| Abstract | Dosadašnja istraživanja, koja su proučavala korelate depresije, pronašla su kako su neadekvatni roditeljski odgojni postupci, karakterizirani visokom kontrolom nad djetetom, ravnodušnošću ili zanemarivanjem te različitim oblicima zlostavljanja povezani s razvojem depresivnih simptoma u odrasloj dobi. Nadalje, pokazalo se kako je sigurni stil privrženosti negativno povezan s depresijom, dok su stilovi nesigurne privrženosti pozitivno povezani s depresijom. Naposljetku, pronađeno je kako je konstrukt percipirane socijalne podrške negativno povezan s razvojem depresivnih simptoma. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati razlike u roditeljskim stilovima odgoja, stilu privrženosti te socijalnoj podršci između kliničkog uzorka osoba liječenih od depresije i osoba iz opće populacije, kao i analizirati povezanost navedenih konstrukata s depresijom, te njihovu ulogu u objašnjenju depresije. Klinički uzorak činilo je 60 osoba liječenih od depresije, dok je kontrolni uzorak činilo 60 osoba iz opće populacije. Svi sudionici istraživanja ispunili su: Upitnik sociodemografskih podataka, Upitnik depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa, Upitnik roditeljskih stilova odgoja, Upitnik privrženosti te Skalu socijalne podrške. Klinički i kontrolni uzorak statistički su se značajno razlikovali u varijablama: roditeljskih stilova odgoja, stilu privrženosti te percipiranoj socijalnoj podršci. Klinički uzorak procjenjivao je roditeljske odgojne stilove više zlostavljajućima i kontrolirajućima, u usporedbi s kontrolnim uzorkom. Kontrolni uzorak ostvario je viši rezultat na varijabli sigurnog stila privrženosti, dok je klinički uzorak ostvario viši rezultat na varijablama bojažljivog i zaokupljenog stila privrženosti. Osim toga, kontrolni uzorak ostvario je viši rezultat na varijablama socijalne podrške obitelji te socijalne podrške prijatelja. Nadalje, na kliničkom uzorku utvrđeno je da je viša razina depresivnosti povezana s nižom socijalnom podrškom obitelji i prijatelja te višom razinom zaokupljenog stila privrženosti. Varijabla koja se pokazala značajnim prediktorom u objašnjenju depresije je socijalna podrška obitelji. Odnosno, one osobe koje izvještavaju o manje percipirane socijalne podrške od strane obitelji imaju višu razinu depresivnih simptoma. |
| Abstract (english) | Recent studies, that investigated correlates of depression, found that inadequate parental style, characterized by high control, indifference or abuse, was associated with the development of depressive symptoms in adulthood. Furthermore, it has been shown that secure attachment style was negatively associated with depression, while insecure attachment styles were positively associated with depression. Finally, it was shown that social support was negatively associated with the development of depressive symptoms. The aim of this study was to examine the differences in parental styles, attachment style and perceived social support between clinical and the control sample, as well as to analyze the association between these constructs and depression, and their role in depression. Clinical sample consisted of 60 people treated for depression, while control sample consisted of 60 people from the general population. All participants completed: Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Measure of Parental Style, Relationship Questionnaire and Social Support Scale. Clinical and control sample statistically significantly differed in: parental style, attachment style, and perceived social support. The clinical sample estimated parental style more abusive and controllable, compared to the control sample. The control sample reported a higher score on secure attachment style, while the clinical sample reported a higher score on the variables of fearful and preoccupied attachment style. Besides that, control sample reported a higher score on the variables of perceived social support of family and friends. Also, there was a statistically significant negative association between social support of family and friends, and depression, as well as a significant positive correlation between preoccupied attachment style and depression, analyzed on the clinical sample. The variable that has proved to be a significant predictor of depression is a social support from family. Precisely, people who report less perceived social support from the family also report a higher level of depressive symptoms. |
