Value Determinants and Social Determinants in the Evaluation of Political Leaders

Sažetak
We obtained a clear hierarchy of evaluating political leaders. On the top of the hierarchy are “ fathers” of the Croatian politics Radić and Starčević. The second from the top are Mesić and Tito who in the same time represent the left political option. The third group are representatives of the right political orientations Tuđman and Maček with Pavelić firmly on the bottom with being the only personality with more negative than positive evaluations. Evaluation of political leaders is correlated with the respondent’s value orientations. Those with more authoritarian, patriotic, national exclusive and gender conservative orientation are more positively evaluating Pavelić and Tuđman. The pattern of positive correlations between evaluating Starčević and Radić and authoritative conservative complex is of weaker intensity although in the same direction. The positive evaluation of Tito and Mesić is negatively correlated with the acceptance of national exclusiveness and, in Tito’s case, with patriotism. Tito and Mesić are the only leaders whose positive evaluation is not positively correlated with authoritarianism and gender conservatism. When introducing the variables of age and education the general picture is not changed. We detected a “socialization effect”, the tendency that the evaluation of the political leaders is influenced by the period of socialization of the respondents. We also discovered a “critical” effect, a tendency that with increase in education there is a tendency of relatively less positive evaluation of political leaders.
