Title Odnos trauma u djetinjstvu, zadovoljstva životom i akademskog uspjeha Title (english) Relationship between childhood trauma, life satisfaction and academic success Author Đana Ravlić Mentor Krešimir Prijatelj (mentor)Committee member Krešimir Prijatelj (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Nataša Šimić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Arta Dodaj (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2022-09-26, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Velik broj pojedinaca je u djetinjstvu bio izložen barem nekom od oblika traumatskih iskustava (Mosley-Johnson i sur., 2019), u koje spadaju različite vrste zlostavljanja poput emocionalnog, fizičkog i seksualnog, te zanemarivanja (Hughes i sur., 2017). S obzirom da ovakva iskustva mogu ostaviti dugotrajne negativne posljedice u kasnijim životnim razdobljima (Shapiro i sur., 2014), te su se pokazala čimbenicima rizika za psihičko zdravlje i dobrobit (Botha i van den Berg, 2016), istraživanje varijabli povezanih sa izloženosti traumama bitno je za razumijevanje njihovih mogućih štetnih učinaka. Prethodna istraživanja pokazuju da su traume u djetinjstvu povezane sa nižim zadovoljstvom životom, odnosno subjektivnim doživljajem kvalitete vlastitog života (Mosley-Johnson i sur., 2019). Izloženost traumama može se manifestirati i u domeni obrazovanja, na način da je povezana sa nižim obrazovnim postignućima (Christle i sur., 2007; Porche i sur., 2011). S druge strane, akademski uspjeh je pozitivno povezan sa zadovoljstvom životom (Larson i sur., 2017). U skladu s tim, cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati odnos trauma u djetinjstvu, zadovoljstva životom i akademskog uspjeha. Istraživanje se provelo na na uzorku hrvatskih studenata, dobrovoljnim odazivom na online upitnik. Za ispitivanje trauma u djetinjstvu korištena je Revidirana i proširena verzija Turskog upitnika trauma u djetinjstvu CTQ-33 (Şar i sur, 2020). Zadovoljstvo životom ispitivalo se česticom 'Koliko ste sveukupno zadovoljni svojim životom?' na koje su sudionici odgovarali na skali od 0 do 10, a akademski uspjeh se ispitao u sklopu sociodemografskog upitnika u kojem su sudionici morali označiti koju su prosječnu ocjenu ostvarrili u prethodnoj akademskoj godini. Dobiveni rezultati u skladu su sa prethodnim istraživanjima, odnosno pokazuju da je ukupni rezultat na skali trauma u djetinjstvu statistički značajno negativno povezan sa zadovoljstvom životom i akademskim uspjehom, dok su zadovoljstvo životom i akademski uspjeh statistički značajno pozitivno povezani. Sudionici koji su imali viši rezultat na skali trauma u djetinjstvu ujedno su niže procjenjivali zadovoljstvo životom te imaju niži akademski uspjeh. Također, sudionici koji su procjenjivali zadovoljstvo životom višim, ujedno imaju viši akademski uspjeh.
Abstract (english) A large number of individuals were exposed to at least some form of traumatic experience in childhood (Mosley-Johnson et al., 2019), which includes various types of abuse such as emotional, physical and sexual, and neglect (Hughes et al. , 2017). Given that such experiences can have long-term negative consequences in later stages of life (Shapiro et al., 2014), and that they have been shown to be risk factors for mental health and wellbeing (Botha and van den Berg, 2016), investigating variables related to trauma exposure is essential to understanding their possible adverse effects. Previous research showed that childhood traumas are associated with lower life satisfaction - subjective perception of quality of life (Mosley-Johnson et al. , 2019). Exposure to trauma can also be manifested in the field of education, in a way that it is associated with lower academic success (Porche et al., 2011). On the other hand, life satisfaction is positively corelated with academic succes (Larson i sur., 2017). Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between childhood trauma, life satisfaction, and academic success. The research was conducted on a sample of Croatian students, by voluntary response to an online questionnaire. A Revised and Extended version of the Turkish Childhood Trauma Questionnaire CTQ-33 (Sar et al., 2020) was used to examine childhood trauma, and life satisfaction was tested with the particle 'How satisfied are you overall with your life?' to which participants responded on a scale of 0 to 10. Academic success was examined as part of a sociodemographic questionnaire, in which participants had to answer what average grade they achieved in the previous year of education. The obtained results are in line with previous research - overall result on the scale of childhood trauma is in statistically significant negative correlation with both life satisfaction and academic success, and academic success and life satisfaction are in statistically significant positive correlation. Participants that had a higher score on childhood trauma questionnaire also had a lower assessment of life satisfaction and have lower academic success. Besides that, participants who rated life satisfaction as higher also have higher academic success.
