Značilnosti zgodnjega odnosa z materjo v povezavi z doživljanjem stresa v odraslosti : magistrsko delo

Šerjak, Regina (avtor), Prosen, Simona (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava povezanost zaznanih značilnosti zgodnjega odnosa z materjo, zlasti materinega sprejemanja oziroma zavračanja, z doživljanjem stresa v odraslosti. Teoretični del predstavlja ključne koncepte s področja navezanosti in teorije starševskega sprejemanja in zavračanja (PART), opredeljuje stres in dejavnike, ki vplivajo na posameznikovo dovzetnost zanj, ter osvetljuje vlogo socialno-ekonomskega statusa (SES) ter spola kot kontekstualnih dejavnikov otrokovega razvoja. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena kvantitativna raziskava, v katero je bilo vključenih 319 udeležencev, starih od 21 do 35 let. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo vprašalnika o zaznanem odnosu z materjo (Adult Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire – PARQ) in vprašalnika zaznanega stresa (The Perceived Stress Scale – PSS). Rezultati so pokazali, da je večja zaznana toplina in naklonjenost s strani matere v otroštvu statistično pomembno povezana z nižjo ravnjo doživljanja stresa v odraslosti, medtem ko so sovražnost in agresivno vedenje, brezbrižnost in zanemarjanje ter nediferencirana zavrnitev statistično pomembno povezane z višjo ravnjo doživljanja stresa v odraslosti. Statistično pomembnih razlik med spoloma v zaznavanju zgodnjega odnosa z materjo in doživljanju stresa v odraslosti ni bilo. Glede SES so se statistično pomembne razlike pokazale le pri nekaterih dimenzijah zaznavanja zgodnjega odnosa z materjo. Udeleženci z nizkim SES v otroštvu so v primerjavi s tistimi z višjim SES zaznavali manj topline in naklonjenosti ter več brezbrižnosti in zanemarjanja s strani matere. Razlike v doživljanju stresa glede na SES primarne družine in trenutni SES se niso izkazale kot statistično pomembne. Ugotovitve poudarjajo dolgoročne povezave kakovostnih zgodnjih izkušenj z materjo s posameznikovim doživljanjem stresa v odraslosti. Opozarjajo tudi na potrebo po razvoju preventivnih in podpornih programov za ranljive družine, zlasti tiste v socialno-ekonomsko prikrajšanih okoljih. Izsledki so pomembni za socialnopedagoško prakso na različnih področjih dela z otroki, mladimi in odraslimi.

Izvleček

The master’s thesis examines the relationship between perceived characteristics of the early mother-child relationship, particularly maternal acceptance and rejection, and the experience of stress in adulthood. The theoretical part presents key concepts from attachment theory and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory (PART), defines stress and the factors influencing an individual’s susceptibility to it, and highlights the role of socioeconomic status (SES) and gender as contextual factors in child development. The empirical part presents a quantitative study involving 319 participants aged between 21 and 35 years. Data were collected using the Adult Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The results showed that greater perceived maternal warmth and affection in childhood is statistically significantly associated with lower levels of perceived stress in adulthood, whereas hostility and aggressive behavior, indifference and neglect, and undifferentiated rejection are statistically significantly associated with higher levels of perceived stress in adulthood. No statistically significant gender differences were found in the perception of the early relationship with the mother or in the experience of stress in adulthood. Regarding SES, statistically significant differences were found only in certain dimensions of the perceived early maternal relationship. Participants with low childhood SES perceived less warmth and affection and more indifference and neglect from their mother compared to those with higher SES. Differences in the experience of stress based on the family's SES and current SES were not statistically significant. The findings highlight long-term associations between the quality of early maternal experiences and individuals' perceived stress in adulthood. Furthermore, they underscore the need for preventive and supportive programs targeting vulnerable families, particularly those in socioeconomically disadvantaged environments. The results hold important implications for socio-educational practice across various domains of work with children, youth, and adults.
