Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je doprinijeti trenutnim spoznajama o odnosu idolizacije slavnih osoba, usamljenosti i zadovoljstva životom na uzorku hrvatskih fanova K-Pop glazbe. Ispitani su bivarijatni odnosi idolizacije s usamljenošću i zadovoljstvom životom te moderacijska uloga idolizacije na negativan odnos između usamljenosti i zadovoljstva. Dodatan cilj bio je ispitati moderacijski utjecaj dimenzija idolizacije. Provedeno je on-line upitničko istraživanje na prigodnom uzorku od 436 K-Pop fanova u dobi između 18 i 64. Primijenjene su kratka verzija UCLA ljestvice usamljenosti, Dienerova ljestvica zadovoljstva životom te Ljestvica stavova o slavnoj osobi (engl. Celebrity Attitude Scale), koja je za potrebe ovog istraživanja prevedena. Rezultati pokazuju statistički značajnu korelaciju idolizacije slavnih s usamljenošću, ali ne i zadovoljstvom životom. Idolizacija ne moderira značajno odnos usamljenosti i zadovoljstva životom, kao ni dimenzije intenzivno-osobno i granično-patološko. Dimenzija zabava-društveno pokazala se značajnim moderatorom odnosa usamljenosti i zadovoljstva na svim razinama moderatora. Rezultati pokazuju da intenzitet povezanosti usamljenosti i zadovoljstva životom varira ovisno o razini zabave i ugode koju hrvatski K-Pop fanovi dobivaju iz parasocijalnih interakcija s idolima.

Abstract (english)

This study aimed to contribute to current knowledge about the relationship between celebrity worship, loneliness and life satisfaction in a sample of Croatian K-Pop fans. The bivariate relationships of celebrity worship with loneliness and life satisfaction were examined, as well as the moderating role of celebrity worship on the negative relationship between loneliness and satisfaction. An additional aim was to examine the moderating role of celebrity worship dimensions. An online survey was conducted on a convenient sample of 436 K-Pop fans aged 18 to 64. A short version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Diener Life Satisfaction Scale and the Celebrity Attitude Scale were applied. For the purpose of this research the CAS was translated. The results show a significant correlation between celebrity worship and loneliness, but not life satisfaction. Celebrity worship does not significantly moderate the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction, neither do the intense-personal and borderline-pathological dimensions. The entertainment-social dimension proved to be a significant moderator of the relationship between loneliness and satisfaction. The intensity of the association between loneliness and life satisfaction varies depending on the amount of enjoyment K-Pop fans derive from parasocial interactions with idols.
