Sažetak
During the June of 2004, a research on different aspects of the social and cultural identity of the Croatia has been carried out, on a random and representative sample (N=1202). One of most important explanatory sections has been studying political views of the Croatian population. On the basis of preliminary research, appropriate composite scales of the ordinal type have been designed, intended for measuring corresponding political attitudes latent structures.
With the application of factor analysis under the component model using GK criterion for stopping factor extraction, five latent dimensions have been extracted: clericalistic ethnocentrism, technocratism, socialism, europeism and the dimension named as basic prerequisites of civil society (egalitarianism, tolerance and the like).
Multiple regressive analysis has shown that convinced congregations that their beliefs support by the Catholic Church canons are more inclined to clericalist ethnocentrism. We are talking about older population, coming from smaller settlements, that at the same time have poorer education level and estimate themselves as a socially poorer part of the population.
Examinees with a better social status and disinclined to religious beliefs are more inclined to europeism, while older examinees favour technocratism.
Predominantly older female population prefers socialism, being of a lower material status and of poorly favouring religious beliefs.
Fundamental presumptions of the civil society are favoured by those women that incline to religious learning.
