OBITELJ I POREMEĆAJI SOCIJALNOG KONTEKSTA
THE FAMILY AND DISORDERS OF SOCIAL CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: The disorders of social context as a rule have consequences for the family, especially for those families that are heterogeneous on all bases. National, religious, racial and other features (regional, party membership etc.) in mixed and intermixed marriages have been selected for this research as significant indicators through which these disorders are manifested with lesser or greater consequences. Disorders of social context can appear as a result of many different reasons, one of them being war, the threat of war, direct or indirect war danger or war situations of different intensity. The author examines the explicit and implicit consequences of these states caused by the disorders of social context. For indicators of such disorders the author selected mixed marriages which used to form, by the end of the eighties, over a quarter of all marriages contracted in Croatia per year. Methodologically, mixed marriages as indicators of dlsorders in social context are an extraordinary research innovation, since marriages in general, and especially mixed marriages can be considered as indicators with both positive and negative tendencies (marriage and divorce).
