Sažetak

Tajnovitost se definira kao svjesno i aktivno skrivanje informacija od drugih. Skrivene informacije su tajne, koje su najčešće neutralne ili negativne, no mogu biti i pozitivne. Razlikuju se na raznim dimenzijama: ozbiljnosti, učestalosti, veličini, utjecaju na vlastitu i tuđu
dobrobit te mnogim drugim aspektima. Velik je broj razloga zbog kojih skrivamo informacije, ali najčešće je to zbog održavanja odnosa i ugleda u društvu, no postoji i negativna strana čuvanja tajni: ono može dovesti do smanjene dobrobiti i raznih psihičkih i fizičkih poteškoća. S druge strane, otvaranje drugima često pomaže u kognitivnom rasterećenju te doprinosi bliskosti u odnosu, ali može negativno utjecati i na dobrobit osobe kojoj se tajna otkriva. Otkrivati informacije potencijalno je opasno i stoga nije svejedno kome otkriti tajnu, a ponajviše ovisi o osobinama ličnosti, poput suosjećanja i asertivnosti. Ovaj rad daje pregled dosadašnjih saznanja u području tajnovitosti i čuvanja tajni u
interpersonalnim odnosima, odnosno o razlozima čuvanja tajni te posljedicama za odnos i
pojedinca. Dosadašnja istraživanja uglavnom su koristila korelacijske nacrte i upitničke mjere, dok se u budućnosti očekuje porast u korištenju eksperimentalnih paradigmi.

Abstract

Secrecy is defined as the conscious and active hiding of information from others. Hidden information is secret, which is usually neutral or negative, but can also be positive. They differ in various dimensions: severity, frequency, size, impact on one’s own and others’ well-being, and many other aspects. There are many reasons why we hide information, but most often it is to maintain relationships and reputation in society, but there is also a negative side of keeping secrets: it can lead to reduced well-being and various mental and physical difficulties. On the other hand, opening up to others often helps with cognitive relief and contributes to intimacy in a relationship, but it can also negatively affect the well-being of the person to whom the secret is being revealed. Revealing information is potentially dangerous and therefore it matters to whom it is revealed. It mostly depends on some personality traits, such as compassion and assertiveness. This paper provides an overview of current knowledge in the field of secrecy and keeping secrets in interpersonal relationships, ie the reasons for secrecy and the consequences for the relationship and the individual. Previous research has mainly used correlational designs and questionnaire measures, while in the future an increase in the use of experimental paradigms is expected.
