Srnko Rauh, Tjaša (author), Simonič, Barbara (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava konstrukt perfekcionizma v povezanosti z zadovoljstvom z življenjem, kot tudi z doživljanjem stresa. Teoretični del vključuje opredelitev perfekcionizma, kakor tudi njegove številne delitve in s tem povezana poimenovanja. Predstavi tudi učinke perfekcionizma na številna področja življenja, kot so izobraževanje, starševstvo, partnerski odnos. V povezavi s tem je je avtorica obravnavala tudi izvor perfekcionizma in njegove posledice. V okviru zadovoljstva z življenjem je podana njegova opredelitev, kakor tudi ocenjevanje in njegov odnos v povezavi s perfekcionizmom. Poglavje o doživljanju stresa vključuje njegovo opredelitev, dejavnike, ki lahko sprožijo stres pri posamezniku in njegove učinke ter posledice, kakor tudi odziv telesa na stresno situacijo in povezanost stresa s perfekcionizmom. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena raziskava, znotraj katere je bilo raziskovano področje doživljanja perfekcionizma v povezanosti z zadovoljstvom z življenjem in doživljanjem stresa, kakor tudi raziskovanje razlik v doživljanju perfekcionizma, zadovoljstvu z življenjem in doživljanjem stresa glede na sociodemografske lastnosti. Za raziskavo je bila uporabljena kvantitativna metoda, pri čemer so bili poleg vprašanj o sociodemografskih podatkih uporabljeni še vprašalniki Lestvica popolnosti, Lestvica zadovoljstva z življenjem in Lestvica doživljanja stresa. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 357 udeležencev, rezultati pa so pokazali negativno povezanost perfekcionizma z zadovoljstvom z življenjem, kakor tudi z doživljanjem stresa. Razlike med spoloma v perfekcionizmu niso bile ugotovljene, so pa bile ugotovljene v doživljanju stresa, ženske namreč stres doživljajo močneje kakor moški. Ugotovljenih tudi ni razlik v doživljanju perfekcionizma glede na vrstni red rojstva in stopnjo izobrazbe. Pokazala pa se je razlika v doživljanju stresa glede na stopnjo izobrazbe, pri čemer posamezniki s srednješolsko (ali nižjo) izobrazbo doživljajo manjšo stopnjo stresa kakor posamezniki z izobrazbo, višjo od srednješolske. Glede zadovoljstva z življenjem je raziskava pokazala, da so starejši posamezniki (55 let ali več) bolj zadovoljni s svojim življenjem kakor mlajši posamezniki, ki štejejo med 16 in 30 let. Prav tako so z življenjem, v primerjavi s samskimi in posamezniki v zunajzakonski zvezi, bolj zadovoljni poročeni posamezniki.

• Title: Perfectionism, life satisfaction and experiencing of stress

Abstract

The present master's thesis deals with the construct of perfectionism in relation to life satisfaction as well as the experience of stress. The theoretical part includes the definition of perfectionism, as well as its many divisions and related denominations. It also presents the effects of perfectionism on many areas of life, such as education, parenting, and partnership. In connection with this, the author also discussed the origin of perfectionism and its consequences. In the context of life satisfaction, its definition is given, as well as evaluation and its relationship in relation to perfectionism. The chapter on experiencing stress includes its definition, the factors that can trigger stress in an individual and its effects and consequences, as well as the body’s response to a stressful situation and the association of stress with perfectionism. The empirical part defines the presented research, within which the field of experience of perfectionism in relation to life satisfaction and stress was researched, as well as research of sociodemographic characteristics within differences in experience of perfectionism, life satisfaction and stress according to sociodemographic characteristics. A quantitative method was used for the research, and in addition to questions on sociodemographic data, questionnaires the Almost Perfect Scale, Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale were used. 357 participants participated in the research, and the results showed a negative association of perfectionism with life satisfaction as well as with experiencing stress. Gender differences in perfectionism were not found, but they were found in the experience of stress, namely women experience stress more strongly than men. There are also no differences in the experience of perfectionism according to the order of birth and level of education. However, there was a difference between the level of education and the experience of stress according to the level of education, with individuals with secondary (or lower) education experiencing a lower level of stress than individuals with higher education. Regarding life satisfaction, research has shown that older individuals (55 years or older) are more satisfied with their lives than younger individuals who count between 16 and 30 years. Married individuals are also more satisfied with life compared to singles and individuals in extramarital affairs.
