Quality of emotional relationship with parents, subjective well-being, sexual awarness and spirituality

Številni raziskovalci pripisujejo velik pomen kvaliteti odnosa s starši, subjektivnemu blagostanju, spolnemu doţivljanju in duhovnemu vidiku, ki jih povezujejo s kakovostjo posameznikovega ţivljenja. Čeprav številne raziskave poročajo o pomembni povezanosti omenjenih področij, pa v slovenskem in mednarodnem prostoru nismo zasledili raziskave, ki bi zdruţevala vsa. V magistrskem delu nas je zanimalo, kako se kvaliteta čustvenega doţivljanja in odnosa s starši, zadovoljstvo z ţivljenjem, pozitivna in negativna emocionalnost, spolno zavedanje in duhovna vključenost povezujejo med seboj. Obenem smo ţeleli raziskati tudi učinek spola na zgoraj omenjene spremenljivke. V vzorec smo vključili 1047 udeleţencev, od tega 931 udeleţenk ţenskega spola in 116 udeleţencev moškega spola. Starostni razpon udeleţencev se giblje od 16 do 80 let. Kvaliteto čustvenega doţivljanja in odnosa s starši smo ocenili z vprašalnikom emocionalnega starševstva (Ţugman 2012). Za oceno subjektivnega blagostanja smo uporabili lestvico zadovoljstva z življenjem SWLS (Diener, Emmons, Larsen in Griffin 1985) in lestvico pozitivne in negativne emocionalnosti PANAS (Watson, Clark in Tellegen 1988). Oceno spolnega zavedanja smo pridobili s pomočjo lestvice spolnega zavedanja SAS (Snell, Fisher in Miller1991), oceno duhovne vključenosti pa s pomočjo lestvice duhovnega odnosa in vključenosti SAIL (Meezenbroek et al. 2012). Rezultati so pokazali, da se kvaliteta čustvenega doţivljanja in odnosa s starši pomembno pozitivno povezuje z zadovoljstvom z ţivljenjem, pozitivno emocionalnostjo, spolnim zavedanjem ter duhovnim odnosom in vključenostjo. Izstopa pomembna negativna povezanost med negativno emocionalnostjo, kvaliteto čustvenega doţivljanja in odnosa s starši, zadovoljstvom z ţivljenjem, pozitivno emocionalnostjo, spolnim zavedanjem in duhovno vključenostjo. Posamezniki, ki so bili deleţni kvalitetnega čustvenega doţivljanja in odnosa s starši, so s svojim ţivljenjem bolj zadovoljni, občutijo več pozitivnih in manj negativnih čustev, se bolj zavedajo svoje spolnosti ter so bolj duhovno vključeni. Nadalje smo ugotovili, da ne obstajajo pomembne razlike med spoloma pri raziskovanih področjih, z izjemo področja vključevanja v duhovne dejavnosti, kjer moški izraţajo višjo stopnjo vključevanja v duhovne dejavnosti kot ţenske.Numerous researchers place great importance on the quality of relationships with parents, subjective well-being, sexual experiences and spiritual involvement, which they associate with the individual’s quality of life. Although many researches discuss the interconnectivity of the mentioned fields, we have not come across a single research in Slovenia or globally, that would combine them all. In the master\u27s thesis, we were interested in how the quality of emotional experience in relationships with parents, satisfaction with life, positive and negative emotionality, sexual awareness and spiritual involvement are connected. At the same time, we wanted to explore how gender affects the variables mentioned above. The sample included 1047 participants, of which 931 were female and 116 male. Their age ranged from 16 to 80 years. We evaluated the quality of emotional experiences and relationships with parents with the Emotional parenting Questionnaire (Ţugman 2012). To assess subjective welfare, we used the SWLS Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin 1985) and the PANAS Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, and Tellegen 1988). Sexual awarenesswas evaluated using the SAS Sexual Awareness Scale (Snell, Fisher and Miller, 1991) and spiritual integration using the SAIL Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List (Meezenbroek et al. 2012). The results showed,that the individual`s quality of emotional experiences and relationships with parents has an important and positive affect on life satisfaction, positive emotionality, sexual awareness and spiritual involvement. There is also a significant negative connection between negative emotionality, the quality of emotional experiences and relationships with parents, life satisfaction, positive emotionality, sexual awareness and spiritual involvement. Individuals with quality emotional experiencesand relationships with their parents are happier with their lives, they experience more positive and less negative feelings, are more sexually aware and spiritually involved. Furthermore, significant gender differences in the field of research do not exist, with the exception of spiritual involvement, where men express a higher degree of involvement in spiritual activities than women
