Experience of the primary family, attachment and trust in intimate relationships in adults with experience of parental separation

Avtorica je v magistrskem delu raziskovala povezanost med kvaliteto odnosov v primarni družini s kvaliteto odnosov v odraslih partnerskih odnosih (zaupanje, navezanost) in razlike v zaupanju v partnerskem odnosu, stilu navezanosti v odraslosti in kvaliteto odnosov v primarni družini med posamezniki z izkušnjo ločitve staršev in tistimi, ki te izkušnje nimajo. V teoretičnem delu je opisana osnovna teorija o navezanosti v otroštvu, proces razvoja navezanosti, oblike navezanosti in kaj je za posamezni tip navezanosti značilno. V nadaljevanju se teorija poveže z navezanostjo v odrasli dobi, kakšne so podobnosti in razlike v primerjavi z navezanostjo, ki jo vzpostavimo s skrbnikom. Predstavljeni so tudi notranji delovni modeli in stili navezanosti v partnerskem odnosu. Avtorica opiše tudi vplive primarne družine, proces ločitve in posledice, ki jih ima izkušnja ločitve za posameznika. Na koncu teoretičnega dela se osredotoči še na sam partnerski odnos in koncept zaupanja v partnerskem odnosu. Magistrsko delo ima tudi empiričen del, v katerem je s pomočjo petih različnih vprašalnikov opravljena raziskava. Sodelovalo je 515 udeležencev, od tega je 121 posameznikov z izkušnjo ločitve staršev in 294 takšnih brez izkušnje ločitve staršev. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da obstaja statistično pomembna povezava med kvaliteto odnosov v primarni družini in zaupanjem v partnerskem odnosu. Prav tako smo z raziskavo potrdili, da se z nižanjem kvalitete odnosov v primarni družini viša anksiozna navezanost v odraslih partnerskih odnosih, medtem ko nismo našli povezave z izogibajočo navezanostjo. Raziskava je prav tako potrdila, da obstaja statistično pomembna razlika v kvaliteti odnosov v primarni družini in stilu navezanosti pri posameznikih z izkušnjo ločitve staršev in tistimi, ki te izkušnje nimajo. Razlike v zadovoljstvu v partnerskem odnosu med posamezniki z izkušnjo ločitve staršev in tistimi brez izkušnje ločitve staršev pa nismo dokazali.The author investigated the correlation of the primary family on an individual\u27s romantic relationship and differences in trust in the romantic relationship, attachment style in adoulthood and the quality of relationships within the primary family among individuals who have experienced their parent\u27s divorce and those, who have not. In the theoretical section, the basic theory of attachment in childhood is described, including the process of attachment development, the various forms of attachment, and the characteristics typical for each type. The theory is then connected to attachment in adulthood, discussing the similarities and differences compared to attachment formed with caregivers. Internal working models and attachment styles in romantic relationships are also presented. The author also describes the influences of the primary family, the divorce process, and the consequences of divorce for individuals. Toward the end of the theoretical section, the focus shifts to the romantic relationship itself and the concept of trust in a romantic relationship. The master\u27s thesis also includes an empirical section in which a survey is conducted using five different questionnaires. A total of 515 participants took part, including 121 individuals with experience of their parents\u27 divorce and 294 without such experience. The research results showed a statistically significant correlation between the quality of relationships in the primary family and trust in the romantic relationship. The study also confirmed that a decrease in the quality of relationships in the primary family is associated with an increase in attachment anxiety but found no link with attachment avoidance. The research also confirmed that there is a statistically significant difference in the quality of relationships in the primary family and attachment style in individuals with experience of their parents\u27 divorce and those without such experience. However, differences in satisfaction in the romantic relationship between individuals with and without experience of their parents\u27 divorce were not established
