摘要：The question of the benefits of self-consciousness in terms of psychological health and well-being is still open for discussion.Older studies uncovered positive as well as negative correlates of self-consciousness that gave rise to the "self-absorption paradox".Newer concepts of rumination and reflection based on the motives for self-consciousness offer new ways of solving this paradox.The study explored the relationship of reflection and rumination with emotional intelligence and self-esteem.High-school students (N = 165,i.e.65 men and 100 women) took part in the study.The average age of the participants was 17.5 years.The results show significant positive correlations between self-esteem,emotional intelligence,and reflection.The correlations between rumination,self-esteem,and emotional intelligence are significant and negative.The research thus showed that the way of thinking about oneself and the motives behind self-consciousness are important for self-esteem and emotional intelligence.Merely thinking about oneself is therefore not necessarily emotionally intelligent.In future research,however,it would probably be better to use tests instead of self-descriptive questionnaires of emotional intelligence.
其他摘要：V psihologiji še vedno ostaja odprto vprašanje koristnosti samozavedanja za psihološko zdravje in blagostanje.Medtem ko so starejše raziskave odkrivale tako negativne kot pozitivne korelatesamozavedanja,pa novejša koncepta ruminacije in refleksije,v katerih je poleg samega samozavedanja zajet tudi motiv za samozavedanje,odpirata nove možnosti za razrešitev "paradoksasamozatopljenosti".V raziskavi smo samozavedanje povezali s samospoštovanjem in emocionalno inteligentnostjo.Sodelovalo je 165 dijakov povprečne starosti 17,5 let (65 moških in 100 žensk).Rezultati kažejo na pomembne pozitivne povezave refleksije ter samospoštovanja in emocionalne inteligentnosti.Ruminacija pa se s samospoštovanjem in emocionalno inteligentnostjo povezuje negativno.Rezultati raziskave tako nakazujejo,da so način razmišljanja in motivi za samozavedanje pomembni tako pri samospoštovanju kot emocionalni inteligentnosti in da ni vsako razmišljanje o samem sebi tudi emocionalno inteligentno.V nadaljnjem raziskovanju odnosa med samozavedanjem in emocionalno inteligentnostjo pa bi bilo namesto samoocenjevalnega vprašalnika mogoče bolje uporabiti katerega od testov emocionalne inteligentnosti.
