Abstract

Sram, okarakteriziran kao negativna evaluacija samog sebe, jedna je od samosvjesnih emocija koja je prisutna kod svih ljudi te je povezana s uvjerenjem osobe kako nije vrijedna prihvaćanja i pripadanja. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio dobivanje dubljeg uvida u osobno poimanje i doživljaj srama, učestalost i preferencije dijeljenja srama te razlike u strategijama nošenja s obzirom na područje studiranja sudionika. Polustrukturirani dubinski intervjui su provedeni s 21 studentom pomagačkog i nepomagačkog profesionalnog usmjerenja. Analizirani su opisi osobnog doživljaja srama putem četiri komponente: tjelesne, emocionalne, ponašajne i kognitivne. Životna područja uz koja sudionici najčešće vežu sram su obrazovanje, romantični i socijalni odnosi te slika o sebi, pod kojom podrazumijevaju sliku o vlastitom tijelu, tjelesnu težinu i fizički izgled. Sudionici smatraju kako sram utječe na njihov život u dva smjera: pozitivnom (motivirajući učinak) i negativnom (smanjuje samopoštovanje i samopouzdanje). Sudionici se razlikuju po tome koliko često dijele s drugima svoja iskustva srama. Gotovo svi sudionici preferiraju dijeljenje srama s drugima naspram zadržavanja za sebe. U najvećoj mjeri se obraćaju bliskim prijateljima, romantičnim partnerima i članovima uže obitelji. Od strategija nošenja sa sramom, najčešće su korišteni humor, izbjegavanje i/ili potiskivanje te racionaliziranje srama. Nisu vidljive znatne razlike u broju i raznovrsnosti strategija nošenja kod studenata različitog područja studiranja.

Abstract (english)

Shame, characterised as negative evaluation of oneself, is one of the self-conscious emotions that is present among all individuals and is connected to the belief that person is unworthy of acceptance and belonging. The purpose of this study is to gain deeper understanding of personal experience of shame, frequency and preferences in sharing shame, and differences in coping strategies among participants with different study background. In depth interviews were conducted with 21 students of helping and nonhelping professions. Participants’ experiences of shame were described through four components: physical, emotional, behavioural, and cognitive. Participants associated with shame following life domains: education, romantic and social relationships, and selfimage, that includes body image, physical appearance and body weight. Perceived effect of shame was described in both positive (motivational aspect) and negative direction (lowering self-esteem and self-confidence). Participants differed in frequency of sharing their shame with others. Almost all participants preferred sharing shame with close friends, partners and close family members. Coping strategies included using humour, avoidance or repressing shame and rationalization. There were no considerable differences in use of these strategies between students of helping and non-helping professions.
