Title Povezanost nezadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom sa socijalnom i emocionalnom usamljenošću studenata Title (english) The relationship between body dissatisfaction and social and emotional loneliness in students Author Lučijana Karaman Mentor Vera Ćubela-Adorić (mentor)Committee member Vera Ćubela-Adorić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Marina Vidaković (član povjerenstva)Committee member Krešimir Jakšić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2024-09-18, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Nezadovoljstvo tjelesnim izgledom i usamljenost su vrlo rasprostranjena, za pojedinca neugodna iskustva. Nezadovoljstvo tjelesnim izgledom je subjektivna negativna procjena vlastitog tjelesnog izgleda, pojedinih dijelova tijela i nekih njegovih obilježja. Usamljenost je subjektivno iskustvo koje se javlja kada pojedinac ima deficitarnu mrežu socijalnih odnosa, bilo to u kvaliteti ili kvantiteti. U ovom istraživanju se usamljenost operacionalizirala kao dvodimenzionalan konstrukt, u skladu s klasifikacijom Weissa (1973, prema Russell i sur., 1984) u kojoj se razlikuju emocionalna (usamljenost u ljubavi i usamljenost u obitelji) i socijalna usamljenost. U literaturi se pretpostavlja da povezanosti nezadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom i usamljenosti posreduje socijalno izbjegavanje tako što oni koji su nezadovoljni svojim tijelom izbjegavaju socijalne interakcije što doprinosi osjećaju usamljenosti. Prethodna istraživanja koja su povezivala nezadovoljstvo tjelesnim izgledom i usamljenost na uzorku mladih odraslih su malobrojna, i kada ih povezuju koriste usamljenost kao jednodimenzionalni konstrukt. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati odnos socijalne i emocionalne usamljenosti (usamljenost u ljubavi i usamljenost u obitelji) s jedne strane te zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom s druge strane, te ispitati razlike u navedenim varijablama prema spolu studenata. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 88 studentica i 84 studenta. Podaci sudionika su se prikupljali putem online upitnika koji je sadržavao pitanja o sociodemografskim podacima, čestice sa Subskale zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom iz Skale zadovoljstva tjelesnim izgledom i sa Skale socijalne i emocionalne usamljenosti (SELSA). Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju su socijalna usamljenost, usamljenost u ljubavi i usamljenost u obitelji studenata negativno povezane sa zadovoljstvom tjelesnim izgledom. Nije utvrđena značajna razlika između studenata i studentica u socijalnoj usamljenosti, usamljenosti u ljubavi i usamljenosti u obitelji. Isto tako se pokazalo da se studenti i studentice ne razlikuju značajno ni u zadovoljstvu tjelesnim izgledom.
Abstract (english) Body dissatisfaction and loneliness are a very widespread, unpleasant experiences for an individual. Body dissatisfaction is a subjective negative assessment of one’s physical appearance, certain body parts and some of its characteristics. Loneliness is a subjective experience which occurs when an individual has a deficient social network, whether qualitatively or quantitatively. In this study loneliness was operationalized as a twodimensional construct, in accordance with Weiss’s (1973, as cited in Russell et al., 1984) typology in which emotional (loneliness in love and loneliness in the family) and social loneliness are differentiated. In previous studies it is assumed that the connection between dissatisfaction with body appearance and loneliness is mediated by social avoidance, in that those who are dissatisfied with their body avoid social interactions, which contributes to the feeling of loneliness. There are few studies that have linked body dissatisfaction and loneliness in a sample of young adults, and when they are linked loneliness is used as a onedimensional construct. Therefore, the aim of this research was to examine the relationship between social and emotional loneliness (loneliness in love and loneliness in the family) on one side, and body satisfaction on the other, and to examine the differences in the mentioned variables with regard to the sex of the students. The research consisted of 88 female and 84 male students. Participant data was collected through an online questionnaire that contained questions about sociodemographic data, items from the Body-Esteem Appearance Subscale from the Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESAA) and the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA). The results of the research showed that social loneliness, loneliness in love and loneliness in the family of students are negatively correlated with body satisfaction. There was no significant difference between male and female students in social loneliness, loneliness in love and loneliness in the family. It was also shown that male and female students do not differ significantly in body satisfaction.
