Abstract

Humor je neizostavan dio ljudske interakcije i kao takav višestruko je isprepleten s raznim aspektima interpersonalnih odnosa. Iako odnos s primarnom obitelji ostaje jedan od najznačajnijih odnosa tijekom naših života, tema humora u primarnoj obitelji još je uvijek zanemarena. Istraživanjem humora u obitelji možemo dobiti uvid u obiteljsko funkcioniranje i kvalitetu obiteljskih odnosa, pa je tako cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati povezanost između procjene korištenja humora u obitelji, nekih obiteljskih karakteristika i zadovoljstva obiteljskim životom kod studenata koji žive s primarnom obitelji. Pretpostavili smo pozitivan smjer povezanosti pozitivnog humora te negativan smjer povezanosti negativnog i instrumentalnog humora s obiteljskom kohezijom, komunikacijom i zadovoljstvom obitelji. Također, pretpostavljen je značajan doprinos varijabli obiteljskog humora u objašnjenju zadovoljstva obiteljskim životom. Istraživanje je provedeno preko interneta, a konačni uzorak sastojao se od 216 studenata (74.5% žena). Rezultati su pokazali da su pozitivni i instrumentalni humor u obitelji povezani s višom razinom kohezije, kvalitetnijom komunikacijom i većim zadovoljstvom obitelji, dok je negativni obiteljski humor povezan s nižom razinom kohezije, lošijom komunikacijom i nižim zadovoljstvom obitelji. Varijable obiteljskog humora imale su značajan doprinos u objašnjenju zadovoljstva obiteljskim životom. Komentiran je neočekivan smjer povezanosti instrumentalnog humora s obiteljskim karakteristikama te su izložena metodološka ograničenja i prijedlozi za buduća istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

Humor is the fundamental part of human interaction and as such it is largely intertwined with various aspects of interpersonal relationships. Even though the relationship with our primary family remains one of the most significant relationships throughout our life, the topic of humor in the primary family is still neglected. By researching family humor we can gain insight into the family functioning and the quality of family relationships, hence the goal of this research was to examine the relationship between perceived family humor use, family functioning characteristics and family satisfaction in students who are still living with their primary family. We hypothesized a positive relationship for positive humor, and a negative relationship for negative and instrumental humor with family cohesion, communication and family satisfaction. Additionally, we hypothesized a significant contribution of family humor variables in explaining family satisfaction. Online research was conducted with the final sample consisting of 216 students (74.5% women). Results show that positive and instrumental humor in the family are associated with higher family cohesion, better communication and higher family satisfaction, while negative family humor is associated with lower cohesion, communication and family satisfaction. Family humor variables contributed significantly in explaining family satisfaction. Limitations, future directions and the unexpected direction of the relationship between instrumental humor and family characteristics are discussed.
