| Sažetak | Kompleksnost života pojedinaca određuju osobine ličnosti kao i mnoge druge značajke poput načina donošenja odluka u njegovoj svakodnevici. Neuroticizam, zbog svoje izrazito negativne manifestacije poput osjećaja straha ili anksioznosti, u velikoj mjeri određuje život pojedinca. Nadalje, proces donošenja odluka nekad može biti zahtjevan, a dodatno ga mogu otežati značajke pojedinca poput njegove neodlučnosti, odgađanja donošenja odluka ili maksimizacije (traženje alternativa, visoki standardi i teškoće odlučivanja). Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je s jedne strane ispitati odnose neuroticizma i aspekata donošenja odluka s akademskim uspjehom, a s druge strane odnose neuroticizma i aspekata donošenja odluka. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 256 studenata, od čega 186 žena i 70 muškaraca. Ispitanici su online ispunjavali upitnike maksimizacije (Turkan, 2015), neodlučnosti (Frost i Shows, 1993), brzine donošenja rutinskih odluka u svakodnevnom životu (Predrijevac, 2017) i Eysenckov upitnik ličnosti (EPQ R/A, Eysenck i Eysenck, 1991). Rezultati su pokazali kako su studenti koji su upisali redovnu akademsku godinu odlučniji i manje skloni traženju alternativa. Isto tako, ispitanici koji imaju niži prosjek ocjena skloniji su traženju alternativa, a ispitanici koji su zadovoljniji sobom kao studentom proživljavaju manje teškoća s odlučivanjem, manje odgađaju donošenje odluka, manje su neurotični i više odlučni. Nadalje, utvrđeno je kako pojedinci visoko na neuroticizmu odgađaju donošenje odluka, neodlučni su, skloni traženju alternativa i proživljavaju teškoće prilikom odlučivanja. Isto tako, ispitanici kojima treba više vremena da donesu odluku skloniji su traženju alternativa i proživljavaju više teškoća prilikom donošenja odluka. Naposlijetku, utvrđeno je kako neodlučniji pojedinci imaju više standarde i proživljavaju teškoće prilikom donošenja odluka. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Life complexity of an individual depends on personality traits and many other qualities such as his/her abilities to make choices in everyday life. Neuroticism, because of its highly negative manifestation such as feelings of fear or anxiety, largely determines the life of an individual. Furthermore, the process of conducting life choices can sometimes be challenging, more so if the person is indecisive, continuously delaying his or her obligations to make decisions or is maximizing the decision (searching for alternative solutions, high standards and experience of difficulties while deciding). The purpose of this research was to examine, on the one hand, the relationship between neuroticism and decision-making aspects with academic success, and, on the other, the relationship between neuroticism and decision-making aspects. The study involved 256 students, of which 186 were women and 70 men. Participants completed the following questionnaires online: Maximization Scale (Turkan, 2015), Indecissivenes Scale (Frost and Shows, 1993), Routine Decision-Making Questionnaire in Everyday Life (Predrijevac, 2017) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ R / A, Eysenck and Eysenck, 1991). The results showed that students who enrolled in the regular academic year were more determined and less inclined to seek alternatives. Similarly, participants with a lower average grade point are more likely to seek alternatives, and those who are more satisfied with themselves as a student experience less decisionmaking difficulty, less decision-making delay, are less neurotic, and more decided. Furthermore, neurotic individuals have been found to delay decision-making, are hesitant, prone to seek alternatives, and experience decision-making difficulties. Likewise, participants who need more time to make a decision are more likely to look for alternatives and have more difficulty making decisions. Finally, more indecisive individuals were found to have higher standards and experience decision-making difficulties. |
