Title Emocionalna inteligencija i taktike manipulacije u ljubavnim vezama Title (english) Emotional intelligence and manipulation tactics in romantic relationships Author Ana Bošković Mentor Marina Vidaković (mentor)Committee member Marina Vidaković (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Irena Burić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Marina Nekić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2020-09-29, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Emocionalna inteligencija odnosi se na sposobnost procjene vlastitih i tuđih emocija, izražavanje i regulaciju emocija te upotrebu tih informacija u svrhu daljnjeg ponašanja. Visoka emocionalna inteligencija, između ostalog, pruža razumijevanje posljedica manipulativnog ponašanja. Uspješna interpersonalna manipulacija zahtjeva socijalne vještine, sposobnost razumijevanja osjećaja druge osobe te mogućnost predviđanja reakcije na određene emocionalne podražaje. Manipulacija za svrhu ima postizanje određenog cilja te je prisutna u svakodnevnom životu pojedinca, od manipuliranja neživim objektima do međuljudskih odnosa, kao što su održavanje veze ili zadržavanje partnera. Korištenje taktika manipulacije značajno je češće u ljubavnim odnosima u usporedbi s bilo kojom drugom vrstom odnosa, što ukazuje na specifičnost prirode i intenziteta ljubavnog odnosa. S obzirom da emocionalna inteligencija i manipulacija imaju značajnu ulogu u ljubavnim vezama, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi povezanost tih dvaju konstrukata te ispitati razlikuju li se muškarci i žene u emocionalnoj inteligenciji i korištenju određenih taktika manipulacije. Konačni uzorak sastojao se od 73 žene te 38 muškaraca prosječne dobi 27,48 godina. Sudionici su ispunjavali Upitnik emocionalne kompetentnosti (UEK-45; Takšić, 2002) te Modificiranu skalu taktika manipulacije (prevedena
i modificirana verzija Tactics of manipulation; Buss, 1992; Opat, 2017). Rezultati su pokazali da postoji značajna razlika u emocionalnoj inteligenciji te korištenju taktika manipulacije s obzirom na spol. Žene postižu više rezultate na upitniku emocionalne inteligencije u odnosu na muškarce. Također, žene u značajno većoj mjeri od muškaraca izjavljuju o korištenju indirektnih taktika za prisilu te direktnih taktika manipulacije, dok za indirektne taktike podilaženja nisu pronađene razlike s obzirom na spol. Naposljetku, utvrđena je značajna povezanost pojedinih subskala emocionalne inteligencije s taktikama manipulacije. Sposobnost uočavanja i razumijevanja emocija povezana je s korištenjem direktnih taktika, dok je sposobnost izražavanja i imenovanja emocija povezana s korištenjem indirektnih taktika za podilaženje.
Abstract (english) Emotional intelligence refers to the ability of assessing one’s emotions and emotions of others, expressing and regulating emotions as well as using this information for the purpose of adjusting future behaviour. Also, high emotional intelligence helps to understand the consequences of manipulative behaviour. Manipulation, as a part of man’s everyday life regards one’s intentional, although not necessarily conscious, employment of various tactics in order to attain a particular goal; it can be about manipulating inanimate objects or interpersonal relationships, so as to maintain a relationship or keep a partner. The use of manipulative tactics occurs far more often in romantic relationships in comparison to any other types of relationships, which indicates the specific nature and intensity of a romantic relationship. Since emotional intelligence and manipulation have significant roles in romantic relationships, the aim of this research was to establish the correlation of these two constructs and examine whether men and women differ in emotional intelligence and the use of particular tactics of manipulation. The final sample involved 73 women and 38 men with an average age of 27,48 years. The participants completed Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire (ESCQ-45; Takšić, 2002) as well as Modified Tactics of Manipulation Scale (translated and modified version of Tactics of Manipulation; Buss, 1992; Opat, 2017). The results showed a significant difference in emotional intelligence and the use of manipulation tactics when it comes to sex. Women achieve higher scores than men on the emotional competence questionnaire. Women also report far greater usage of indirect tactics for coercion and direct tactics of manipulation. There was no difference in sex regarding the use of indirect humouring tactics. Lastly, a significant correlation was established between particular subscales of emotional intelligence and manipulation tactics. The ability to perceive and understand emotions is associated with the use of direct tactics, while the ability to express and name emotions is associated with the use of indirect tactics for humouring.
