Title Procjene nekih aspekata kvalitete romantične veze u različitim fazama menstrualnog ciklusa Title (english) Estimates of some aspects of the quality of a romantic relationship at different phases of the menstrual cycle Author Paola Sturnela Mentor Andrea Tokić (mentor)Mentor Irena Pavela Banai (komentor)Committee member Andrea Tokić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Marina Nekić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Ana Šimunić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2018-09-24, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Poznato je da kod žena razine spolnih hormona variraju tijekom menstrualnog ciklusa, koji u prosjeku traje oko 29 dana. Menstrualni ciklus dijeli se u tri faze: menstrualna, folikularna i lutealna faza. Tijekom folikularne faze događa se ovulacija, odnosno razdoblje kada je žena plodna i spremna za potencijalno začeće. Koncentracija estrogena je najviša nekoliko dana prije ili na sam dan ovulacije. Razina progesterona najviša je tijekom lutealne faze ciklusa, odnosno faze kada žena nije plodna. Ta faza obično nastupa 7 ± 2 dana prije nastupanja sljedeće menstruacije i početka novog ciklusa. Menstrualni ciklus kod žena prate i određene psihološke promjene i pojave u ponašanju i doživljavanju. Takve promjene događaju se zbog fluktuacije koncentracije spolnih hormona u različitim fazama menstrualnog ciklusa, a koje se onda odražavaju na različite aspekte ponašanja i doživljavanja pa i na percepciju romantične veze u kojoj se žena nalazi, odnosno na razne aspekte kvalitete te veze. Dosadašnja istraživanja ukazuju da se ljubomora, kao jedan od aspekata kvalitete veze, mijenja u svezi s promjenom koncentracije spolnih hormona tijekom menstrualnog ciklusa. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati promjene u zadovoljstvu vezom i ljubomori u različitim fazama menstrualnog ciklusa, ovulacijskoj fazi kada je žena plodna i lutealnoj fazi kada žena nije plodna. U ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 29 studentica s različitih Sveučilišta u Republici Hrvatskoj koje su trenutno u ljubavnoj vezi. Skalu procjene kvalitete veze i hipotetske scenarije emocionalne i seksualne partnerove nevjere uz skalu procjene ljubomore, sudionice su ispunjavale dva puta, tijekom ovuacijske i tijekom lutealne faze menstrualnog ciklusa. Obradom rezultata nisu dobivene statistički značajne razlike u zadovoljstvu vezom općenito u dvije faze menstrualnog ciklusa. Također, nije dobivena razlika u procjenama emocionalne ljubomore s obzirom na plodnu i neplodnu fazu ciklusa, kao ni u procjenama seksualne ljubomore.
Abstract (english) It is known that the female hormone levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, which on average lasts about 29 days. The menstrual cycle is divided into three phases: menstrual, follicular and luteal phase. During the follicular phase there is an ovulation, the period when the woman is fertile and ready for potentially conception. The estrogen level is highest a few days before or on the day of ovulation. The progesterone level is highest during the luteal phase of the cycle, the phase when the woman is not fertile. This phase usually occurs 7 ± 2 days before the next menstruation begins and the new cycle starts. Menstrual cycles in women also accompany certain psychological changes and changes in behavior. Such changes occur due to fluctuations in the concentration of sex hormones. Changes in the sex hormone concentration can thus affect the women's romantic relationship, or the various aspects of the quality of the relationship. Romantic relationships are an important aspect of every man's life. One of the observed changes associated with changes in hormone concentrations is the change in female jealousy during the phase of the menstrual cycle.The aim of this study is to examine the changes in the relationship satisfaction and jealousy at different stages of the menstrual cycle, the ovulation stage when the woman is fertile and luteal when the woman is not fertile. This study included 29 students from the University in the Republic of Croatia who are currently in a romantic relationship. Relationship Assesment Scale and hypothetical scenarios of emotional and sexual jealousy with the estimation scale, participants filled out twice during the ovulation and during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Using variance analysis with repeated measurements and t-test for dependent samples, no statistically significant difference in the relationship satisfaction between the two stages of the menstrual cycle was found. Also, there was no difference in estimates of emotional jealousy with regard to the fertile and infertile phase of the cycle, as well as in the estimates of sexual jealousy.
