Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost dimenzija ljubomore s dimenzijama privrženosti ljubavnom partneru i sa zadovoljstvom romantičnom vezom te ispitati postoje li rodne razlike u ljubomori i privrženosti ljubavnom partneru. U internetskom istraživanju sudjelovale su mlade odrasle osobe (N= 754) koje su u romantičnoj vezi bez zajedničkog suživota ili braka. Korišteni mjerni instrumenti su Upitnik privrženosti prema ljubavnim partnerima, modificirana Skala procjene veze i Multidimenzionalna skala ljubomore. Pronađene su statistički značajne povezanosti dimenzija ljubomore (kognitivna, emocionalna i ponašajna) s dimenzijama privrženosti ljubavnom partneru (anksiozna i izbjegavajuća). Sudionici s višom dimenzijom anksioznosti izvještavali su o sve tri više dimenzije ljubomore, dok su sudionici s višom dimenzijom izbjegavanja izvještavali o većoj kognitivnoj i bihevioralnoj, no manjoj emocionalnoj ljubomori. Pronađena je i statistički značajna negativna povezanost kognitivne i bihevioralne ljubomore sa zadovoljstvom vezom. Sudionici koji su izvještavali o većoj kognitivnoj i bihevioralnoj ljubomori izvještavali su o nižem zadovoljstvu vezom. Također, žene su postigle statistički značajno više rezultate od muškaraca na dimenziji anksioznosti, emocionalnoj i ukupnoj ljubomori. Muškarci su postigli statistički značajno više rezultate od žena na dimenziji izbjegavanja bliskosti. Nalazi su interpretirani u skladu s teorijom privrženosti i teorijom socijalnih uloga.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine the relations of jealousy dimensions to dimensions of attachment toward romantic partner and to relationship satisfaction, as well as to examine whether there are gender differences in attachment and jealousy. The online study was conducted to young adults (N= 754) in a dating relationship which does not involve cohabitation or marriage. The measuring instruments were: Adult Romantic Attachment Questionnaire, modified Scale of Relationship Satisfaction and Multidimensional Jealousy Scale. All three jealousy dimensions (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) were significantly correlated to attachment dimensions (anxiety and avoidance). Participants who scored higher on attachment anxiety reported greater cognitive, emotional and behavioral jealousy, while participants who scored higher on attachment avoidance reported greater cognitive and behavioral jealousy, but lower emotional jealousy. Cognitive and behavioral jealousy were also significantly negatively associated with relationship satisfaction. That is, participants who reported greater cognitive and behavioral jealousy reported lower relationship satisfaction. Also, women scored significantly higher than men in attachment anxiety, emotional jealousy and overall jealousy, while men scored higher than women in attachment avoidance. The results are interpreted with regard to attachment theory and social role theory.
