Psychological problems of refugees from village and town
Ivan Magdalenić
Abstract
The author compared the answers of 359
refugees placed in host families or in
private accommodation in Zagreb, who
were driven from different kinds of
settlements (villages, small towns, large
towns) under different circumstances (the
left their homes by themselves or in an
organized manner, before or during
immediate war danger, after their
settlements had been occupied). He tries
to discover which of two hypotheses about
how refugees subjectively experience
banishment in different ways depending
on what kind of settlement they lived in
earlier and how they had to leave it, or
that the stress caused by banishment is so
great that it erases all socializatory
differences among refugees. The results
speak more in favour of the latter hypothesis.
