Sažetak
The paper presents results of the evaluation of importance of particular life objectives. Relations between different views of the expressions quality of life and various life goals have been analyzed. The research was carried out on a random representative sample of student population (N=547) at Zagreb and Rijeka universities in June 1992.
The method of self-evaluating significance (by Likert-type scale) of each particular item in the corpus for measurement of conceptual components of quality of life and of each item for measurement of various life goals.
The factor analysis under componential model help us to define latent dimensions of both of the studied spaces. An analysis of the latent space of quality of life resulted in establishing seven characteristic views of the term. The same procedure in the space of significance of various life goals brought about five concepts.
On the basis of the differentiation of the extracted latent dimensions of the two spaces an attempt was made to analyze canonical relations in order to figure out the correlations between particular concepts. Two significant relations have been identified by the same procedure. There was a correlation between the socio-economic concept of quality of life and the concept of individual affirmation by means of material well-being and social prestige as life goals. Another identified correlation was that between the traditionalist concept of quality of life and the affirmation of personal integrity as a life goal, whereby the harmonious family and ideas opposite to the concept of selfsacrifice as life goals where only partly significant.
