Empatija jest sposobnost uživljavanja u emocionalna stanja druge osobe iz kojih proizlazi suosjećanje te razumijevanje njezina položaja na temelju percipirane ili zamišljene situacije u kojoj se ta osoba nalazi. Nadalje, emocionalna manipulacija predstavlja tendenciju zadovoljavanja vlastitih emocionalnih potreba kroz prikriveno djelovanje na tuđa ponašanja, razmišljanja i osjećaje. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos kvalitete prijateljstva (s najboljim prijateljem/icom) , emocionalne manipulacije i empatije u kontekstu muških i ženskih istospolnih prijateljstava kod osoba u dobi od 18 do 35 godina. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 162 sudionika pri čemu je broj muškaraca bio N=70, dok je broj žena bio N=92. Sudionici su istraživanju pristupili online putem. Za ispitivanje kvalitete prijateljstva koristio se McGillov upitnik prijateljstva-Kvaliteta prijateljstva (Carević, 2019), empatija je ispitana Skalom emocionalne empatije (Raboteg-Šarić, 2002), dok se za ispitivanje emocionalne manipulacije koristila Modificirana skala emocionalne manipulacije odnosno Podljestvica emocionalne manipulacije (Opat Jozić i Ombla, 2019). Utvrđeno je kako žene izvještavaju o većoj kvaliteti prijateljstva te većoj tendenciji doživljavanja empatije u odnosu na muškarce, dok muškarci izvještavaju o većoj sklonosti emocionalnoj manipulaciji u odnosu na žene. Nadalje, općenito su sudionici koji su pokazali veću tendenciju doživljavanja empatije pokazali i manju sklonost emocionalnoj manipulaciji, no na poduzorcima muškaraca i žena nije utvrđena značajna povezanost. Također, općenito su sudionici koji su izvještavali o većoj kvaliteti prijateljstva izvještavali i o većoj tendenciji doživljavanja empatije te manjoj sklonosti emocionalnoj manipulaciji. Takav je nalaz potvrđen i na poduzorku žena, no na poduzorku muškaraca dobivena je značajna pozitivna povezanost kvalitete prijateljstva i empatije, dok između kvalitete prijateljstva i emocionalne manipulacije nije utvrđena značajna povezanost. Rezultati su dijelom u skladu s dosadašnjim spoznajama stoga upućuju na potrebu daljnjih istraživanja.
Abstract (english) Friendship is one of the most common interpersonal relationships that can vary in its quality which is determined by the way of interaction and implies feelings such as closeness, trust and mutual help, as well as success in resolving conflicts that may arise in that relationship. Empathy is the ability to sympathize with another person's emotional states which determines compassion and understanding of someone else's position based on the perceived or imagined situation in which that person is. Furthermore, emotional manipulation represents a tendency to satisfy one’s own emotional needs through covert action on other people's behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between friendship quality (with the best friend), emotional manipulation and empathy in the context of male and female same-sex friendships among people aged 18 to 35. The study involved 162 participants (number of male participants was N=70 and number of female participants was N=92). Participants accessed the survey online. McGill's Friendship Questionnaire-Quality of Friendship (Carević, 2019) was used to examine friendship quality, empathy was examined with Emotional Empathy Scale (Raboteg-Šarić, 2002), while the Modified Emotional Manipulation Scale, more precisely Emotional Manipulation Subscale (Opat Jozić i Ombla, 2019) was used to examine emotional manipulation. It was found that women report a higher quality of friendship and a greater tendency to experience empathy in relation to men, while men report a greater tendency to emotional manipulation in relation to women. Furthermore, participants who showed a greater tendency to experience empathy also showed a lower tendency for emotional manipulation, but no significant association was found in the male and female subsamples. Also, participants who reported a high quality of friendship reported a greater tendency to experience empathy and a lower tendency for emotional manipulation. Such a finding was also confirmed in the female subsample, but in the male subsample a significant positive correlation was obtained between the quality of friendship and empathy, while no significant correlation was found between the quality of friendship and emotional manipulation. The results are mostly in accordance with previous research, therefore they indicate the need for further research.
