Upravljanje emocij, žalost in spol

Vitez, Nina (author), Šadl, Zdenka (mentor)

Emocije so relevantna družboslovna tema za raziskovanje, saj so sestavina vsakdanjega življenja individuumov, vpete so v medosebne odnose in vplivajo na naše zdravje ter dobro počutje. V magistrski nalogi sem se osredotočila na emocijo žalosti in raziskovala, ali obstajajo spolne razlike pri izkušnji žalosti, načinih upravljanja emocij in posebej žalosti in v iskanju socialne oziroma emocionalne opore pri soočanju z žalostjo. Z analizo sekundarnih virov in uporabo metode intervjuja sem ugotovila, da enako intenzivno občutijo žalost tako moški kot ženske, razlika se kaže v izražanju žalosti, saj ženske bolj izražajo žalost v primerjavi z moškimi. Načini upravljanja emocij oziroma žalosti se med spoloma razlikujejo. Na svoje emocije se bolj osredotočajo ženske, medtem ko jih moški zatirajo oziroma se jim poskušajo izogibati. Pri upravljanju žalosti se ženske bolj usmerjajo k izgubi, moški pa so bolj usmerjeni k okrevanju. Kljub temu da se na strokovno pomoč bolj obračajo ženske, pa pri soočanju z žalostjo tako moški kot ženske potrebujejo emocionalno oziroma socialno oporo, na primer oporo prijateljev. Žalost je sprejeta kot normalna emocija, ki je ni potrebno zdraviti. Normativen čas žalovanja se razlikuje od individuuma do individuuma. V času boleče izgube smo dovzetni tudi za zdravstvene težave, zato je pomembno, da se naučimo upravljati s svojimi emocijami.

Abstract

Emotions are a relevant social science research topic as they are an integral part of everyday lives of individuals; they are interlinked with interpersonal relationships and affect our health and well-being. In my master's thesis I focused on the emotion of grief with the aim of finding out whether there are gender differences in the experience of grief, the ways of managing emotions, especially grief, and in seeking social or emotional support when coping with grief. By analyzing the secondary sources and using the method of interviewing, I came to the conclusion that no gender differences exist in the intensity of the emotion of grief, the expression of grief, however, is different in males and females as women tend to express grief more intensely than men. The ways of managing emotions or grief are different between the genders. Women are more focused on their emotions while men try to suppress or avoid them. In managing grief, women are more loss-oriented whereas men are more restoration-oriented. Despite the fact that women are more likely to seek the help of professionals, it can be concluded that when coping with grief both men and women need emotional or social support, for example support from friends. Grief is accepted as a normal emotion that does not need to be treated. The normative time of grieving varies from individual to individual. During the grieving period we are more susceptible to health problems, so it is important for us to learn how to manage our emotions.
