Sažetak
The text discusses the results of the student population evaluation of the importance of particular components of the quality of life. The research has been made on the sample group of 547 students of Zagreb and Rijeka Universities in June 1992 as part of the project „Social and ecological aspects of Development“.
The model based on the interaction between the social and psychological structure of the individual, between his natural and artificial environment, has been applied for the research purposes as well as the model based on the defining of relations between the concepts on the quality of life and social development aspects. The latter is registering 6 basic components of development with related components of quality of life: ecological, military, economic, social, political and cultural components of development/quality of life.
The method applied on six components of quality of life was the self-evaluation of importance (on Likert type scales) of every particular indicator. It has been established that among the examined population there is a high level of agreement in the evaluation that all the components of quality of life are important with emphasis on the greatest importance of military, political and social subjects of quality of life.
The factor analysis has been applied as well confirming the existence of the latent dimensions in the evaluation of the importance of particular components of the quality of life. Seven independent concepts of the quality of life have been defined: ecological concept; concept of material benefit, prestige, individual self-confirmation and professional success; concept of national, racial and religious tolerance; traditionalist concept, concept of orientation towards people; concept of political and national confirmation and activism; concept of the protection of private sphere.
