Stili romantičnih odnosov v povezavi s stilom navezanosti, ljubosumjem, zadovoljstvom z življenjem in odnosi : magistrsko delo

Dragan, Inja (author), Savodnik, Kaja (author), Pate, Tanja (mentor)

Kljub prevladujoči mononormativnosti zahodnih družb, ki monogamijo postavlja kot edino legitimno in samoumevno obliko partnerstva, se v zadnjih desetletjih krepi tudi raziskovalni interes za konsenzualno nemonogamijo (CNM). Pričujoča magistrska naloga se zato osredotoča na raziskovanje povezanosti tipa partnerskega odnosa s stilom navezanosti, zadovoljstvom z odnosom, zadovoljstvom z življenjem ter ljubosumjem, s ciljem podrobneje razumeti, ali in v čem se osebe v monogamnih in različnih oblikah nemonogamnih odnosov med seboj razlikujejo ter kako se preučevani konstrukti med seboj povezujejo. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 145 udeležencev, starih med 18 in 55 let (M = 29,6; SD = 8,8), od katerih je bilo 95 monogamnih, 38 CNM, 6 priložnostno nemonogamnih in 6 monogamnih z neskladnim številom partnerjev. Za merjenje navezanosti so bili uporabljeni vprašalnik ECR-S, za zadovoljstvo z odnosom CSI-16, za zadovoljstvo z življenjem SWLS ter za ljubosumje IJS. Skupine so bile primerjane tako na ravni krovnih kategorij kot tudi na ravni različnih oblik CNM, povezave med konstrukti pa so bile primerjane s korelacijsko analizo. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se skupine niso statistično značilno razlikovale v anksiozni navezanosti in zadovoljstvu z življenjem, medtem ko pa so se statistično značilne razlikovale v izogibajoči navezanosti, zadovoljstvu z odnosom ter ljubosumju. Korelacijska analiza je razkrila nekaj pretežno blagih do zmernih povezav med zadovoljstvom z življenjem, navezanostjo, zadovoljstvom z odnosom in ljubosumjem. Rezultate je zaradi majhnih podskupin, načina vzorčenja, mononormativnosti uporabljenih merskih pripomočkov in neenotnega razumevanja partnerstva treba interpretirati previdno. Naloga predstavlja pomemben doprinos k razmeroma redki in metodološko omejeni domači ter tuji literaturi na tem področju. Ugotovitve lahko podprejo bolj informirano in manj mononormativno strokovno obravnavo oseb v CNM odnosih ter predstavljajo izhodišče za nadaljnje, metodološko izpopolnjene raziskave na tem področju.

• Title: Romantic relationship styles in relation to attachment style, jealousy, life satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction

Abstract

Despite the prevailing mononormativity of Western societies, which positions monogamy as the only legitimate and self-evident form of partnership, the past decades have seen growing research interest in consensual non-monogamy (CNM). This thesis therefore examines the relationship between the type of romantic relationship and attachment, relationship satisfaction, life satisfaction, and jealousy, aiming to gain a more detailed understanding of whether and how individuals in monogamous and various forms of non monogamous relationships differ, and how the examined constructs are related. The study included 145 participants aged 18 to 55 (M = 29,6; SD = 8,8), of whom 95 were monogamous, 38 CNM, 6 casually non-monogamous, and 6 monogamous with an inconsistent number of partners. Attachment was measured using the ECR-S, relationship satisfaction using the CSI-16, life satisfaction using the SWLS, and jealousy using the IJS. Groups were compared at the level of overarching categories and also across the CNM subtypes, while associations between constructs were tested using correlation analysis. No statistically significant group differences were found in anxious attachment or life satisfaction, whereas statistically significant differences emerged in avoidant attachment, relationship satisfaction, and jealousy. Correlation analysis revealed several predominantly mild to moderate associations among life satisfaction, attachment, relationship satisfaction, and jealousy. Given the small subgroup sizes, the sampling method, the mononormativity of the instruments used, and inconsistent understandings of partnership among participants, the results should be interpreted with caution. This thesis represents a meaningful contribution to the relatively scarce and methodologically limited domestic and international literature in this field. The findings may support a more informed and less mononormatively oriented professional approach to individuals in CNM relationships and provide a starting point for further, methodologically refined research.
