Namen magistrskega dela je bilo ugotoviti, kako se potreba po dražljajih povezuje z zadovoljstvom s partnerskim odnosom, nezvestobo, dolžino partnerske zveze in starostjo. Prav tako smo želeli preveriti, ali obstajajo med spoloma razlike v višini potrebe po dražljajih in kakšne so. Pri empiričnem delu smo uporabili Lestvico nezvestobe (IS), Lestvico iskanja dražljajev (SSS-V) in Lestvico zadovoljstva s partnerskim odnosom (KMSS). Celoten vprašalnik je izpolnilo 756 udeležencev, od tega 565 (75 %) žensk in 191 (25 %) moških. Ugotovili smo, da med moškimi in ženskami obstajajo statistično pomembne razlike v višini potrebe po dražljajih, in sicer imajo moški v povprečju višjo potrebo po dražljajih kot ženske. V naši raziskavi se je pokazala statistično pomembna negativna povezava med potrebo po dražljajih in starostjo ter potrebo po dražljajih in dolžino zveze. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali so osebe z višjo potrebo po dražljajih k nezvestobi bolj nagnjene in manj zadovoljne z odnosom, a na podlagi naše analize tega nismo mogli potrditi. Kot omejitev naše raziskave bi lahko navedli nizko število udeležencev, starejših od 56 let, zaradi česar nismo dobili celostne slike o spremembah v višini potrebe po dražljajih z leti, prav tako pa je bilo število moških udeležencev v primerjavi z ženskami bistveno nižje.

• Title: The Relationship between Sensation Seeking, Infidelity and Relationships Satisfaction

Abstract

The purpose of this master's thesis was to find out, how is the sensation seeking associated to relationship satisfaction, infidelity, length of romantic partnership and age. We also wanted to check if there are existing gender differences in level of sensation seeking and what kind are they. In the empirical part, we used the infidelity scale, sensation seeking scale - V and Kansas Marital satisfaction scale. 756 participants have completed the whole questionnaire, of whom 565 (75%) were women and 191 (25%) were men. We found that there are statistically important differences in level of sensation seeking between men and women, with men in average having higher need of sensation seeking than women. In our study there was a statistically important negative correlation showed between the sensation seeking and age and also between sensation seeking and length of romantic partnership. We were also interested in whether people with higher need of sensation seeking are more prone to infidelity and less satisfied with the relationship, but based on our analysis we weren’t able to confirm that. As a limitation of our research, we could indicate a low number of participants over the age of 56, which resulted in incomplete picture of the changes in level of sensation seeking with age, additionally number of male participants was considerably lower compared to female.
