SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES OF POLITICAL ATTITUDES HOLDERS OF VIEW IN CROATIA
Benjamin Čulig
Sažetak
During the June of 2004, a scientific research of the social and cultural identity of the Croatian population (N= 1202) was
carried out. In this paper the author presents social and demographic determinants of the obtained attitude structures, in
other words social and demographic profiles of the obtained political attitudes. Five obtained attitude structures the author took as subordinate variables of the latent type in the unidirectional
analysis of the variance (ANOVA), in which the classificatory variables have been: sex, education, occupational status,
region and political party preferences. Women are more prone to the clerical ethnocentrism, those with uncompleted elementary school education or with completed eight-year elementary school education, predominantly housewives or female pensioners, most frequently
widows who live in the region of Slavonia or Northern Croatia, and who sympathize with the HDZ party. At the same time, they are more prone to the clericalism than to the ethnocentrism.
Techno-cratism is preferred by pensioners with lower education, from the region of Lika, Pokuplje and Banovina although it is very highly preferred in general, among all the respondents.
Socialism is more preferred by women, from Northern Croatia, Lika, Pokuplje and Banovina, who frequently prefer HSLS or SDP political parties. Basic pre-suppositions of the civil society (egalitarianism, NGO-s, tolerance and the like) most frequently advocate
women with uncompleted eight-year elementary school education, from the sphere of independent economic activities who
most frequently live in the region of Lika, Pokuplje and Banovina, than those from Istria and the Croatian Littoral, and
from the Zagreb County. They prefer any political party except the HSP. Europeanism is preferred by the less educated, but also well off independent business people and housewives, but not
those from the Zagreb County.
