| Abstract | Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istražiti na koji su način samostišavanje i perfekcionizam povezani sa simptomima depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa kod studenata i studentica. Ukupan broj sudionika u istraživanju bio je 200, od čega 120 djevojaka i 80 mladića u dobi od 18 do 28 godina (M=21,94, SD=1,974). Istraživanje je provedeno putem Google obrasca, a sudionici su odgovarali na pitanja kroz tri upitnika: Skala samostišavanja (Jack i Dill, 1992), Multidimenzionalna skala perfekcionizma (Frost i sur., 1990) i Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (Lovibond i Lovibond, 1995). Rezultati ukazuju na blago povišene vrijednosti depresivnosti i stresa, te na umjereno povišene vrijednosti anksioznosti, a na perfekcionizmu i samostišavanju su rezultati iznad teorijskog prosjeka. Utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika između spolova kod anksioznosti i stresa. Djevojke su postizale više rezultate na anksioznosti, a mladići na stresu. Ostale varijable nisu pokazale značajne spolne razlike. Dobivene su i statistički značajne spolne razlike na dimenziji perfekcionizma, Sumnja u vlastitu izvedbu, gdje su djevojke postizale više rezultate, kao i na dimenziji samostišavanja, Eksternalizirano samoopažanje. Mladići su postizali više rezultate na dimenziji samostišavanja Briga kao požrtvovnost. Regresijskom analizom objašnjeno je 50,5% varijance depresivnosti putem četiri prediktora, gdje najveći doprinos depresivnosti ima dimenzija perfekcionizma, Zabrinutost oko pogrešaka. Dva prediktora, Zabrinutost oko pogrešaka i Sumnja u vlastitu izvedbu, objašnjavaju 35,8% varijance anksioznosti, a putem šest prediktora objašnjeno je 47,8% varijance stresa, gdje dimenzija perfekcionizma, Zabrinutost oko pogrešaka najviše pridonosi objašnjenju varijance stresa. Sobelovim testom je provjerena značajnost samostišavanja kao medijatora u odnosu perfekcionizma sa depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresom. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na potrebu za dodatnim istraživanjem u kontekstu utjecaja ovih konstrukata na kvalitetu života, posebno u fazi promjena kao što je razdoblje studiranja. |
| Abstract (english) | The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between self-silencing, perfectionism and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in male and female sample. A total number of participants was 200, with 120 female participants and 80 male participants. Their ages ranged from 18 to 28 (M=21,94, SD=1,974). The survey was conducted online, and the participants answered questions from three questionnaires: Silencing the Self Scale (Jack i Dill, 1992), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale ((Frost i sur., 1990) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (Lovibond i Lovibond, 1995). Results on scales that measured depression and stress were mild, and on anxiety they were moderate, while they were above theoretical average on scales that measured perfectionism and self-silencing. Statistically significant differences were observed regarding anxiety and stress, with female participants scoring higher on anxiety and male on stress. The rest of the variables showed no significant gender differences. Significant difference was found considering the dimension Doubt over actions and Externalized Self-perception, where female participants scored higher. Male participants scored higher on the dimension Care as a sacrifice. Using regression analysis, 50,5% of the total variance of depression was explained using four predictors, the most significant being Concern over mistakes. Two predictors, Concern over mistakes and Doubt over actions explained 35,8% of the total variance of anxiety, and six predictors explained 47,8% of the total variance of stress, with dimension Concern over mistakes being the most significant. Sobel test was used to account for the significance of self-silencing as the mediator in the relationship between perfectionism and depression, anxiety and stress. The results indicate a need for additional research in this area, especially how these constructs influence the quality of life during phases of change such as studying at university. |
