Abstract

Doživljaj stresa sveprisutan je u životu suvremenog čovjeka te obuhvaća niz promjena na fiziološkom i psihičkom planu koje mogu imati različite posljedice po zdravlje i opću dobrobit. Na doživljaj stresa utječe niz situacijskih faktora, ali temeljni izvor varijacija u intenzitetu ovog osjećaja su individualne razlike na planu ličnosti i odabrane strategije suočavanja sa stresom poput različitih stilova humora. Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti kako individualne razlike u dimenzijama ličnosti prema Pet-faktorskoom modelu, rodu i dobi te stilovima humora kao strategijama suočavanja mogu objasniti individualne razlike u doživljavanju stresa. Provedeno je upitničko on-line istraživanje na uzorku od 386 osoba (134 muškog i 252 ženskog roda) u dobi od 18 do 57 godina. Istraživanje je provedeno za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 te su bile aktivne mjere tjelesnog distanciranja. Korišteni su sljedeći upitnici: BFI upitnik ličnosti, Skala stilova humora i skala stresa iz DASS-21 upitnika. Rezultati su pokazali da rod i dob, dimenzije ličnosti i stilovi humora predviđaju statistički značajan udio varijance doživljaja stresa. Pritom se neuroticizam pokazao kao pozitivni, a afilijativni stil humora kao negativni prediktor doživljaja stresa. Drugim riječima, individualne razlike u osobinama ličnosti te stilovima humora utječu na doživljaj stresa na način da će osobe više na neuroticizmu doživljavati više stresa, a osobe s višim rezultatima na afilijativnom humoru manje stresa.

Abstract (english)

Stress experience is all present in the life of modern man as it includes a number of physiological and psychological changes which can, in term, have consequences on health and all around well being. Stress experience is affected by a variety of situational factors, but the main difference in the intensity of these emotions are the individual differences in personality dimensions and the chosen coping strategies such as styles of humor. The goal of this research was to examine how individual differences in the personality dimensions of the Five Factor model, age, gender and styles of humour as coping strategies can explain individual differences in stress experience. We conducted an online questionnaire survey with a sample of 386 people (134 men and 252 women) aged 18 to 57 years. The survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic with the measures of physical distancing beeing active. The following measures were used in our research: the BFI personality questionnaire, Humor Styles Questionnaire and the stress scale from the DASS-21 measure. Results indicate that gender, age, personality dimensions and styles of humor explain a statistically significant proportion of the stress experience variance. Results show that individual differences in personality and stlyes of humour affect the stress experience in a way that persons higher on neuroticism experience more stress, while pople with higher results in affiliative humour experience less stress.
