20.500.12556/RUL-187527 Sodobne partnerske dinamike in (ne)enakost mladih odraslih Partnership Dynamics and (In)Equality Among Young Adults Sodobni partnerski odnosi mladih odraslih se oblikujejo v kontekstu pomembnih družbenih sprememb, ki jih zaznamujejo individualizacija, spreminjanje spolnih norm, prizadevanja za enakost med spoloma ter vse večji vpliv digitalnih medijev in družbenih omrežij. Kljub pogostemu poudarjanju enakopravnosti med partnerjema številne raziskave kažejo, da tradicionalne predstave o moškosti, ženskosti in partnerskih vlogah še vedno pomembno vplivajo na vsakdanje partnerske prakse. Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati, kako mladi odrasli razumejo moškost in ženskost ter kako se ta razumevanja odražajo v partnerskih odnosih, delitvi vlog, materialnem in čustvenem prispevku, skrbstvenem in nevidnem delu, čustveni dimenziji odnosov ter doživljanju vpliva družbenih omrežij. Diplomsko delo temelji na kvalitativni raziskavi. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo polstrukturiranih intervjujev z desetimi mladimi odraslimi iz Slovenije, starimi med 20 in 30 let, ki imajo izkušnjo partnerskega odnosa in skupnega gospodinjstva. Pridobljeni podatki so bili analizirani s tematsko analizo, ki je omogočila poglobljen vpogled v subjektivna doživljanja, pomene in izkušnje sodelujočih. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da mladi odrasli večinoma zagovarjajo egalitarne partnerske odnose in zavračajo strogo tradicionalno delitev vlog. Kljub temu so v njihovih predstavah in praksah še vedno prisotni elementi tradicionalnih spolnih norm. Moškost je bila pogosto povezana z odgovornostjo, zaščito in zanesljivostjo, ženskost pa s skrbjo, empatijo in čustveno podporo. Ugotovitve kažejo, da se delitev odgovornosti v partnerskih odnosih vse pogosteje oblikuje na podlagi dogovarjanja, individualnih sposobnosti in življenjskih okoliščin, vendar nekatere tradicionalne predstave ostajajo prisotne predvsem na področju skrbstvenega in čustvenega dela. Pomembna ugotovitev raziskave je tudi, da sodelujoči čustveni prispevek pogosto doživljajo kot zahtevnejši od materialnega prispevka. Za kakovosten partnerski odnos so izpostavljali pomen komunikacije, empatije, medsebojnega spoštovanja, čustvene pismenosti in pripravljenosti na prilagajanje. Raziskava je pokazala tudi, da imajo družbena omrežja pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju predstav o partnerskih odnosih, moškosti in ženskosti. Sodelujoči so opozarjali predvsem na idealizirane prikaze partnerstev, ki lahko ustvarjajo nerealna pričakovanja in spodbujajo primerjanje z drugimi. Ugotovitve diplomskega dela prispevajo k boljšemu razumevanju sodobnih partnerskih dinamik mladih odraslih ter odpirajo pomembna vprašanja za področje socialnega dela, zlasti na področju podpore partnerskim odnosom, razvoja čustvene pismenosti in kritičnega razumevanja sodobnih spolnih norm. Intimate relationships among young adults are shaped within a context of significant social changes characterized by individualization, changing gender norms, efforts toward gender equality, and the growing influence of digital media and social networking platforms. Despite the frequent emphasis on equality between partners, numerous studies indicate that traditional understandings of masculinity, femininity, and gender roles continue to influence everyday relationship practices. The aim of this thesis was to explore how young adults understand masculinity and femininity and how these understandings are reflected in intimate relationships, the division of roles, material and emotional contributions, care and invisible labour, the emotional dimension of relationships, and perceptions of the influence of social media. The thesis is based on qualitative research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten young adults from Slovenia, aged between 20 and 30, who had experience of being in a romantic relationship and sharing a household with a partner. The collected data were analysed using thematic analysis, which enabled an in-depth understanding of participants’ subjective experiences, meanings, and perspectives. The findings indicate that young adults generally support egalitarian relationships and reject strictly traditional divisions of roles. Nevertheless, elements of traditional gender norms remain present in both their perceptions and everyday practices. Masculinity was frequently associated with responsibility, protection, and reliability, while femininity was linked to care, empathy, and emotional support. The results suggest that the division of responsibilities within relationships is increasingly based on negotiation, individual abilities, and life circumstances; however, traditional expectations remain particularly evident in the areas of care work and emotional labour. An important finding is that participants often perceived emotional contribution as more demanding than material contribution. Communication, empathy, mutual respect, emotional literacy, and willingness to adapt were identified as key elements of a successful relationship. The study also revealed that social media play a significant role in shaping perceptions of relationships, masculinity, and femininity. Participants particularly highlighted the prevalence of idealized portrayals of romantic relationships, which may create unrealistic expectations and encourage social comparison. The findings contribute to a better understanding of contemporary partnership dynamics among young adults and raise important questions for the field of social work, particularly regarding support for intimate relationships, the development of emotional literacy, and the critical understanding of contemporary gender norms. partnerski odnosi mladi odrasli spolne vloge čustveno delo skrbstveno delo moškost ženskost družbena omrežja intimate relationships young adults gender roles emotional labour care work masculinity femininity social media true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2026-09-11 09:01:07 2026-09-11 09:01:09 2026-09-13 03:43:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 58678 20902.pdf 20902.pdf 1 4D73F871FFAC6087C927959F4A8694F6 9b5afc61d52babac0a2d029864082c59724d0fcaf26f5cfd800e435d3795c2cd 8bb8dc87-adae-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=247171 Fakulteta za socialno delo 0 0 0
