The goal of the research was to investigate the relatedness between dimensions of object relations and attachment styles in adulthood. 176 undergraduate students from University of Ljubljana filled out the Test of Object Relations (Žvelc, 1998) and Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew and Horowitz, 1991). Research results showed that there exist significant and theoretically consistent correlations between object relations and attachment styles in adulthood. The secure attachment style refers to a low expression of dependence and alienation dimensions of object relations. The preoccupied attachment style is positively correlated to the dependence dimension. The results of the research confirmed the need for differentiating avoidant attachment styles into two distinctive types. As was to be expected, the fearful-avoidant attachment style is positively correlated to the dependence and alienation dimensions. Although individuals with a fearful-avoidant attachment style long for closer relationships, they are afraid of them. On the other hand, individuals with a dismissive-avoidant attachment style deny their need for relationships and appear to be self-sufficient (correlations with the self-absorption and alienation dimensions). The author proposes that in order to measure adult attachment styles, it would be beneficial to also include the reciprocity - self-absorption dimensionTeorija navezanosti in teorija objektnih odnosov raziskujeta medosebne odnose od otroštva preko celotnega življenjskega ciklusa. Cilj raziskave je bil ugotoviti povezanost med dimenzijami objektnih odnosov in stili navezanosti v odraslosti. 176 študentov Univerze v Ljubljani je izpolnilo Test objektnih odnosov (Žvelc, 1998) in Vprašalnik medosebnih odnosov (Bartholomew in Horowitz, 1991). Rezultati raziskave kažejo na pomembne in teoretično konsistentne korelacije med objektnimi odnosi in stili navezanosti v odraslosti. Stil varne navezanosti se povezuje z nizko izraženostjo odvisnosti in odtujenosti. Preokupiran stil se pozitivno povezuje z dimenzijo odvisnost. Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo delitev izogibajoče navezanosti na dva različna stila. V skladu s pričakovanji se plašljivo-izogibajoči stil pozitivno povezuje z dimenzijo odvisnost in odtujenost. Čeprav posamezniki s plašljivo-izogibajočim stilom hrepenijo po tesnejših odnosih, se jih obenem bojijo. Po drugi strani pa posamezniki z odklonilno-izogibajočim stilom zanikajo potrebo po odnosih in delujejo samozadostni (korelacije z dimenzijo zagledanost vase in odtujenost). Avtor predlaga, da bi bilo pri merjenju stilov navezanosti koristno upoštevati še dimenzijo vzajemnost-zagledanost vaseTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo psihologov Slovenije
