Socialno primerjanje partnerskega odnosa, zadovoljstvo z odnosom in uporaba družbenih omrežij : magistrsko delo

Peterman, Tina (avtor), Simonič, Barbara (mentor)

Družbena omrežja so danes vse pogosteje uporabljeno orodje za preživljanje prostega časa in so zato skoraj nepogrešljiv del vsakdanjika večine ljudi. Kot taka predstavljajo idealen prostor za socialne primerjave in lahko močno posegajo v uporabnikovo dojemanje življenja in lastnih medosebnih odnosov – tudi partnerskega odnosa. Romantični odnos za večino posameznikov predstavlja eno izmed najpomembnejših vezi, ki jo lahko v življenju vzpostavijo z drugo osebo, zato smo v našem magistrskem delu želeli podrobneje preučiti, ali je zadovoljstvo z njim lahko tudi z uporabo sodobnih družbenih omrežij in socialnim primerjanjem z drugimi odnosi. Natančneje, raziskovali smo povezanost med socialnim primerjanjem partnerskega odnosa, zadovoljstvom z odnosom in časom, preživetim na družbenih omrežjih. Zanimalo pa nas je tudi, ali obstajajo razlike v socialni primerjavi in zadovoljstvu z odnosom glede na spol in trajanje odnosa. V teoretičnem delu smo raziskali in opredelili partnerski odnos, proces socialnega primerjanja in družbena omrežja ter njihove učinke na psihološko in relacijsko blagostanje njihovih uporabnikov. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena raziskava, ki smo jo izvedli s pomočjo treh vprašalnikov: Lestvica časa uporabe družbenih omrežij (SONTUS), Lestvica socialne primerjave odnosov (RSCM) in Indeks zadovoljstva v paru (CSI). V raziskavi je sodelovalo 184 udeležencev, 148 žensk in 36 moških, starih med 18 in 69 let. Rezultati so pokazali negativno povezanost med socialno primerjavo partnerskega odnosa in zadovoljstvom s partnerskim odnosom. Odkrili smo tudi povezanost uporabe družbenih omrežij v stresnih obdobjih z zadovoljstvom v odnosu (negativna povezanost) in socialno primerjavo partnerskega odnosa (pozitivna povezanost). Raziskava ni pokazala statistično pomembne povezanosti splošne uporabe družbenih omrežij z zadovoljstvom v odnosu in socialno primerjavo odnosa, prav tako tudi ne pomembnih razlik glede na spol in trajanje odnosa v socialni primerjavi odnosa in zadovoljstvu. Magistrsko delo osvetljuje in pomembno prispeva k razumevanju povezav med uporabo družbenih omrežij, partnerskim primerjanjem in zadovoljstvom s partnerskim odnosom, odpira pa tudi možnost za nadaljnje raziskovanje na tem področju.

Social media have increasingly become a common tool for spending leisure time and are therefore an almost indispensable part of the daily lives of most people. As such, they provide an ideal environment for social comparison and can significantly influence users’ perceptions of their lives and interpersonal relationships, including their romantic relationships. For most individuals, a romantic relationship represents one of the most important bonds they can establish with another person. Therefore, in this master's thesis, we aimed to examine in greater detail whether relationship satisfaction is associated with the use of modern social media and social comparison with other relationships. More specifically, we investigated the relationship between romantic relationship social comparison, relationship satisfaction, and time spent on social media. We were also interested in whether differences in social comparison and relationship satisfaction exist with regard to gender and relationship duration. In the theoretical part, we explored and defined romantic relationships, the process of social comparison, and social media, as well as their effects on the psychological and relational well-being of users. The empirical part presents a study conducted using three questionnaires: the Social Networking Time Use Scale (SONTUS), the Relationship Social Comparison Measure (RSCM), and the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI). The study included 184 participants, 148 women and 36 men, aged between 18 and 69 years. The results revealed a negative association between romantic relationship social comparison and relationship satisfaction. We also found that social media use during stressful periods was negatively associated with relationship satisfaction and positively associated with romantic relationship social comparison. The study did not reveal any statistically significant association between overall social media use and relationship satisfaction or relationship social comparison. Likewise, no significant differences were found in relationship social comparison or relationship satisfaction with respect to gender or relationship duration. This master's thesis sheds light on and makes an important contribution to understanding the relationships among social media use, romantic relationship comparison, and relationship satisfaction. It also opens opportunities for further research in this field.
