Summary/Abstract: The objective of this research is the empirical analysis and evaluation of intercultural predispositions of the secondary school population in the Republic of Croatia. Data were collected utilizing the questionnaire method. The independent variables represent the selected socio-demographic indicators, whereas the dependent variables represent the selected European values,for which a Likert-type block of scales was constructed. The stratified sample, numbering 2715 examinees, consisted of pupils in all secondary- school grades in 26 schools of the general ("gymnasium"), technical and vocational profiles, situated in 19 towns in the Republic of Croatia. The analysis of the results indicates that the examinees have positive attitudes toward the proposed values, in general. Among the socio-demographic indicators, the variables pertaining to the educational status are the ones which, in a higher degree, distinguish the examinees.
