Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je ispitati odnos korištenja društvenih mreža i tjelesnog samopoimanja u populaciji adolescenata. Ovaj je rad izrađen u okviru projekta “Testiranje 5C modela pozitivnog razvoja mladih: tradicionalno i digitalno mobilno mjerenje (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.) financiranog sredstvima uspostavne potpore Hrvatske zaklade za znanost čiji je nositelj Edukacijsko- rehabilitacijski fakultet. Kako bi se ispitali opisani konstrukti, korištena je 5C skala pozitivnog razvoja, posebice subskala koja ispituje samopoimanje (Geldhof i sur., 2014), te Upitnik problematičnog korištenja društvenih mreža (prilagođeno prema Jovičić-Burić i sur, 2021). Kratka verzija upitnika pozitivnog razvoja mladih (eng. Positive Youth Development Questionnaire – short form, PYD-SF; Geldhof i sur., 2014) koristila se kako bi se ispitale pozitivne razvojne karakteristike mladih, a Skala problematičnog korištenja društvenih mreža (Jovičić Burić i sur., 2021) korištena je kako bi se procijenilo problematično/prekomjerno korištenje društvenih mreža kod adolescenata. Za potrebe istraživanja u sklopu diplomskog rada izdvojen je uzorak od 350 adolescenata od čega je 170 mladića i 165 djevojaka, pri čemu se 15 adolescenata nije željelo izjasniti o spolu. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali raspršenje adolescenata u svim kategorijama rizičnosti korištenja društvenih mreža, a čak jedna četvrtina njih spada u kategoriju rizičnih korisnika. Nadalje, rezultati su pokazali kako se s porastom rizičnosti korištenja društvenih mreža kod učenika i učenica smanjuje zadovoljstvo sa samima sobom. S druge strane, pokazalo se kako samosvijest učenika te prihvaćanje vlastitog tijela i percepcija o dobrom izgledu ne ovise o rizičnosti korištenja društvenih mreža. Mišljenje o vlastitom dobrom izgledu kako adolescenata tako i adolescentica ne ovisi o tome koliko često i koliko rizično koriste društvene mreže. Rezultati su pokazali kako adolescenti koji rizičnije koriste društvene mreže u prosjeku iskazuju niže razine samosvijesti te niže zadovoljstvo s tim kakvi su, dok se kod adolescentica ove korelacije nisu pokazale statistički značajnima.

Abstract (english)

This master’s thesis aims to examine the relationship between the use of social networks and physical self-perception of adolescents. This thesis was written within the project “Testing the 5C model of positive youth development: traditional and digital mobile measurement (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.) funded by the founding support of the Croatian Science Foundation, implemented by the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences. In order to examine the described constructs, the 5C scale of positive development was used, especially the subscale that examines self-perception (Geldhof et al., 2014), and the Questionnaire on problematic use of social networks (adapted according to Jovičić-Burić et al., 2021). A short version of the Positive Youth Development Questionnaire – short form, PYD-SF; Geldhof et al., 2014) was used in order to examine positive developmental characteristics of the youth, and the Scale of problematic use of social networks (Jovičić Burić et al., 2021) was used to assess problematic/excessive use of social networks among adolescents. For research purposes as part of this thesis, a sample of 350 adolescents was selected, comprising 170 young men and 165 young women, while 15 adolescents did not want to declare their gender.
Research results showed the dispersion of adolescents in all risky categories of using social networks, and as much as one fourth of the examinees belong to the category of risky users. Furthermore, the findings showed that increased risky use of social networks among both male and female students results in decreased satisfaction with themselves. On the other hand, it was shown that students' self-awareness and acceptance of their own bodies and perception of good looks do not depend on the riskiness of the use of social networks. The opinion of both male and female adolescents on their own good locks does not depend on the frequency and riskiness of the use of social networks. The results showed that adolescent boys who use social networks in more risky manners on average show lower levels of self-awareness and lower satisfaction with themselves, while for adolescent girls these corelations did not prove to be statistically significant.
