Sažetak
The paper deals with basic theoretical and operational problems in defining the concepts of crisis situations and non-standard behaviour in specific conditions. In his work the author exposes the basic findings reached in the course of the research project »Behaviour of people in extra-ordinary and crisis situations«, which is under way in the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb.
When and if a crisis situation occurs, it is important that the social system is capable of interpreting the new situation within the corresponding framework of the existing value system, thus incorporating into it the newly arisen situation.
Efficient research into crisis and extra-ordinary situations poses special problems. Firstly, since research into totally unforeseeable situations is attempted, the whole effort is turned to finding out the most authentic reconstructions from the participants. Due to the relatively non-standard research situation great attention has to be paid to the creation of the research instrument, such as the questionnaire. Dimensions of the situations covered by a questionnaire must secure a high degree of standardization and the highest possible degree of comparability with already established similar results in other crisis and extra-ordinary situations.
