Sažetak
This round table focuses on polyamorous relationships, a romantic configuration in which partners consensually enter and maintain non-dyadic committed, intimate and sexual relations. Round table will begin with a brief overview of pop-cultural references and recent media coverage. Next, definitions of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory will be provided, together with possible theoretical perspectives. Prevalence, sociodemographic/psychosocial correlates and relationship characteristics will be described according to recent research studies, followed by a brief description of research shortcomings, methodological issues and potential biases. Further, we will discuss implications of polyamory on several key relationship processes, such as jealousy, trust and partner violence. After describing conceptual and pragmatic differences between monogamous and prototypical polyamorous relationships, several social aspects of polyamorous relationship, including the question of stigma, will be addressed. Finally, we hope to discuss polyamorous relationships in the sociocultural context of a post-communist country with a religious component embedded in its values, thus reproducing restrictive regulation of sexuality and partnerships (#Croatia).
