Abstract | Ljubomora je skup misli, emocija i ponašanja koje slijede nakon gubitka ili prijetnje samopoštovanju i/ili kvaliteti ljubavne veze (White i Mullen, 1989) i istražuje se već nekoliko desetljeća. Novija istraživanja ljubomore se bave takozvanom online ljubomorom, odnosno ljubomorom koja se pojavljuje zbog korištenja društvenih mreža kao što su Facebook, Instagram i Snapchat (Muise i sur., 2009; Marshall i sur., 2013; Utz i sur., 2015). Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je proširiti znanje o Instagram ljubomori ispitivajući odnos s kognitivnom, emocionalnom i bihevioralnom ljubomorom te ispitati jesu li spol, povjerenje u partnera, percipirana osjetljivost partnera na vlastite potrebe i projekcija privlačnosti prediktori Instagram ljubomore. Ovo istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 335 sudionika koji su trenutno u ljubavnoj vezi, 293 žene i 42 muškarca. Instagram ljubomora je ispitana modificiranom skalom Facebook ljubomore (Šimičević, 2019; Muise i sur., 2009). Osim navedene skale korištena je i Skala multidimenzionalne ljubomore (Pfeiffer i Wong, 1989; Kalebić i sur., 2000). U svrhu mjerenja partnerove responzivnosti, povjerenja u partnera, privlačnosti prema alternativnim partnerima i procjene partnerove privlačnosti prema alternativnim partnerima prevedene su skale: Skala percipirane osjetljivosti partnera na vlastite potrebe (Reis i Charmichael, 2006), Skala povjerenja u bliskim vezama (Rempel, Holmes i Zanna, 1985), Privlačnost prema alternativnim partnerima (Neal i Lemay, 2017). Provedene su konfirmatorne faktorske analize za gore navedene skale te je potvrđena njihova originalna faktorska struktura i na hrvatskoj populaciji. Utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika između muškaraca i žena u Instagram i emocionalnoj ljubomori. Žene su bile više ljubomorne. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između muškaraca i žena u kognitivnoj i bihevioralnoj ljubomori. Utvrđena je statistički značajna pozitivna povezanost Instagram ljubomore s kognitivnom, emocionalnom i bihevioralnom ljubomorom. Utvrđeno je da se 9,5% varijance Instagram ljubomore može objasniti putem četiri prediktorske varijable: povjerenje i responzivnost partnera, privlačnosti prema alternativnim partnerima i percepcija partnerove privlačnosti prema alternativnim partnerima. Osobe manjeg povjerenja i niže percipirane responzivnosti partnera , niske privlačnosti prema alternativnim partnerima i koji više percipiraju da njihove partnere privlače alternativni partneri će biti više ljubomorni. Spol se nije pokazao kao značajan prediktor Instagram ljubomore. |
Abstract (english) | Jealousy complex of behaviors, thoughts and emotions resulting from the perception of harm or threat to the self and/or the romantic relationship by a real or potential rival relationship (White i Mullen, 1989), and is a topic of a lot of reasearch in the past few decades. More recent research on jealousy deals with so-called online jealousy, i.e. jealousy that appears due to the use of social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat (Muise i sur., 2009; Marshall i sur., 2013; Utz i sur., 2015, Šimičević, 2019).The aim of this research was to expand knowledge about Instagram jealousy by examining the relationship with cognitive, emotional and behavioral jealousy and to examine whether sex, trust in the partner, perceived responsiveness of the partner to one's own needs and projection of attractiveness are predictors of Instagram jealousy. This research was conducted on a sample of 335 participants who are currently in a relationship, 293 women and 42 men. Instagram jealousy was tested with a modified Facebook jealousy scale (Šimičević, 2019; Muise et al., 2009). In addition to the mentioned scale, the Multidimensional Jealousy Scale was also used (Pfeiffer and Wong, 1989; Kalebić et al., 2000). In order to measure the partner's responsiveness, trust in the partner, attractiveness towards alternative partners and assessment of the partner's attractiveness towards alternative partners, the following scales were translated: Perceived partner responsiveness scale (Reis and Charmichael, 2006), Trust in close relationships scale (Rempel, Holmes and Zanna, 1985), Attraction to alternative partners (Neal and Lemay, 2017). Confirmatory factor analyzes were carried out for the above-mentioned scales, and their original factor structure was confirmed in the Croatian population as well. A statistically significant differences between men and women were found in Instagram and emotional jealousy. Women were more jealous. There was no significant differences between men and women in cognitive and bihevioral jealousy. A statistically significant positive correlation between Instagram jealousy and cognitive, emotional and behavioral jealousy was established. It was found that 9.5% of the variance in Instagram jealousy could be explained by four predictor variables: trust and percieved partner responsiveness, attractiveness to alternative partners, and perception of partner's attractiveness to alternative partners. People with less trust and lower perceived partner responsiveness, low attraction towards alternative partners and who perceive more that their partners are attracted to alternative partners will be more jealous. Gender was not found to be a significant predictor of Instagram jealousy. |
