Cilj je ovog istraživanja ispitati doprinos varijabli obiteljskog i varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta u objašnjenju samopoštovanja tijekom rane, srednje i kasne adolescencije. U istraživanju je ...sudjelovalo 344 osnovnoškolaca, 370 srednjoškolaca te 357 studenata. Prosječna dob sudionika u skupini mlađih adolescenata iznosi M = 12.6 (SD = 0.63), u skupini srednjih adolescenata M = 16.5 (SD = 0.57), a u skupini starijih adolescenata M = 20.6 (SD = 1.17). Primijenjeni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik općih podataka, Upitnik roditeljskog prihvaćanja-odbacivanja, Skala obiteljske prilagodljivosti i kohezivnosti, Upitnik kvalitete prijateljstva, Upitnik privrženosti vršnjacima – revidirana verzija i Rosenbergova skala za mjerenje samopoštovanja. Rezultati provedenih hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza upućuju na to da set prediktorskih varijabli objašnjava 38% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod mlađih, 21% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod srednjih i 27% ukupne varijance samopoštovanja kod starijih adolescenata. Kada su u pitanju obiteljske varijable, u skupini mlađih i srednjih adolescenata značajni su prediktori samopoštovanja varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i obiteljska prilagodljivost i kohezivnost, a kod starijih adolescenata varijable roditeljsko prihvaćanje-odbacivanje od strane majke i oca. Od varijabli vršnjačkog konteksta kao značajan prediktor samopoštovanja u sve tri skupine adolescenata izdvojila se kvaliteta privrženosti vršnjacima. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na to da je pri razmatranju obiteljskih i vršnjačkih odrednica samopoštovanja kod adolescenata nužno uzeti u obzir različite oblike obiteljskih i vršnjačkih interakcija, ali i uvažavati razvojne specifičnosti pojedinih razdoblja adolescencije.
The aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of family, and peers context variables in explaining the variance of self-esteem during early, middle, and late adolescence. The research sample consisted of 344 elementary school students, 370 high school students and 357 college students. The average age of participants was M = 12.6 (SD = 0.63) for young adolescents, M = 16.5 (SD = 0.57) for middle adolescents, and M = 20.6 (SD = 1.17) for older adolescents. The following instruments were applied: General Data Questionnaire, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, Friendship Quality Questionnaire, Inventory of Peer Attachment-Revised and Self-esteem Scale. The results of hierarchical analyses indicate that set of predictor variables account for 38% of total variance of self-esteem in young, 21% of total variance of self-esteem in middle and 27% of total variance of self-esteem in older adolescents. With respect to family context variables, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by parental acceptance-rejection of mothers and family cohesion and adaptability in young and middle adolescents, and by perceived parental acceptance-rejection of both (mothers and fathers) in older adolescents. Considering peer context variables, in all three adolescent groups, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by perceived quality of attachment with peers. The results of this study indicate the necessity of taking into account the different forms of family and peers interactions, as well as the developmental specificities of a particular period of adolescence when considering family and peers determinants of self-esteem in adolescents.
The aim of this paper was to establish the total and individual contributions of personality traits of the adolescents (Big five personality traits) and family context variables (perception of ...parental behaviour of mothers and fathers, and perception of family adaptability and cohesion) in explaining the variance of satisfaction with life in adolescents. The research sample consisted of 425 participants (200 female and 225 male). The average age of participants was M= 18 (SD=0.72). The data were collected using group work method and the following instruments were applied: Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, Big Five Personality Factors Self-Report Scale and Global Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results of hierarchical regression analyses indicate that the described set of predictor variables accounts for 53% of total variance of satisfaction with life in girls and 49% of total variance of satisfaction with life in boys. It was found that variables of family context and adolescents' personality traits contribute significantly in explaining the variance of satisfaction with life for both girls and boys. Analyses conducted separately for the subsample of girls and boys have provided a better insight into results and showed that patterns of these relations are somewhat different for girls and boys, namely, that predictors of satisfaction with life are not the same for these two groups. The results of this study clearly indicate the importance of personality traits of adolescents, as well as perception of positive interactions with parents as important protective factors, which effect the satisfaction with life in adolescents of both genders.

The aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of adolescents’ personal characteristics, family context variables and peer context variables in explaining the variance of self-esteem during ...early, middle and late adolescence.The research sample consisted of 344 students (7th and 8th graders) from six elementary schools, 370 students (2nd and 3rdgraders) from five high schools and 357 college students (2nd and 3rd graders) from five higher education institutions. The average age of participants was M=12.6 (SD= .63) for elementary school students, M=16.5 (SD= .57) for high school students and M=20.6 (SD=1.17) for college students. The following instruments were applied: Socio-demographic Features Questionnaire, Big Five Questionnaire, Big Five Questionnaire for Children, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, Friendship Quality Questionnaire, Inventory of Peer Attachment-Revised and Self-esteem Scale. The results of hierarchical analyses indicate that decribed set of predictor variables account for 48% of total variance of self-esteem in young adolescents, 41% of total variance of self-esteem in middle adolescents and 46% of total variance of self-esteem in older adolescents. Considering personality and peer context variables, in all three adolescent groups, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by emotional stability/emotional instability and energy, and by perceived quality of attachment with peers, respectively. With respect to family context variables, the self-esteem was significantly predicted by perceived family cohesion and adaptability in young adolescents, by perceived parental acceptance-rejection of mothers in middle adolescents and by perceived parental acceptance-rejection of both (mothers and fathers) in older adolescents. The results of this study clearly indicate the necessity of taking into account the different forms of family and peer interactions, as well as the developmental specificities of particular period of adolescence, when considering personal and environmental determinants of self-esteem in adolescents.

The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between the five global factors and 16 dimensions of Cattell’s personality model and fluid and crystallized intelligence. A total of 105 third ...graders (45.7% males) of three high schools participated in the research. Fluid intelligence was measured by Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices and crystallized intelligence was measured by the Mill Hill Vocabulary Scale. Personality traits were measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Anxiety is correlated neither with fluid nor with crystallized intelligence. Extraversion and Self-Control are negatively correlated with fluid intelligence whereas Tough-Mindedness is positively correlated with it. Independence is positively correlated with crystallized intelligence and Tough-Mindedness is negatively correlated with it. Regression analysis reveals that all broad personality factors, except anxiety, are significant predictors of fluid intelligence. When combined together, these factors account for 25% of the variance of fluid intelligence scores. The regression model with crystallized intelligence as a criterion variable is not statistically significant. The study results are consistent with the
Chamorro-Premuzic and Furnham’s (2005) two-level conceptual framework. Although using a different taxonomy of personality, the results are in accordance with the model’s presuppositions.
The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of predicting life satisfaction with regard to knowledge of demographic variables, personality characteristics, loneliness and self-assessments ...of health, and to examine the differences in the assessment of life satisfaction according to sex, age, place of residence and level of education. The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of predicting life satisfaction. The sample included 209 respondents, of which 108 respondents live in the Cantonal public institution “Gerontology Center” Sarajevo (60 women and 48 men) and 101 in their own homes (70 women and 31 men). Of the total sample, women comprise 62.2% (N = 130), and men 37.8% (N = 79). The average age of the total sample was 75.59 (SD = 7.62). Data was collected individually and the following instruments were applied: Questionnaire of socio-demographic data, PFM - Scale of self-assessment for the Big Five, The short version of UCLA’s loneliness scale, SF-36 - Questionnaire of health status, Life satisfaction scale. The research results show that the proposed model can explain 68.6% variance of the criteria, with the most significant predictors being religiousness, personality dimensions: neuroticism and openness, loneliness and general self-rated health. Other socio-demographic variables are associated with life satisfaction through mediation variables: the amount of revenue through openness to experience, age over the general self-assessment of health and education through the mediating variables neuroticism. Differences are also found in life satisfaction within the senior age with regard to gender, age, place of residence and level of education. Men, people of younger age groups, people living in their own household and educated people show a statistically significant higher level of life satisfaction.
Cilj je rada ispitati ukupan i zasebne doprinose osobina ličnosti adolescenata (velikih pet osobina ličnosti) i varijabli obiteljskog konteksta (percepcija roditeljskog ponašanja majki i očeva te ...percepcija obiteljske prilagodljivosti i kohezivnosti) u objašnjenju zadovoljstva životom kod adolescenata. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 425 sudionika (200 djevojaka i 225 mladića). Prosječna dob sudionika je M=18 (SD=0.72). Podaci su prikupljeni metodom grupnog rada, a primijenjeni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik za mjerenje roditeljskog ponašanja, Skala obiteljske prilagodljivosti i kohezivnosti, Skala samoprocjene za mjerenje velikih pet faktora ličnosti i Skala općeg zadovoljstva životom. Rezultati istraživanja, primjenom hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza, pokazuju da se opisanim setom prediktorskih varijabli može objasniti 53% ukupne varijance zadovoljstva životom kod djevojaka te 49% ukupne varijance zadovoljstva životom kod mladića. Pri tome je utvrđeno da i varijable obiteljskog konteksta i osobine ličnosti adolescenata značajno pridonose objašnjenju varijance zadovoljstva životom u objema skupinama adolescenata. Analize provedene posebno za poduzorak djevojaka i poduzorak mladića omogućile su bolji uvid u dobivene rezultate i pokazale da se obrasci ovih odnosa donekle razlikuju kod djevojaka i mladića, odnosno da prediktori zadovoljstva životom nisu isti za jedne i za druge. Rezultati ovog istraživanja jasno upućuju na značaj osobina ličnosti adolescenata, ali i percepcije pozitivnih interakcija sa roditeljima, kao važnih protektivnih faktora koji djeluju na ukupan osjećaj zadovoljstva životom kod adolescenata obaju spolova.
