Title Odnos osobnih karakteristika i doživljaja ostracizma u igri Cyberball Title (english) Relationship between personal characteristics and experience of ostracism in the Cyberball game Author Tamara Cakić Mentor Pavle Valerjev (mentor)Committee member Vera Ćubela-Adorić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Pavle Valerjev (član povjerenstva)Committee member Arta Dodaj (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zadar Defense date and country 2024-09-19, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Ostracizam, oblik socijalnog isključivanja, čija je glavna značajka namjerno ignoriranje, uzrokuje refleksnu socijalnu bol. Negativne afektivne reakcije – narušene temeljne potrebe (pripadanje, samopoštovanje, kontrola, smisao postojanja) i raspoloženje – čine se univerzalnima među ljudima. Međutim, povezanost između osobnih karakteristika i oporavka od ostracizma nedovoljno je istražena. Ovo se eksperimentalno-korelacijsko istraživanje bavilo odnosom između osobnih karakteristika (samopoštovanje, usamljenost, preferirana samoća | sklonost socijalnoj termoregulaciji) i pokazatelja doživljaja, ali i oporavka, od ostracizma (temeljne potrebe, raspoloženje, želja za socijalnim kontaktom s bliskom osobom | procjena metaforičke topline suigrača i ozračja). Zadarski studenti preddiplomskog studija (N = 47) najprije su bili ignorirani (prva runda), a zatim ravnomjerno uključeni (druga runda) u Cyberballu, tobožnjoj online igri dobacivanje loptice. U skladu s očekivanjem, rezultati pokazuju da ostracizam narušava temeljne potrebe i raspoloženje. Iako povezanost između osobnih karakteristika i refleksnih afektivnih reakcija na ostracizam nije bila očekivana, usamljeniji sudionici izvijestili su o manje zadovoljenim temeljnim potrebama. Općenito, suprotno pretpostavci, nije utvrđena povezanost između osobnih karakteristika i pokazatelja oporavka od ostracizma. Međutim, nekoliko odnosa ipak se pokazalo značajnima: sudionici koji preferiraju samoću izvijestili su o manjoj želji za socijalnim kontaktom nakon ostracizma i manjem padu negativnog raspoloženja nakon uključivanja; veća sklonost socijalnoj termoregulaciji povezana je s nižim procjenama topline suigrača nakon ostracizma; sudionici skloniji socijalnoj, ali i oni manje skloni samostalnoj termoregulaciji, izvijestili su o većoj želji za socijalnim kontaktom nakon ostracizma.
Abstract (english) Ostracism, a form of social exclusion characterized by intentional ignoring, causes reflexive social pain. Negative affective reactions – thwarted fundamental needs (belonging, self-esteem, control, meaningful existence) and mood – appear universal among people. However, the relationship between personal characteristics and recovery from ostracism is understudied. This experimental-correlational study examined the relationship between personal characteristics (self-esteem, loneliness, preferred solitude | tendency towards social thermoregulation) and indicators of the experience, as well as recovery, from ostracism (fundamental needs, mood, desire for social contact with a close person | assessment of metaphorical warmth of the players and the atmosphere). Undergraduate students from Zadar (N = 47) were initially ignored (first round) and then evenly included (second round) in Cyberball, a simulated online ball-tossing game. As expected, the results show that ostracism disrupts fundamental needs and mood. While the association between personal characteristics and reflexive affective reactions to ostracism was not expected, lonelier participants reported less satisfied fundamental needs. In general, contrary to the assumption, no association was found between personal characteristics and indicators of recovery from ostracism. However, several relationships were significant: participants who prefer solitude reported less desire for social contact after ostracism and a smaller decrease in negative mood after inclusion; greater tendency towards social thermoregulation was associated with lower ratings of other players’ warmth after ostracism; participants more inclined towards social, as well as those less inclined towards solitary thermoregulation, reported a greater desire for social contact after ostracism.
