Abstract

Humor ima veliko vlogo v partnerskih odnosih in je ena bolj iskanih lastnosti, ki jo posamezniki iščejo v svojih partnerjih. Na odnos pa lahko humor vpliva tako koristno, kot tudi škodljivo. Avtorji so opredelili dve skupini humorja, pozitivnega in negativnega. Med pozitivne spadata družabni in samovarovalni humor, ki se pozitivno povezujeta z zadovoljstvom in vztrajnostjo v zvezi ter z indikatorji psihičnega in socialnega blagostanja. Obratne vzorce pa kažeta negativna stila humorja, agresivni in samouničevalni. Namen naše raziskave je bil pokazati povezanost med uporabo štirih tipov humorja in zadovoljstvom v partnerski zvezi. Predvidevali smo, da se pozitivna povezujeta pozitivno, negativna pa negativno. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 841 udeležencev, od tega 662 žensk in 179 moških. Pri zbiranju podatkov smo uporabili Vprašalnik stilov humorja (HSQ) in Lestvico zadovoljstva s partnerskim odnosom (RAS). Izkazalo se je, da samovarovalni humor pozitivno korelira z zadovoljstvom v partnerski zvezi, samouničevalni humor pa negativno. Pri poročenih udeležencih smo našli še korelacijo družabnega humorja z zadovoljstvom v partnerski zvezi. Tisti, ki so bili neporočeni oziroma v partnerski zvezi, pa so pokazali korelacijo s samovarovalnim humorjem. Pričakovano smo v raziskavi ugotovili, da moški statistično pomembno pogosteje uporabljajo vse štiri tipe humorja. Samovarovalni in samouničevalni humor sta dala tudi dobro napovedno vrednost zadovoljstva v partnerski zvezi. Rezultati so dokaj sklepčni s pregledano literaturo, vendar bi za še boljše rezultate v raziskavi morali uporabiti bolj specifično obliko vprašalnika stilov humorja. Tokrat smo namreč merili uporabo humorja na splošno, za raziskovanje povezanosti z zadovoljstvom v partnerski zvezi, pa bi bilo bolje uporabiti verzijo, ki meri prav specifično uporabo humorja v partnerski zvezi.

Secondary title: The Relationship between humor styles and relationship satisfaction
Secondary abstract: Humor plays a big role in romantic relationships and is one of the more sought after personality traits that individuals are searching for in their partners. Humor can have both useful or harmful effect on a relationship. Researchers have defined two groups of humor, positive and negative. Positive include affiliative and self-enhancing humor, which are positively correlated to relationship satisfaction and perseverance, and with indicators of psychological and social well-being. Negative humor styles, aggressive and self-defeating, show reverse patterns. The purpose of our research was to show the connection between the use of four humor styles and relationship satisfaction. We assumed, that positive styles would be positevely correlated and negative styles negatively. Our study involved 841 participants, 662 women and 179 men who were asked to complete an online survey consisting of Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) and Relationship Assessement Scale (RAS). We found positive correlation between relationship satisfaction and self-enhancing humor and negative correlation between relationship satisfaction and self-defeating humor. Furthermore, we found a positive correlation between affiliative humor and relationship satisfaction in married couples. In couples, that were not married, we found positive correlation between self-enhancing humor and relationship satisfaction. As expected, the study found that men significantly more commonly use all four humor styles. Self-enhancing and self-defeating humor also showed good predictive value of relationship satisfaction. The results are fairly consistent with the reviewed literature, but for even better results, a more specific form of Humor Styles Questionnaire should be used. In this study, we measured the use of humor in general and in would be better to use a version that measures specific use of humor in romantic relationships.
