Sažetak
For the last several years science of psychology is trying to
find a way to understand the influence of culture on
development, appreciating the processes that happen at the
micro level (psychological processes) and processes that
happen on the macro level (sociological processes). In that
context, the authors emphasize that every culture enables the
development of a child within a certain ecological-cultural
context. With this research we have tried to compare the
contribution of family and peers in decision making in
different aspects of life in two countries: Republic of Croatia
and Bosnia and Herzegovina. For that purpose we have
conducted a research throughout the two groups of
adolescents: group of adolescents from Republic of Croatia
and group of adolescents from Bosnia and Herzegovina,
with the purpose of establishing the influence of family and
peers on decisions that adolescents make in different aspects
of their lives (entertainment, moral values) with respect to
culture differences (Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and
Herzegovina). The obtained results point to the conclusion of
different strengths of influence of parents and peers to
decision making between the adolescents in two cultures,
and they are interpreted within the ecological theory.
