Sažetak
Aim of this research is to establish correlations between different attitudes towards behavioural styles in social conflicts and the levels of adolescents' behavioural disorders.
The subjects of the stratified group sample of adolescents (N=1125) were the students of eight vocational schools in Rijeka. Their form tutors were mostly educated in social sciences and humanities and had 10 to 25 years of professional experience. They assessed the overall behaviour of their students using the Form Tutors Questionnaire, a modified form of the Form Tutors/Youth Counsellors Questionnaire (Mirolović Vlah, 2004). Student's attitudes were measured by Scale of attitudes towards behavioural styles in social conflicts (Vlah, 2010a). The data were collected in the school year 2009./2010. in accordance with the Code of Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Children (2003). In the data analysis there was carried out two discriminant analyses. According to the results obtained adolescents placed at the zero level of behavioural disorders reject the winning style and accept the collaboration style in social conflicts. Adolescents classified at the first and second/third level (i.e. one-fourth of all adolescents in vocational schools) reject the collaboration style and accept the winning style. The autor hopes that this thesis provides the basis for more systematic and more successful universal and selective prevention of behavioural disorders since its focus is on a population that is in need for a more systematic implementation of attitudes towards desirable behavioural styles in social conflicts.
