Abstract

Brojna istraživanja potvrđuju važnost i doprinos kvalitete veze u svakodnevnom funkcioniranju pojedinca, dok se sve više istraživanja orijentira na utjecaj samootkrivanja i responzivnosti partnera na zadovoljstvo intimnim odnosom. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati odnose između varijabla samootkrivanja, percipirane responzivnosti partnera, dimenzija privrženosti i procjene kvalitete veze, kao i ispitati rodne razlike u ovim varijablama. Provedeno je online upitničko istraživanje na uzorku od 103 muškaraca i 206 žena u dobi od 18 do 35 godina, koji su u romantičnom odnosu. Sudionici su ispunjavali Revidiranu skalu samootkrivanja (Wheeless i Grotz, 1976), Modificirani Inventar iskustava u bliskim vezama (Kamenov i Jelić, 2003), Skalu percipirane responzivnosti partnera (Reis i Carmichael, 2006) te Indeks kvalitete braka (Norton, 1983). Rezultati ukazuju na to da su žene sklonije samootkrivanju od muškaraca, dok kod drugih varijabli nije zabilježena rodna razlika. Zabilježena je pozitivna povezanost mjera samootkrivanja, kvalitete veze i percipirane responzivnosti partnera kao i pozitivna povezanost među dimenzijama privrženosti. Obje dimenzije privrženosti (izbjegavajuća i anksiozna) bile su negativno povezane s varijablama samootkrivanja, percipirane responzivnosti partnera i kvalitete veze. Hijerarhijska regresijska analiza pokazuje kako varijable samootkrivanja, percipirane responzivnosti partnera i dimenzije privrženosti značajno doprinose objašnjenju 60% varijance kvalitete veze, pri čemu percipirana responzivnost partnera samostalno objašnjava čak 29% varijance kvalitete veze.

Abstract (english)

Numerous studies confirm the importance and contribution of intimate relationship satisfaction in the daily functioning of an individual, while more and more studies focus on the influence of self-disclosure and responsiveness of the partner on intimate relationship satisfaction. The aim of this paper was to examine the relationships between the variables of self-disclosure, perceived responsiveness of the partner, dimensions of attachment, and perceived relationship quality, as well as gender differences in examined variables. An online questionnaire survey was conducted with a sample of 103 men and 206 women aged 18 to 35 that were in a romantic relationship. Participants completed the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale (Wheeless and Grotz, 1976), Modified Inventory of Experiences in Close Relationships (Kamenov and Jelić, 2003), Perceived Partner Responsiveness Scale (Reis and Carmichael, 2006), and Quality of Marriage Index (Norton, 1983). The results indicate that women are more inclined to self-disclosure than men, while no difference was noted in other variables. There was a positive correlation between measures of self-disclosure, relationship quality, and perceived partner responsiveness, as well as a positive correlation between attachment dimensions. A negative association of attachment dimensions (avoidant and anxious) with the variables of self-disclosure, perceived partner responsiveness, and relationship quality was also recorded. Hierarchical regression analysis shows that the variables of self-disclosure, perceived partner responsiveness, and the attachment dimensions significantly contribute to explaining 60% of the variance of intimate relationship satisfaction, with the perceived partner responsiveness independently explaining as much as 29% of the variance of intimate relationship satisfaction.
