POSLJEDICE RATA U PODRUČJU ODABRANIH SOCIJALNIH STAVOVA
THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAR IN A SELECTED AREA OF SOCIAL ATTITUDES

Summary/Abstract: Based on comparison of research findings concerning a representative sample of inhabitants living in peaceful areas in Croatia and a sample of displaced persons, obtained during the most severe period of the war (the transition from 1991 to 1992), the consequences of war were examined within the following three groups of attitudes: attitudes towards the Croatian government and defense policy, attitudes towards Serbs in Croatia and attitudes regarding the future and the development of the overall situation in Croatia (optimism-pessimism). The analyses conducted have shown that the situation of exile did not change the positive orientation of attitudes towards the government and defense policy, that it did not cause defeatism, but strengthened the negative attitude towards Serbs in Croatia. Canon ic correlation analysis between different problems concerning the status of displaced persons and selected social attitudes, conducted on the sample of displaced persons, has demonstrated that the variability of attitudes is not determined by the problems mentioned, but that it should be attributed to other factors.
