Abstract Pokazalo se da je oprost važan preduvjet za rješavanje bračnih sukoba i općenito za kvalitetno bračno funkcioniranje. S obzirom na tako važnu ulogu oprosta, istraživači su se bavili ispitivanjem mehanizma koji stoji u podlozi spremnosti na opraštanje prema supružniku. Rezultati dosadašnjih istraživanja upućuju na to da oprost ima medijacijsku ulogu između atribucija negativnog partnerova ponašanja i različitih bračnih ishoda. U istraživanjima su najčešće korištene kompozitne mjere atribucija, pa doprinos pojedinih dimenzija atribucija nije dovoljno istražen, kao ni razlike s obzirom na spol. Stoga, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je detaljnije istražiti odnos između kauzalnih atribucija, atribucija odgovornosti, spremnosti na opraštanje i uspješnosti rješavanja sukoba u braku, kao i spolne razlike u navedenim konstruktima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 116 muškaraca i 116 žena koji su u trenutku ispitivanja bili u braku, pri čemu nisu nužno sudjelovala oba supružnika. Sudionici su ispunjavali online upitnik koji je sadržavao Skalu neučinkovitog sukobljavanja (Ineffective Arguing Inventory, Kurdek, 1994), Skalu oprosta za specifičnu uvredu u braku (Marital Offence-Specific Forgiveness Scale, Paleari i sur., 2009), Upitnik atribucija u vezi (Relationship Attribution Measure, Fincham i Bradbury, 1992), kratku procjenu zadovoljstva brakom i opće sociodemografske podatke. Rezultati upućuju na to da žene procjenjuju uzroke partnerova negativnog ponašanja globalnijima i pripisuju im više krivnje za negativna ponašanja u usporedbi s muškarcima. Žene također daju više procjene čestine negativnih ponašanja partnera u odnosu na muškarce. Također se pokazalo da su više iskazane neadaptivne tendencije atribuiranja (tendencije atribuiranja negativnog ponašanja partnera internalnim, stabilnim i globalnim uzrocima i više procjene intencionalnosti, sebične motiviranosti i krivnje partnera) povezane s nižom spremnosti na opraštanje i višom percipiranom neučinkovitosti sukobljavanja. Utvrđeno je da obje dimenzije oprosta (dobronamjernost i izbjegavanje/ozlojeđenost) imaju ulogu medijatora u vezi između procjena stabilnosti, odnosno sebične motiviranosti partnerova ponašanja i percipirane neučinkovitosti sukobljavanja.
Abstract (english) Forgiveness has shown to be an important prerequisite for resolving marital conflicts and in general, for quality marital functioning. Considering such an important role of forgiveness, the researchers studied the mechanism underlying the willingness to forgive one's spouse. The results of previous research indicate that forgiveness plays a mediating role between attributions of a partner's negative behavior and different marital outcomes. Composite measures of attributions are commonly used in research, so the contribution of individual dimensions of attributions is not examined sufficiently, nor are the gender differences. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate in more detail the relationship between causal attributions, attributions of responsibility, willingness to forgive and efficacy in marital conflict resolution, as well as the gender differences in the mentioned constructs. 116 men and 116 women who were married at the time of the study participated in the research, although it wasn't necessary for both spouses to participate. The participants filled out an online questionnaire that contained the Ineffective Arguing Inventory (Kurdek, 1994), the Marital Offense-Specific Forgiveness Scale (Paleari et al., 2009), the Relationship Attribution Measure (Fincham & Bradbury, 1992), one-item measure of marital satisfaction and general sociodemographic data. The results indicate that women evaluate the causes of their partners' negative behavior more globally and attribute more blame for negative behavior compared to men. Women also give higher ratings of the frequency of negative partner behaviors compared to men. It was also shown that higher expressed maladaptive attribution tendencies (tendencies to attribute the partner's negative behavior to internal, stable and global causes and higher ratings of the partner's intentionality, selfish motivation and guilt) are associated with a lower willingness to forgive and a higher perceived arguing ineffectiveness. Both dimensions of forgiveness (benevolence and avoidance/resentment) were found to play a mediating role in the relationship between appraisals of stability/selfish motivation of partner's behavior and perceived arguing ineffectiveness.
