The Structure of Social Attitudes in Croatia

Goran MILAS
Stanko RIHTAR

Sažetak

In this paper the authors attempted to reveal the basic
organizational determinants of social attitudes in Croatia. The
problem was interpreted in two levels, the methodological and
cultural. The survey was conducted at two time points, during the
war in 1992 and after the termination of war operations in
1996/97. In the first part of the research a representative sample
of Croatia was examined (2366), and in the second a sample of
Zagreb highschool students (444). Two measuring instruments
were used representative of social attitudes, Eysenck’s (1971) and
the Key Social Issues Scale (Milas, 1998). Factor analysis indicated
three fundamental ideological dimensions, ethnocentrism,
religiosity and sexsual freedom, consistently appearing regardless
of the sample examined, measuring instruments used and social
context of the research. The differences with regard to theoretical
models and research carried out in Western countries can be
explained by the specific social position of Croatia as a
transitional country affected by war.
