taktike prisile i podilaženja. Dobiveno je i da žene iskazuju više razine emocionalne ljubomore, dok muškarci imaju viši rezultat na dimenziji izbjegavajuće privrženosti. Pronađene su pozitivne povezanosti sve tri taktike manipulacije s dimenzijom anksiozne privrženosti, dok su indirektne taktike prisile i podilaženja bile pozitivno povezane s dimenzijom izbjegavajuće privrženosti, a direktne taktike negativno povezane s tom dimenzijom. Zatim, indirektne taktike prisile i podilaženja su bile pozitivno povezane sa sve tri dimenzije ljubomore, a direktne taktike su bile pozitivno povezane s emocionalnom i bihevioralnom ljubomorom. Nadalje, dimenzija anksiozne privrženosti je bila pozitivno povezana sa svim dimenzijama ljubomore, dok je dimenzija izbjegavajuće privrženosti bila pozitivno povezana s kognitivnom i bihevioralnom ljubomorom. Hijerarhijskom regresijskom analizom objašnjeno je ukupno 37.2 % varijance indirektnih taktike prisile, 12.8 % varijance direktnih taktika i 17.8 % varijance indirektnih taktika za podilaženje. Najboljim prediktorom indirektnih taktika prisile i podilaženja pokazala se bihevioralna ljubomora i anksiozna privrženost, dok se najboljim prediktorom direktnih taktika pokazala emocionalna ljubomora.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper was to examine the relationship between jealousy, attachment, and the use of manipulation tactics in romantic relationships and to examine gender differences in emotional, cognitive, and behavioral jealousy, anxious and avoidant attachment, and the use of manipulation tactics. The online study was conducted on a sample of 535 people aged 18 to 35 who have been in a romantic relationship for at least six months. The questionnaires used were Modified Inventory of Experiences in Close Relationships, Modified Manipulation Tactics Scale and Multidimensional Jealousy Scale. It was found that women are more inclined to use direct tactics of manipulation, while men and women equally use indirect tactics of coercion and indirect humoring tactics. It was also found that women show higher levels of emotional jealousy, while men have a higher score on the dimension of avoidance. Positive correlations of all three manipulation tactics with the dimension of anxious attachment were found, while indirect tactics of coercion and humoring were positively correlated with the dimension of avoidant attachment, and direct tactics were negatively correlated with this dimension. Then, indirect tactics of coercion and humoring were positively correlated to all three dimensions of jealousy, and direct tactics were positively correlated to emotional and behavioral jealousy. Furthermore, the dimension of anxious attachment was positively correlated to all dimensions of jealousy, while the dimension of avoidant attachment was positively correlated to cognitive and behavioral jealousy. Hierarchical regression analysis explained a total of 37.2 % of the variance of indirect coercion tactics, 12.8 % of the variance of direct tactics, and 17.8 % of the variance of indirect humoring tactics. The best predictor of indirect tactics of coercion and humoring was behavioral jealousy and anxious attachment, while the best predictor of direct tactics was emotional jealousy.
