Sažetak
EmPirical examination of 706 respondents from eight large Croatian
cities has provided us with the metric characteristics for
measuring the materialist:postmaterialist concept by use of the
method of comparison in pairs. Two scale variants have the internal
consistency reliability of a. .538 (A-scale) and a. .414 (B-scale).
Both scales indicate unidimensional characteristics, and a relative
independence from measures of left:right orientation, religioussecular
orientation and authoritarianism. The analysis of variance
helped check the influence of the education of the respondenfs
father, the respondenfs own education and recent exposure to war
circumstances on the acceptance of postmaterialist values. The
findings support the expectations derived from the scarcity hypothesis,
and confirm the dominant influence of the father's education
on the acceptance of postmaterialist values. Exposure to conditions
of war can lessen the acceptance of postmaterialist values
in less educated examinees if the interactional influence of war
and the exarninees education is tested, while there is no proof of
interactional activity when one tests the exposure to circumstances
of war and the education of the examinees father.
