Abstract

V magistrskem delu raziskujem svet zaljubljenih mladostnic, v katerega umestim tudi psihosocialne stiske, ki potencialno lahko spremljajo izkušnje zaljubljenosti. Tako v teoretičnem delu opredelim obdobje mladostništva in njegove značilnosti, predstavim različne definicije o ljubezni in zaljubljenosti ter se dotaknem dejavnikov, ki utegnejo vplivati na izkušnje zaljubljenosti pri mladostnicah, kot so: družina, vrstniki, šola in dijaški dom, mediji ter družbeni kontekst. Nadalje podrobneje predstavim sam potek zaljubljanja, njegovo dinamiko in funkcijo; slednjo povežem z izgradnjo samopodobe in identitete pri mladostnicah. V nadaljevanju se dotaknem še psihosocialnih stisk, ki lahko spremljajo samo zaljubljenost, in vloge odraslih oseb pri tem (posebej vloge staršev in vzgojiteljev v dijaških domovih). V empiričnem delu predstavim svoje kvalitativno raziskovanje s pomočjo intervjujev in izvedbo eksperimenta. Vzorec je zajemal sedemnajst mladostnic, starih petnajst oziroma šestnajst let. Z vsako od njih sem izvedla intervju, dvanajst pa jih je sodelovalo tudi pri eksperimentu, v katerem sem preučevala pomen obiskovanja pogovornih srečanj na oblikovanje in spreminjanje predstav mladostnic o zaljubljenosti in ljubezni. Z analizo intervjujev sem ugotovila, da so izkušnje zaljubljenih mladostnic precej individualne, vendar se hkrati stikajo v nekaterih elementih in dinamiki. Predstave mladostnic o ljubezni in zaljubljenosti so se v obdobju devetih mesecev pri večini vsaj malenkost spremenile, vendar pa tega ne moremo pripisati zgolj obiskovanju pogovornih srečanj, temveč tudi pomenu lastnih izkušenj mladostnic. Dekleta so skupno poročala o precej raznovrstnih stiskah, ki jih povezujejo z zaljubljenostjo, vendar te pri njih običajno niso bile močno izražene. Večina odraslim osebam pripisuje določeno vlogo pri najstniški zaljubljenosti in si želi zaupati ter se pogovarjati o tej temi z vsaj eno odraslo osebo. Pogovorna srečanja, kakršna sem izvedla sama, bi tako lahko pomembno doprinesla k mladostniškim izkušnjam zaljubljenosti in hkrati omogočila grajenje vezi med mladostnicami in odraslimi osebami, ki bi se znašle v vlogi izvajalcev.

Secondary title: Infatuation and psychosocial distress of adolescent girls
Secondary abstract: This Master’s thesis researches infatuation in adolescent girls, including psychosocial distress, which may potentially occur during the experience of infatuation. In the theoretical part, I define the period of adolescence and its characteristics, I present different definitions of love and infatuation, and I touch upon the factors that may impact the experience of infatuation in adolescent girls, such as family, peers, school and student dormitory, the media and the social context. Furthermore, I present the development of infatuation in more detail, including its dynamics and function, connecting the latter with the building of self-image and identity in female adolescents. Additionally, I touch upon the psychosocial distress which may accompany infatuation, as well as the role of the adults in the matter (especially the roles of parents and educators in student dormitories). In the empirical part, I present qualitative research based on interviews and an experiment. Its sample included seventeen female adolescents, aged fifteen to sixteen, with whom I conducted the interviews. Twelve of them participated in the experiment examining the importance of attending conversational sessions for shaping and changing adolescents’ notions of infatuation and love. Through the analysis of the interviews, I discovered that the experiences of infatuated female adolescents are mainly individual, while they coincide in some elements and dynamics. Overall, the adolescents’ perceptions of love and infatuation changed at least slightly in nine months. However, this cannot be attributed only to attending the conversational sessions but also to the impact of their own experiences. The girls collectively reported quite a variety of distress associated with falling in love, although it was not usually expressed strongly. Most of them attributed a certain role in adolescent infatuation to adults, wanting to trust and discuss the topic with at least one adult figure. Thus, conversational sessions that I carried out might substantially contribute to the adolescent experience of infatuation and at the same time create an opportunity for building bonds between adolescents and adults who would find themselves in the role of educators.
