1. Cross-cultural data on romantic love and mate preferences from 117,293 participants across 175 countriesMarta Kowal, Tina Kavčič, Maja Zupančič, Nejc Plohl, Bojan Musil, 2025, other scientific articles Abstract: Psychological studies on close relationships have often overlooked cultural diversity, dynamic processes, and potentially universal principles that shape intimate partnerships. To address the limited generalizability of previous research and advance our understanding of romantic love experiences, mate preferences, and physical attractiveness, we conducted a large-scale cross-cultural survey study on these topics. A total of 404 researchers collected data in 45 languages from April to August 2021, involving 117,293 participants from 175 countries. Aside from standard demographic questions, the survey included valuable information on variables relevant to romantic relationships: intimate, passionate, and committed love within romantic relationships, physical-attractiveness enhancing behaviors, gender equality endorsement, collectivistic attitudes, personal history of pathogenic diseases, relationship quality, jealousy, personal involvement in sexual and/or emotional infidelity, relational mobility, mate preferences, and acceptance of sugar relationships. The resulting dataset provides a rich resource for investigating patterns within, and associations across, a broad range of variables relevant to romantic relationships, with extensive opportunities to analyze individual experiences worldwide.

2. Ocenjevanje temperamenta v zgodnjem mladostništvu : psihometrične značilnosti vprašalnika EATQ-R-SFEva Kranjec, Maja Zupančič, Gregor Sočan, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Namen raziskave je preveriti psihometrične značilnosti kratke različice revidiranega Vprašalnika temperamenta za zgodnje mladostnike – EATQ-RSF. Na vzorcu 238 slovenskih zgodnjih mladostnikov smo preverili faktorsko strukturo, zanesljivost ter razlike med spoloma v ravni izraznosti temperamentnih potez. Analiza podatkov je v splošnem pokazala zadovoljivo prileganje podatkov obravnavanim modelom, čeprav indeksi prileganja za nekatere podlestvice niso dosegli priporočenih vrednosti. Skladnost nadrednih lestvic je zadovoljiva. Mladostnice imajo bolj izražene poteze zadovoljstvo ob šibkih dražljajih, strah in povezovanje z drugimi ter dimenzijo pozitivno čustvovanje kot mladostniki. EATQ-R-SF je ustrezna za uporabo v raziskovanju, čeprav rezultati nakazujejo potrebo po vsebinskem in psihometričnem izboljšanju pripomočka.

4. COVID-19 and social distancing : ǂa ǂcross-cultural study of interpersonal distance preferences and touch behaviors before and during the pandemicIlona Croy, Andreja Avsec, Tina Kavčič, Bojan Musil, Nejc Plohl, Gaja Zager Kocjan, Maja Zupančič, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the introduction of unprecedented safety measures, one of them being physical distancing recommendations. Here, we assessed whether the pandemic has led to long-term effects on two important physical distancing aspects, namely interpersonal distance preferences and interpersonal touch behaviors. We analyzed nearly 14,000 individual cases from two large, cross-cultural surveys – the first conducted 2 years prior to the pandemic and the second during a relatively stable period of a decreased infection rate in May-June 2021. Preferred interpersonal distances increased by 54% globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was observable across all types of relationships, all countries, and was more pronounced in individuals with higher self-reported vulnerability to diseases. Unexpectedly, participants reported a higher incidence of interpersonal touch behaviors during than before the pandemic. We discuss our results in the context of prosocial and self-protection motivations that potentially promote different social behaviors.

5. Modernization, collectivism, and gender equality predict love experiences in 45 countriesPiotr Sorokowski, Marina Horvat, Tina Kavčič, Bojan Musil, Maja Zupančič, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Recent cross-cultural and neuro-hormonal investigations have suggested that love is a near universal phenomenon that has a biological background. Therefore, the remaining important question is not whether love exists worldwide but which cultural, social, or environmental factors influence experiences and expressions of love. In the present study, we explored whether countries’ modernization indexes are related to love experiences measured by three subscales (passion, intimacy, commitment) of the Triangular Love Scale. Analyzing data from 9474 individuals from 45 countries, we tested for relationships with country-level predictors, namely, modernization proxies (i.e., Human Development Index, World Modernization Index, Gender Inequality Index), collectivism, and average annual temperatures. We found that mean levels of love (especially intimacy) were higher in countries with higher modernization proxies, collectivism, and average annual temperatures. In conclusion, our results grant some support to the hypothesis that modernization processes might influence love experiences.

6. Popoldanske plesne dejavnosti otrok in mladostnikov v mestu KrškoMaja Zupančič, 2018, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Diplomsko delo z naslovom Popoldanske plesne dejavnosti otrok in mladostnikov v mestu Krško je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu smo opisali ples, kako je ples pomemben za otroka. Na kratko smo opisali zvrsti plesa, ki se izvajajo v mestu Krško (balet, jazz, sodobni ples, step, orientalski ples, hip-hop, standardni plesi in latinskoameriški plesi). Na koncu teoretičnega dela pa še, kakšno vlogo ima plesni trener/učitelj pri poučevanju plesa otrok in mladostnikov. V empiričnem delu smo opravili intervjuje z desetimi plesnimi trenerji/učitelji, ki poučujejo ples v mestu Krško. Ugotovili smo, koliko otrok in mladostnikov obiskuje različne zvrsti plesa, kako potekajo treningi in kakšen način dela ima posamezni učitelj/trener plesa.
Keywords: ples, zvrsti plesa, trener/učitelj plesa, trening, modeli vzgoje.

7. KOMUNIKACIJSKO UDOBJE V DOMU LIPAMaja Zupančič, 2011, undergraduate thesis Abstract: V diplomski nalogi sem teoreticno opredelila osnovne pojme vezane na
komuniciranje, navedla sem posebnosti komuniciranja v zdravstveni negi, opisala
pojem komunikacijsko udobje ter osnovne pojme teorije izbire.
Vprašanja raziskave so vezana na uporabo povezujocih in pogubnih navad v
komunikaciji, kot jih opredeljuje teorija izbire. Zaposleni Doma Lipa so ocenjevali
komunikacijo z vodjo, sodelavci in stanovalci.
Z raziskavo sem želela ugotoviti:
• ali vodja v komunikaciji s podrejenimi uporablja grožnje in kaznovanje,
• ali vodja v komunikaciji s sodelavci uporablja kritiko,
• ali se vodja v komunikaciji s podrejenimi poslužuje poslušanja in
dogovarjanja,
• ali se zaposleni pritožujejo nad sodelavci,
• ali so zaposleni kriticni do sodelavcev,
• ali sodelavci v vsakodnevni komunikaciji uporabljajo dogovarjanje in
poslušanje,
• ali se stanovalci doma pritožujejo nad zaposlenimi in jih kritizirajo,
• ali je v vsakodnevnem odnosu zaposlenih s stanovalci prisotna
terapevtska komunikacija, ki sloni na spoštovanju in zaupanju.
Iz podatkov dobljenih z raziskavo ugotavljam, da vodja v komunikaciji s sodelavci
ne uporablja groženj in kaznovanja, obcasno se pritožuje ali nerga. Najveckrat se
poslužuje dogovarjanja, zaposlenim zaupa in jih podpira. Zaposleni v komunikaciji s
sodelavci uporabljajo nerganje, dogovarjanje in poslušanje. Glede na mnenje
zaposlenih, je med njimi in stanovalci prisotna terapevtska komunikacija, spoštljiv in
zaupljiv odnos.

8. GIBALNA DEJAVNOST KOT SESTAVNI DEL RAZVOJNIH POTREB OTROKMaja Zupančič, 2011, undergraduate thesis Abstract: V diplomskem delu z naslovom Gibalna dejavnost kot sestavni del razvojnih potreb otroka smo želeli na podlagi analiziranih podatkov in virov ugotoviti, kako gibanje vpliva na celostni razvoj otroka.
Raziskovalni izziv je predstavljalo dejstvo, da je gibalni razvoj tesno povezan s kognitivnim, čustvenim in socialnim razvojem otroka. Prav tako pozitivno vpliva na gibalni razvoj spodbudno družinsko okolje, ki vpliva na oblikovanje otrokove osebnosti in njegovih vrednot.
Keywords: gibalni razvoj, kognitivni razvoj, čustveni razvoj, socialni razvoj, gibalne aktivnosti, vrtec, družina, starši
