AND SELF-CONCEPT AMONG ADOLESCENTS

Abstract. The problem which has been studied is the relation of
the emotional conflicts and self-concept among adolescents. An emotional
conflict is a simultaneous appearance of the intensive opposite emotions.
There are four kinds of conflicts in R. Plutchik's theory:
1) reproduction/protection conflict
2) aggression/ protection conflict
3) rejection/incorporation conflict
4) orientation/research conflict
We are interested in persons with intensive emotional conflicts who
evaluated themselves differently on different aspect of self-concept according
to G. Opačić (general competence, body image, physical abilities, social
acceptance, general self-esteem, intellectual self, emotionalism/rationalism,
moral negativism, misanthropy, and externalization) in comparison to persons
without conflicts.
It was shown that the persons with emotional conflicts have lower self/esteem,
lower physical attractiveness while misanthropy and externalization, as
defensive maneuvers, are more intensive.
Key words: emotional conflict, self-concept, adolescence
POVEZANOST EMOCIONALNIH KONFLIKATA
I SELF-KONCEPTA ADOLESCENATA
Problem kojim smo se bavili u ovom istraživanju je povezanost emocionalnih
konflikata i self-koncepta adolescenata. Emocionalni konflikt je istovremeno
javljanje suprotnih emocija visokog intenziteta. U teoriji Roberta Plučika
ima 4 vrste konflikata:
1) deprivacija-reprodukcija
2) agresija-zaštita
3) orijentacija-istraživanje
4) inkorporacija-odbacivanje
Interesovalo nas je da li osobe sa izraženim emocionalnim konfliktom
drugačije procenjuju sebe na skalama self-koncepta (globalna kompetentnost,
telesna privlačnost, fizički self, socijalna evaluacija, globalno samopoštovanje,
intelektualni self, emocionalnost-racionalnost, mizantropija, eksternalnost,
moralni negativizam) Gorana Opačića u odnosu na osobe bez konflikta. Pokazalo
se da osobe sa konfliktom imaju niže samopoštovanje, nižu procenu telesne
privlačnosti, a od odbrambenih manevara izraženiju mizantropiju i eksternalnost.
Ključne reči: self koncept, emocionalni konflikt, adolescencija.
