Summary/Abstract: Pre-election polls carried out in July 1992 on a representative sample of Croatia's voting population, have demonstrated that in addition to the heterogeneous reasons of voter choice one can speak of an also relatively broad presence of rational commitment based on party programmes and attitudes of presidential candidates. The results of a one-way analysis of vari ance between groups of voters for certain parties and presidentiai candidates indicate the conclusion that decisions of people voting for the opposition are more frequently governed by programmes and attitudes than those which have chosen the ruling party and its candidate. Moreover, it has been determined that commitment to more moderate rather than radical political options is based to a higher extent on persons - party representatives.
