Abstract (croatian)

Osnovni cilj rada jest analiza autoritarnosti u hrvatskom
društvu na temelju rezultata EVS-a. U teorijskom smislu
polazimo od koncepta Boba Altemeyera, koji autoritarnost
određuje kao kombinaciju triju stavovskih klastera –
autoritarne podčinjenosti, agresivnosti i konvencionalizma
(Altemeyer, 1988). Analiza je podijeljena u dva dijela. U
prvom dijelu zasebno analiziramo svaku od osam čestica
koje sadržajno obuhvaćaju autoritarnost u ovom radu, kroz
usporedbu distribucije postotaka za sve tri točke mjerenja i
analizu osnovnih sociodemografskih karakteristika za 2018.
godinu. U drugom dijelu od tih čestica konstruiramo indeks
autoritarnosti i analiziramo ga kao kriterijsku varijablu s
obzirom na tri odabrana prediktorska sklopa
(sociodemografske karakteristike, religioznost i povjerenje) u
sve tri točke mjerenja. Na osnovnoj razini, rezultati, između
ostalog, pokazuju povećanje broja ispitanika koji smatraju
da je dobro imati moćnoga vođu i onih koji smatraju da bi
bilo dobro kada bi u bliskoj budućnosti u hrvatskom društvu
došlo do većega poštivanja autoriteta. Daljnja analiza
pokazuje da su najvažniji prediktori autoritarnosti u
hrvatskom društvu niži stupanj obrazovanja, važnost Boga u
životu i povjerenje u Crkvu.

Abstract (english)

The primary goal of this paper is the analysis of
authoritarianism in Croatian society which is based on the
results from the European Values Study. In a theoretical
sense, we are following Bob Altemeyer’s concept of
authoritarianism, which is defined as the combination of
three attitudinal clusters – authoritarian submission,
authoritarian aggression and conventionalism (Altemeyer,
1988). The analysis is divided into two parts. In the first part
we analyse separately eight particles which comprise our
authoritarian construct with the basic socio-demographic
characteristics for the year 2018. In the second part we use
the authoritarianism index as criterion for the three-predictor
model (socio-demographic characteristics, religiosity and
trust). On the basic level, the results show an increase of
those who consider that having a strong leader is good and
that it would be a good thing to have greater respect for
authority in the near future. Further analysis shows that a
lower level of education, the importance of God in life, and
trust in the Church are the most important predictors for
authoritarianism in Croatian society.
