Pathological personality traits of Tumblr users

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je provjeriti imaju li osobe koje preferiraju Tumblr izraženije patološke osobine od osoba koje preferiraju ostale društvene mreže, te koje su osobine izražene kod osoba koje imaju različite obrasce korištenja Tumblra. Osim toga, željelo se ispitati socijalno prihvaćanje korisnice Tumblra koja vodi prikazani blog s rizičnim sadržajima, te istražiti što objašnjava socijalno prihvaćanje te osobe. Podaci su prikupljani online upitnikom. Korišteni su upitnik PID-5 za samoprocjenu ličnosti i procjenu ličnosti autorice prikazanog bloga, ček lista ponašanja na Tumblru, prikaz bloga rizičnog sadržaja i skala socijalnog prihvaćanja autorice prikazanog bloga. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo N=616 sudionika, a N=481 sudionik je odgovorio na sva pitanja. Uzorak čini 534 žena i 82 muškaraca. Najmlađi sudionik imao je 18, a najstariji 61 godinu. Prevladavaju mlađi sudionici, prosječne dobi M=21.3 godina (SD=4.30). Rezultati pokazuju da su osobine otuđenosti i psihoticizma izraženije kod korisnika Tumblra nego kod korisnika ostalih mreža, što je u skladu s percepcijom javnosti o korisnicima Tumblra i pretpostavkom da ljudi preferiraju društvene mreže koje odgovaraju njihovoj ličnosti. Osobe s mračnim obrascem korištenja Tumblra najvišima su procijenile svoj negativni afekt, dezinhibiciju i psihoticizam, što je u skladu s očekivanjima o tome da njihova struktura ličnosti upućuje na granični poremećaj ličnosti. Rezultati upućuju na to da je socijalno prihvaćanje autorice prikazanog bloga nisko, a najniže je za intimnije odnose. Autoricu bloga skloniji su prihvatiti muškarci i manje obrazovane osobe. Više ju prihvaćaju osobe koje su joj slične po tome što i same imaju mračni ili seksualni obrazac ponašanja na Tumblru, i koje su i same visoke na antagonizmu. Prihvaćaju ju ljudi koji ju procjenjuju nižom na antagonizmu i dezinhibiciji.The aim of this study was to examine whether people who prefer Tumblr have higher pathological personality traits than people who prefer other social networks, and to examine which pathological personality traits are dominant in people who have different behavioral patterns on Tumblr. We also wanted to explore social acceptance of the Tumblr user who runs a blog with risky content, and to find which variables explain the social acceptance of that person. Online questionnaire consisted of a display of a risky content blog, PID-5 questionnaire which was used for self-assessment and assessment of the author of the displayed blog, check list about behavior on Tumblr, and social acceptance questionnaire. 616 people participated in the survey, and 481 finished it. There were 534 female and 82 male participants. The youngest participant was 18, and the oldest was 61 years old. Mean age of the sample is M=21.3 years (SD = 4.30). The results show that Tumblr users are higher on deatachment and psychoticism than users of other networks, which is consistent with the way public sees Tumblr users, and with the hypothesis that people prefer social networks which match their personality. It has been found that people with dark behavioral pattern on Tumblr rate their negative affectivity, disinhibition and psychoticism the highest, which suggests that their personality structure is similar to people who suffer from borderline personality disorder. The results suggest that the social acceptance of the author of the displayed blog is low; and the lowest for intimate relationships. The author of the blog is more likely to be accepted by men, by less educated people, by people who have a dark or sexual behavioral pattern on Tumblr, and by people who are high on antagonism. People accept her more if they rank her lower on antagonism and disinhibition

Rules of Attraction: Attraction Assessment of Individuals with Personality Disorders

Ovim istraživanjem željelo se ispitati na koji se način procjenjuje privlačnost osoba koje imaju simptome poremećaja ličnosti te čine li to muškarci drugačije nego žene. Ispitivanje je provedeno na punoljetnim heteroseksualnim osobama. Istraživana je privlačnost osoba sa simptomima histrionskog, graničnog, opsesivno-kompulzivnog, ovisnog i shizotipnog poremećaja ličnosti. Sudionici su pročitali opise osoba s navedenim poremećajima i dali procjene o percepciji sviđanja odgovarajući na pet pitanja o svakoj opisanoj osobi koja se odnose na stupanj sviđanja i spremnosti ulaska u bliske odnose s opisanim osobama. Podatci su prikupljeni online metodom snježne grude. Pokazalo se da muškarci sustavno daju veće procjene na svakom pitanju. Muškarci najprivlačnijima procjenjuju žene s graničnim i ovisnim poremećajem ličnosti. Kao prijateljicu i dugoročnu partnericu najprikladnijima procjenjuju žene s ovisnim poremećajem ličnosti. Najviše su voljni ući u kratkoročnu vezu sa ženama koje imaju granični i histrionski poremećaj ličnosti. Žene najprivlačnijima procjenjuju muškarce s graničnim i ovisnim poremećajem ličnosti i njih najradije biraju za dugoročne partnere. Za prijatelje odabiru muškarce s ovisnim poremećajem ličnosti, a u kratkoročnu su se vezu najspremnije upustiti s muškarcima s graničnim poremećajem ličnosti.The aim of this study was to determine how attractiveness of persons with symptoms of personality disorders is assessed and whether there are differences between men and women. The study was conducted on adult heterosexual individuals. We investigated attractiveness of persons with the symptoms of histrionic, borderline, obsessive-compulsive, dependent and schizotypal personality disorders. Participants were given descriptions of persons with the above stated disorders and estimated their perceived likableness by answering five questions relating to a degree of liking and willingness to enter into close relationships with each person described. Data were collected online using the snowball method. It was found that men systematically assigned higher scores to each question. Women with borderline and dependent personality disorders were assessed by men as most attractive and women with dependent personality disorder as most suitable for friendship or long-term partnership. Men were most willing to enter into a short-term relationship with women with borderline and histrionic personality disorders. Women were most attracted to men with borderline and dependent personality disorders and preferred to choose them for long-term partnerships. Women chose men with dependent personality disorder for friends and were most willing to enter into a short-term relationship with men with borderline personality disorder
