i Cilj ovog istraživanja i analize jest utvrditi postoji li značajna razlika između samopoštovanja i samopercepcije kao potencijalnog romantičnog partnera između muškaraca i žena višeg i nižeg socioekonomskog statusa. Anketa je provedena nad studentima Fakulteta hrvatskih studija u Zagrebu tijekom ljetnih ispitnih rokova 2020. godine. Prigodni uzorak se sastojao od sto sudionika, od toga 37 % muškaraca i 64% žena, u rasponu od 18 od 30 godina. Uzorak je prigodni. Napravljene su tri regresijske analize. Pronađena je povezanost između samoprocjene faktora karakteristika sa poželjnošću. Samopouzdanje je povezano sa samopercepcijom društvenosti, inteligencije, financijskog stanja i ljepote tijela. Dobiveni rezultati ne potvrđuju postojanje razlika u samopoštovanju i samopercepcije kao romantičnog partnera između muškaraca i žena. Na samoprocjenu poželjnost kao partnera utječe izgled tijela, društvenost i odanost. Na samopoštovanje ne utječe socioekonomski status, niti postoji razlika između muškaraca i žena po distribuciji samopoštovanja, kada je u pitanju socioekonomski status. Istraživanje je napravljeno prema istraživanju u Brazilu, koje je provedeno 2014. godine nad studentima dviju socioekonomskih grupa.i The aim of this research and analysis is to determine whether there is a significant difference between self-esteem and self-perception as a potential romantic partner between men and women of higher and lower socioeconomic status. The survey was conducted on students of the Faculty of Croatian Studies in Zagreb during the summer exam deadlines in 2020. The convenient sample consisted of 100 participants, of which 37% were men and 64% were women, their age ranging from 18 to 30 years old. Three regression analyzes were performed. The association of selfassessment of characteristic factors with desirability was found. Self-confidence is associated with self-perception of sociability, intelligence, financial status and body beauty. The obtained results do not confirm the existence of differences in self-esteem and self-perception as a romantic partner between men and women. Self-esteem as a partner is influenced by body appearance, sociability and loyalty. Self-esteem is not affected by socioeconomic status, nor is there a difference between men and women in the distribution of self-esteem when it comes to socioeconomic status. The research was done according to a study in Brazil, which was conducted in 2014 on students of two socioeconomic groups
