Dimensions of Ethnocentrism and National Belonging

Zlatko ŠRAM

Sažetak

The aim of this paper is to determine (1) whether certain
attitudes towards one's own and somebody else's nationality
are in such mutual relations that on a latent level they form
interpretable, relatively independent dimensions of
ethnocentrism, and (2) whether Croats, Hungarians,
Yugoslavs, Serbs and examinees from the Croatian national
corpus who have only declared themselves nationally as
Bunjevci (Ba~ka Croats), significantly differ among
themselves with regard to the degree of internalisation of
certain dimensions of ethnocentrism. The research was
conducted on a sample of general adult population
(N=396) in Subotica. The scale ETNO-1 (26 items) was
constructed and factor analysis applied indicating the
existence of three latent dimensions of ethnocentrism:
national restrictedness, national affective commitment, and
the mentality of national state of emergency. Canonic
discriminant analysis established that members of different
national groups differ among themselves with regard to the
degree of internalisation of certain latent dimensions of
ethnocentrism. The interfactor correlation values are such
that they indicate the possibility of constructing a scale of a
kind of general ethnocentrism.
