Title Uloga online nadzora, preokupacije odnosom i nekih karakteristika veze u objašnjenju teškoća i osobnog rasta nakon prekida ljubavne veze Title (english) The role of online surveillance, relationship preoccupation and certain relationship characteristics in explaining breakup distress and personal growth after love relationship break up Author Maja Jurkić Mentor Vera Ćubela-Adorić (mentor)Committee member Ljiljana Gregov (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Vera Ćubela-Adorić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Nataša Šimić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2025-02-26, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Prekid ljubavne veze smatra se vrlo uznemirujućim događajem i čimbenikom rizika za razvoj niza emocionalnih problema. Razina teškoća, koje se javljaju kao neadaptivan odgovor na stres, razlikuje se među pojedincima i različitim vezama na predvidljiv i sistematičan način. Međutim, reakcije na prekid nisu uvijek negativne, već pojedinci mogu iskusiti i osobni rast kao posljedicu mentalne borbe s uznemirujućom situacijom koju su doživjeli.

... More autora za pozitivne promjene koje prekid veze može donijeti. Shodno tome, ovo istraživanje nastoji pobliže identificirati procese koji značajno doprinose ne samo očekivanim teškoćama nakon prekida veze, već i osobnom rastu pojedinaca. Danas društvene mreže imaju sve veću ulogu u romantičnim odnosima, a online nadzor bivšeg partnera/ice sve je popularniji i može značajano ometati prilagodbu na prekid veze. Proces oporavka može značajno narušiti i preokupiranost prošlim odnosom koja podrazumijeva opetovano razmišljanje o bivšem partneru/ici i neprestanu zaokupljenost osjećajima vezanima za konkretan odnos. Stoga, opći cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati u kakvom su odnosu online nadzor bivšeg partnera/partnerice, preokupacija odnosom i neke karakteristike ljubavne veze s teškoćama i osobnim rastom nakon prekida. Dodatno su analizirane faktorske strukture i pouzdanost tipa unutarnje konzistencije adaptiranih Skala online nadzora (ISS, engl. Internet Surveillance Scale, Tokunaga, 2011) i Skale preokupacije odnosom (RPS, engl. Relationship Preoccupation Scale, Davis i sur., 2003). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 257 punoljetnih sudionika koji su doživjeli prekid veze u posljednjim trima godinama. Sudionici su popunjavali online upitnik koji je sadržavao pitanja o njihovim općim karakteristikama i njihovoj prošloj vezi, a uz već spomenute mjere online nadzora i preokupiranosti odnosom, popunili su i Upitnik osobnog rasta (PTGI, engl. Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Tedeschi i Calhoun, 1996) te Skalu teškoća nakon prekida (BDS, engl. Breakup Distress Scale, Field i sur., 2010). Utvrđeno je da je preokupacija odnosom značajan pozitivan prediktor teškoća nakon prekida veze, dok je spol značajan prediktor osobnog rasta nakon prekida veze, pri čemu su žene izvijestile o izraženijem doživljaju osobnog rasta nego muškarci. Također, utvrđeno je da generalno više teškoća nakon prekida doživljavaju pojedinci koji su ostavljeni u odnosu na one koji su tu odluku inicirali ili je donijeli obostrano. S druge strane, pojedinci koji su inicirali prekid i oni koji su odluku o završetku odnosa donijeli zajednički ne razlikuju se značajno u doživljavanju teškoća nakon prekida veze. Također, sudionici se ne razlikuju značajno u online nadzoru bivšeg partnera/ice ovisno o tome tko je bio inicijator prekida. Rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu pridonijeti boljem razumijevanju procesa oporavka i rasta nakon prekida veze te potaknuti daljnja ispitivanja konstrukta online nadzora u hrvatskoj populaciji. Less Abstract (english) The breakup of a love relationship is considered a highly distressing event and a risk factor for the development of various emotional issues. The level of difficulties that arise as a nonadaptive response to stress varies among individuals and relationships in a predictable and systematic way. However, reactions to a breakup are not always negative, individuals may also experience personal growth as a consequence of the mental struggle with the distressing situation they have faced. A
... More review of the literature reveals a lack of interest among authors in the positive changes that a breakup can bring. Therefore, this study aimed to identify more closely the processes that significantly contribute not only to the expected distress following a breakup but also to the personal growth of individuals. Today, social media plays a progressively important role in romantic relationships, and the construct of online surveillance of an ex partner is gaining popularity and may significantly interfere with the adjustment to the breakup. The recovery process can be significantly disrupted by preoccupation with a past relationship, which involves repeatedly thinking about a former partner and constant fixation on the emotions related to that specific relationship. Hence, the general aim of this research was to examine the relationship between online surveillance of an ex partner, relationship preoccupation, and certain characteristics of a love relationship with the breakup distress and personal growth following a breakup. Additionally, the factor structures and internal consistency type reliability of the adapted Internet Surveillance Scale (ISS, Tokunaga, 2011) and the Relationship Preoccupation Scale (RPS, Davis et al., 2003) were analysed. The study included 257 adult participants who had experienced a breakup within the last three years. Participants completed an online questionnaire that included general questions about them and their past relationship, along with the previously mentioned measures of online surveillance and relationship preoccupation, they also filled Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) and the Breakup Distress Scale (BDS, Field et al., 2010). It was found that relationship preoccupation is the only significant positive predictor of breakup distress, while gender is significant predictor of personal growth after a breakup, with a greater experience of personal growth reported by women than men. It was also found that individuals who were left by their partners typically experience more distress after the breakup compared to those who initiated breakup themselves or agreed on it mutually. On the other hand, individuals who initiated the breakup themselves and those who made the decision to end the relationship mutually, do not differ significantly in their experience of difficulties following the breakup. Additionally, participants do not significantly differ in the online surveillance of their ex partner depending on who initiated the breakup. The results of this study can contribute to a better understanding of the recovery and growth process after a breakup and encourage further studies of the construct of online surveillance in the Croatian population.
