Povezanost med narcisizmom, samospoštovanjem ter doživljanjem bližnjih medosebnih odnosov : magistrsko delo

Gotar, Tadeja (author), Pate, Tanja (mentor)

Številne raziskave se osredotočajo na iskanje povezav med posameznimi vidiki narcisizma, samospoštovanja in doživljanja bližnjih medosebnih odnosov. To področje raziskovanja je kompleksno in vsebuje še mnogo neznank. Ker v tuji in domači literaturi nismo zasledili podobnih raziskav, smo se v naši osredotočili na ugotavljanje povezanosti med narcisizmom, samospoštovanjem ter doživljanjem bližnjih medosebnih odnosov. Zanimalo nas je, ali je narcisizem povezan z izobrazbo ter ali se starostne skupine med seboj razlikujejo v izraženosti narcisizma. Preverjali smo tudi razlike v narcisizmu, samospoštovanju ter doživljanju bližnjih medosebnih odnosov glede na spol in zakonski stan. Naš vzorec je zajemal 261 udeležencev, od tega 167 ženskega in 94 moškega spola. Povprečna starost udeleženca znaša nekaj manj kot 35 let, sicer pa smo v naš vzorec zajeli vse starostne skupine. Njihova starost se je gibala od 17 do 75 let, povprečna starost pa je bila nekaj manj kot 35 let. Narcisizem smo ocenjevali s pomočjo Vprašalnika narcisizma NPI-40 (Raskin in Terry 1988), samospoštovanje s pomočjo Rosenbergove lestvice samospoštovanja RSES (Rosenberg 1965), doživljanje bližnjih medosebnih odnosov pa smo merili s pomočjo Lestvice doživljanja bližnjih medosebnih odnosov ECR-S (Wei, Russel, Mallinckrodt in Vogel 2007). Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je narcisizem statistično pomembno povezan s samospoštovanjem. Prav tako je samospoštovanje statistično pomembno povezano z doživljanjem bližnjih medosebnih odnosov, med narcisizmom ter doživljanjem bližnjih medosebnih odnosov pa nismo ugotovili nobenih povezav. Narcisizem je nadalje povezan s stopnjo dosežene izobrazbe, mlajše starostne skupine pa se med seboj statistično pomembno razlikujejo od starejših skupin, in sicer slednje dosegajo nižje rezultate. Prav tako moški dosegajo statistično pomembno višji rezultat na vprašalniku narcisizma, v primerjavi z ženskami. Glede na zakonski stan se v izraženosti narcisizma skupine med seboj statistično pomembno ne razlikujejo, kljub temu da samske osebe na našem vzorcu dosegajo najvišji rezultat. Skupine, razdeljene glede na spol ter zakonski stan se v višini samospoštovanja prav tako ne razlikujejo. Nadalje smo ugotovili, da se moški in ženske statistično pomembno razlikujejo pri doživljanju bližnjih medosebnih odnosov, in sicer moški v bližnjih odnosih doživljajo več negotovosti kot ženske, predvsem doživljajo več izogibanja. Prikazali smo tudi, da samski in razvezani v primerjavi s poročenimi osebami doživljajo statistično pomembno več negotovosti, pri čemer samski doživljajo več tesnobe v odnosih, tako samski kot razvezani pa doživljajo tudi več izogibanja v bližnjih medosebnih odnosih.

• Title: Correlation between narcissism, self-esteem and experiences in close relationships

Abstract

Many studies focus on the connections between different aspects of narcissism, self-esteem and experiences in close relationships. This area of research is complex and a lot is stil unknown. Because we could not find any similar foreign or domestic studies, we therefore focused our research on finding connections between narcissism, self-esteem and experiences in close relationships. We were also interested in the connection between narcissism and the level of achieved education and the difference in narcissism between different age groups. We checked for differences in narcissism, self-esteem and experiences in close relationships between males and females, and between groups, divided according to marital status. Our sample included 261 participants, of which 167 were female and 94 are male participants. Their age ranged from 17 to 75, with the average age of a little less than 35 years. We measured narcissism with Narcissistic Personality Inventory NPI-40 (Raskin and Terry 1988). Self-esteem was assessed with Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale RSES (Rosenberg 1965). Experiences in close relationships were measured with Experiences in Close Relationships Scale ECR-S (Wei, Russel, Mallinckrodt and Vogel 2007). Our research results showed a statistically significant correlation between narcissism and self-esteem, and also between self-esteem and experiences in close relationships. We did not find a statistically significant correlation between narcissism and experiences in close relationships. Narcissism is also significantly correlated to the level of achieved education. Younger aged groups are significantly more narcissistic than older age groups. Men are significantly more narcissistic than women. We discovered no differences in narcissism when we divided the participants based on their marital status, nevertheless single participants in our study achieved higher narcissism scores than divorced participants and participants in a relationship. We found no significant differences in self-esteem between groups divided by gender and marital status. Further, men and women are significantly different in the experiences in close relationships, with men experiencing more insecurity in close relationships than women. Men also experience more avoidance in close relationships than women. We also showed that single and divorced people, in comparison with married and unmarried people in a romantic relationship, experience more insecurity in close relationships, with single people experiencing more attachment anxiety, and single and divorced people experiencing more avoidance than married people.
