Abstract
This study involved a sample of 745 male subjects, aged 19 to 27, all citizens of SFRY. The study employed the classic canonic discrimination procedure analyzing the correlation between the system of 34 characteristics of social status and the orientation towards one of the 14 sports disciplines or the lack of one. It was established that in Yugoslav sport, due probably to a too great disfunction of socio-economic mechanisms that have been present in this society in the past 10 years, there are no conceptually recognizable criteria showing a social differentiation. Instead, some social mutations have appeared that have among one part of the population some sports have been built into the life-style of the middle class mentality, whereas some of these mutations have caused a building-in some sports into the co-called mass culture.
