Dojemanje osebnega smisla pri mladih odraslih : magistrsko delo

Rodič, Polona (avtor), Cvetek, Mateja (mentor)

Z magistrskim delom je avtorica želela ugotoviti, kako mladi odrasli dojemajo osebni smisel, ter identificirati glavne vidike, ki jih povezujejo z njim. V raziskavi je sodelovalo devet udeležencev, starih med 25 in 35 let. Avtorica je analizo polstrukturiranih intervjujev opravila s pomočjo metode utemeljene teorije ter dobljene rezultate razvrstila v sedem glavnih kategorij: koncept osebnega smisla, kaj vse je lahko osebni smisel, na poti do osebnega smisla, spraševanje o osebnem smislu, uresničevanje osebnega smisla, pozitivni učinki ob prisotnosti osebnega smisla ter negativni učinki ob odsotnosti osebnega smisla. V sklepnem delu naloge je avtorica preverila razmerja znotraj glavnih kategorij ter jih povezala z ugotovitvami drugih avtorjev. Osebni smisel je širok pojem ter predstavlja globalni konstrukt, ki združuje abstraktne značilnosti. Je hierarhično organiziran in po eni strani razumljen kot splošni oziroma krovni pojem, po drugi strani pa kot specifičen. Lahko je dinamičen ali stalen ter se povezuje z razumsko, čustveno in intuitivno ravnjo in pojmi, kot so poslanstvo, poklicanost, duhovnost in osebna identiteta. Obstajajo različne dinamike, načini in razlogi za iskanje osebnega smisla. Na iskanje vplivajo tako zunanji kot notranji dejavniki, ki lahko posameznika bodisi podpirajo bodisi ovirajo. Prisotnost osebnega smisla se povezuje s pozitivnimi občutji, pozitivnimi kvalitetami, pozitivnim odnosom do drugih in življenja, notranjo motivacijo ter usmeritvijo; odsotnost pa z negativnimi občutji, negativnim odnosom do sebe, drugih in življenja ter odsotnostjo notranje motivacije in usmeritve. Naloga nudi vpogled v dojemanje osebnega smisla pri mladih odraslih ter izpostavlja temeljne vidike, ki jih povezujejo z njim. Rezultati prinašajo doprinos k delu z mladimi odraslimi, za katere je področje osebnega smisla pomembno zaradi obdobja osamosvajanja in odkrivanja svoje poti.

Izvleček

In this master’s thesis, the author wanted to discover how young adults understand personal meaning and identify the main aspects they associate with it. The research consisted of nine participants between the ages of 25 and 35. The author analysed the semi-structured interviews using the grounded theory method and classified the results into seven main categories: the concept of personal meaning, what can be considered as personal meaning, pathways to discover personal meaning, asking questions regarding the personal meaning, realizing personal meaning, positive effects of personal meaning when it exists and negative effects in the absence of it. In the final part of the assignment, the author compared the relationships within the main categories and connected them with the findings of other authors. Personal meaning is a broad concept representing a global construct combining abstract characteristics. It is hierarchically organized. On the one hand, it is understood as a general or umbrella concept, and on the other hand, as a specific one. It can be dynamic or constant and relates to the rational, emotional, and intuitive levels and concepts such as mission, vocation, spirituality, and personal identity. When it comes to personal meaning, there are different dynamics, ways, and reasons for finding it. The search is influenced by both external and internal factors, which can either support the individual or present obstacles. The presence of personal meaning is associated with positive feelings, positive qualities, a positive attitude towards others and life, internal motivation, and orientation. In contrast, the absence of personal meaning is associated with negative feelings, a negative attitude towards oneself, others, and life, as well as the absence of internal motivation and orientation. This master’s thesis provides insight into the understanding of personal meaning among young adults and highlights the fundamental aspects they associate with it. The study results are beneficial in working with young adults, for whom personal meaning is essential in the period of independence and discovering one’s path.
