Abstract

Pojavom sve veće raširenosti društvenih mreža i dostupnosti osobnih informacija online, sve je teže za intimne partnere izbjeći izloženost informacijama nakon prekida veze. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati koje društvene mreže i motive sudionici navode pri online nadgledanju bivšeg partnera te ispitati doprinos dimenzija privrženosti (anksioznosti i izbjegavanja) i karakteristika prekinute veze (stupanj ulaganja u vezu, predanost vezi, zadovoljstvo vezom tekvaliteta alternativa vezi) pri objašnjenju online nadgledanja bivšeg partnera putem društvenih mreža. Provedeno je upitničko online istraživanje na uzorku od 431 osobe. Facebook i Instagram su prepoznate kao najčešće korištene društvene mreže, a najčešća motivacija je saznavanje informacija o svakodnevnom životu i romantičnom statusu bivšeg partnera. Utvrđen je značajan samostalni doprinos anksiozne privrženosti, zadovoljstva i predanosti vezi te kvalitete alternativa vezi dok izbjegavajuća privrženost i stupanj ulaganja u vezu nisu značajni prediktori. Dimenzijama privrženosti i istraživanih karakteristika prekinute veze objašnjeno je 22.5% varijance online nadgledanja bivšeg partnera.

Abstract (english)

Ever since social networks started to spread and personal information became available online, it is getting harder to avoid information exposure to a former partner after relationship dissolution. The purpose of this paper was to examine which social networks do people use for internet electronic surveillance and what is their motivation behind it, and to examine the contribution of attachment dimensions (anxiety and avoidance) and characteristics of broken relationship (level of investment in the relationship, relationship commitment, relationship satisfaction and quality of relationship alternatives) in explaining online former partner surveillance via social networks. The research was conducted using an online questionnaire on a sample of 431 people. Facebook and Instagram are most used social networks and searching information about ex’s everyday life and romantic status are the most common motivation. Significant independent contribution is found for anxiety attachment, relationship commitment, relationship satisfaction and quality of relationship alternatives while level of investment in the relationship and avoidant attachment are not significant predictors. Attachment and observed relationship characteristics together account for 22.5% of explained variance in online surveillance of former partners.
