Sažetak
The article reports on an international research project dealing with Croatian and Bosnian-Hercegovian refugees. The results discussed here focus on the degree to which refugees are affected by material, affective, and human relations problems (material deprivation, sense of dependency, feelings of uselessness and hopelessness, conditions of accommodation, sense of isolation, relations with the new environment and other refugees). The results clearly show that refugees suffer not only from the inappropriate conditions of accommodation and material deprivation, but also from strains created by the new social situation they find themselves in. The role of refugee puts people into a humiliating state of dependence, provokes anxiety about the future, and finally leads to various problems in relationships within new environment. The reactions of refugees and displaced persons to the above categories are dependent on their social and other characteristics.
