Naslov diplomskega dela je Stili navezanosti in iskanje psihosocialne podpore in pomoči. V delu želim ugotoviti, ali obstaja povezava med določenim stilom navezanosti in iskanjem psihosocialne podpore in pomoči. V teoriji sem se dotaknila teorije navezanosti, razvoja stilov navezanosti od otroštva do odraslosti. Prav tako sem pisala o potrebah po psihosocialni podpori in pomoči, o strokovnjakih, ki nudijo takšno pomoč, o nekaterih organizacijah, ki delujejo na tem področju, in o povezavi med psihosocialno podporo in pomočjo ter stili navezanosti. Vzorec v kvantitativni raziskavi je bil neslučajnostni priložnostni in je vključeval 145 polnoletnih oseb, ki so v času izvedbe raziskave živele v Sloveniji. Odgovore na raziskovalna vprašanja sem zbrala z uporabo anketnega vprašalnika v spletni aplikaciji Arnes 1ka. Z raziskavo sem ugotovila, da je več tistih, ki potrebujejo psihosocialno podporo in pomoč, kot pa tistih, ki nikoli ne potrebujejo takšne podpore in pomoči. Delež tistih, ki nikoli ne poiščejo psihosocialne podpore in pomoči, ker je nikoli ne potrebujejo, je v največji meri pri anketiranih z varnim stilom navezanosti, nato pri anketiranih z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti, sledijo jim anketirani s plašljivo-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti in nazadnje še anketirani s preokupiranim stilom navezanosti. Delež anketiranih, ki nikoli ne poiščejo psihosocialne podpore in pomoči, čeprav čutijo, da bi jo potrebovali, je največji pri anketirancih s preokupiranim stilom navezanosti, nato jim sledijo anketiranci s plašljivo-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti, nato anketiranci z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti, najmanjši delež pa je pri anketirancih z varnim stilom navezanosti. Delež tistih, ki še nikoli niso prejemali psihosocialne podpore in pomoči, je največji pri anketirancih z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti. Anketiranci z varnim stilom navezanosti, ki ne poiščejo psihosocialne podpore in pomoči, čeprav bi jo potrebovali, so največkrat odgovorili, da je razlog, da nimajo dovolj denarja. Enak razlog je tudi pri anketiranih, ki imajo plašljivo-izogibajoč stil navezanosti. Pri anketiranih s preokupiranim stilom navezanosti izstopa poleg razloga, da nimajo dovolj denarja, tudi razlog, da ne vedo, na koga se obrniti. Pri anketiranih z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti, ki ne poiščejo pomoči, čeprav bi jo potrebovali, je razlog največkrat strah. Anketiranci, ki imajo preokupiran, varen ali plašljivo-izogibajoč stil navezanosti, se največkrat v čustveni stiski, kot je stres, odzovejo s pogovorom s partnerjem. Anketiranci z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom navezanosti pa se pogovorijo s partnerjem, jokajo ali pa se zamotijo z drugimi dejavnostmi, ki jim pomagajo odmisliti problem. Med anketiranci s plašljivo-izogibajočim, varnim ali preokupiranim stilom navezanosti je več tistih, ki potrebujejo verbalno spodbudo bližnjih kot pa druge vrste podpore, da bodo poiskali psihosocialno podporo in pomoč, ko jo potrebujejo.

• Title: Attachment Styles and Seeking Psychosocial Support and Help

Abstract

The title of my paper is Attachment Styles and Seeking Psychosocial Support and Help. As the title suggests, I wanted to find out if there is a connection between people with a certain attachment style and their tendency to seek psychosocial support and help. In the theoretical part, I presented the attachment theory and the development of attachment styles from childhood to adulthood. I also wrote about the need for psychosocial support and help, professionals who provide such support, some organizations working in this field, and the connection between psychosocial support and help on the one side and attachment styles on the other. The sample of my quantitative research was non-random, ad hoc sample, including 145 adults who lived in Slovenia when the research was being conducted. I gathered their answers using a survey in the Arnes 1ka web application. Through research, I found that there are more of those who need psychosocial support and help than those who have never needed such support and help. The share of those who have never sought psychosocial support and help because they do not need it is the highest among respondents with a secure style of attachment, followed by respondents with a dismissive style of attachment, after them respondents with a fearful-avoidant style of attachment and finally respondents with a preoccupied style of attachment. The share of respondents who have never sought psychosocial support and help even though they feel they need it is the highest among respondents with a preoccupied style of attachment, followed by respondents with a fearful-avoidant style of attachment, after them respondents with a dismissive attachment style and finally respondents with a secure attachment style. The share of those who have never received psychosocial support and assistance is the highest among respondents with a dismissive style of attachment. Respondents with a secure attachment style who have not sought psychosocial support and help even though they need it most often stated that the reason for that is their lack of money, which also applies to respondents who have a fearful-avoidant style of attachment. Respondents with a preoccupied style of attachment who have not sought psychosocial support and help even though they need it most often stated that they have done so because they do not have enough money or they do not know who to turn to. The reason that respondents with a dismissive style of attachment have not sought help even though they need it is most often fear. Respondents who have a preoccupied, safe, or fearful-avoidant style of attachment are most likely to respond to emotional distress such as stress by talking to a partner, whereas respondents with a dismissive style of attachment talk to their partner, cry, or find a distraction in other activities, which help them forget about the problem. Respondents with a fearful-avoidant or preoccupied style of attachment are more likely to need verbal encouragement from their loved ones than other types of support to seek psychosocial support and help when they need it.
