| Abstract | LGB osobe često doživljavaju nasilje i diskriminaciju (Milković, 2013) koja im smanjuje
psihološku dobrobit i zadovoljstvo životom (Mays i Cochran, 2001). Cilj je ovog istraživanja
bio ispitati povezanost otpornosti na stres sa psihološkom dobrobiti kod LGB osoba, te postoje
li razlike u toj povezanosti s obzirom na stupanj autanosti, prikrivanja seksualne orijentacije i
autentičnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 408 LGB osoba. Kako bi se ciljevi mogli ispitati,
korišteni su sljedeći upitnici: Skala psihološke dobrobiti (Ryff, 2013), Kratka skala otpornosti
(Smith i sur., 2008), Skala prikrivanja seksualne orijentacije (Pikić i Jugović, 2006), Inventar
autanosti (Mohr i Fassinger, 2000) te Skala autentičnosti (Riggle i sur., 2014). Za potrebe ovog
istraživanja korištene su i razne mjere sociodemografskih karakteristika. Rezultati su pokazali
kako psihološka dobrobit ima srednje visoku pozitivnu korelaciju s otpornosti na stres, nisku
pozitivnu s autanosti i autentičnosti te nisku negativnu s prikrivanjem seksualne orijentacije.
Regresijskom analizom u koju su bile uključene sve varijable objašnjeno je 40,3 % varijance
psihološke dobrobiti, a kao najbolji prediktor pokazala se otpornost na stres. Značajni prediktori
bili su i rodni identitet, stupanj obrazovanja, prikrivanje seksualne orijentacije i autentičnost,
dok dob, veličina prebivališta i autanost nisu bili značajni. Veća otpornost na stres, autentičnost
i stupanj obrazovanja te ženski spol pozitivni su prediktori psihološke dobrobiti, dok je
prikrivanje seksualne orijentacije negativan. U konačnici, testirani su moderatorski utjecaji
varijabli autanosti, prikrivanja seksualne orijentacije i autentičnosti na odnos između otpornosti
na stres i psihološke dobrobiti, ali sve su tri moderacije bile neznačajne. |
| Abstract (english) | Often, LGB people experience violence and discrimination (Milković, 2013) which lowers their
psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction (Mays & Cochran, 2001). The goal of this research
was to investigate the association between resilience to stress and psychological wellbeing in
LGB people, and if there were any differences in that association regarding the level of outness,
concealment and authenticity. Participants in this research were 408 LGB persons. In order to
investigate these research goals, the following questionnaires were used: Psychological
Wellbeing Scale (Ryff, 2013), Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008), Concealment Scale
(Pikić & Jugović, 2006), Outness Inventory (Mohr & Fassinger, 2000) and Authenticity Scale
(Riggle et al., 2014). For the needs of this research, certain sociodemographic measures were
used. Results showed that psychological wellbeing has medium positive correlation with
resilience to stress and low positive correlation with outness and authenticity, while having low
negative correlation with concealment. Regression analysis with all variables included has
accounted for 40,3 % of variance of psychological wellbeing with resilience to stress as the best
predictor. Gender identity, education level, concealment and authenticity were significant
predictors, while age, size of place of residence and outness were not significant. Higher
resilience to stress, authenticity, education level and female gender positively predicted
psychological wellbeing, while concealment predicted it negatively. Finally, moderator effects
of outness, concealment and authenticity on the relationship between resilience to stress and
psychological wellbeing were tested, but all three of them were found as non-significant. |
