Abstract

Akademska mobilnost životno je iskustvo u kojemu sudjeluje sve više mladih i program koji na različite načine utječe na živote i karakteristike svojih sudionika. Ovim smo istraživanjem željeli ispitati određene karakteristike sudionika akademske mobilnosti te ih usporediti s komparabilnom skupinom sudionika bez iskustva akademske mobilnosti. Ispitane karakteristike odnose se na multikulturalne crte ličnosti, kognitivnu fleksibilnost i aktivno otvoreno mišljenje. Prema pregledanoj literaturi odabrane su se karakteristike pokazale važnima za funkcioniranje u multikulturalnom kontekstu te se u takvom kontekstu ujedno i razvijaju. U konačnom uzorku sudjelovalo je 352 sudionika. Istraživanje je provedeno online putem pri čemu su korišteni Multikulturalni inventar ličnosti (Fietzer i Ponterotto, 2022), preciznije njegove tri subskale (sklonost socijalnoj pravednosti i aktivizmu, sklonost prijateljstvu s pripadnicima različitih kultura, bliskost s osobama različitih seksualnih orijentacija). Nadalje, korišteni su Inventar ličnosti od 10 čestica (Gosling i sur., 2003), Skala kognitivne fleksibilnosti (Martin i Rubin, 1995), Ljestvica mišljenja aktivno otvorenog uma (Stanovich i Toplak, 2023) te upitnik o sociodemografskim podacima. Rezultati su pokazali da sudionici akademske mobilnosti imaju značajno više izražene multikulturalne crte ličnosti koje se očituju u izraženijoj sklonosti socijalnoj pravednosti i aktivizmu te sklonosti i bliskosti prema osobama različitih kultura ili seksualnih orijentacija u odnosu na komparabilnu skupinu sudionika bez iskustva mobilnosti. Između dviju ispitanih skupina nije utvrđena razlika u kognitivnoj fleksibilnosti i aktivnom otvorenom mišljenju. Rezultati su raspravljeni uzimajući u obzir ograničenja istraživanja te njihov doprinos u razumijevanju karakteristika sudionika akademske mobilnosti.

Abstract (english)

Academic mobility is a life experience in which a lot of young people participate and experience that affects the lives and characteristics of its participants in different ways. The aim of the research was to examine certain characteristics of the participants of academic mobility and to compare them with a comparable group of participants without the experience of academic mobility. The examined characteristics refer to multicultural personality traits, cognitive flexibility and actively open-minded thinking. The selected characteristics have been shown to be important for functioning in a multicultural context, but they can also develop in a multicultural context. The survey was conducted with 352 participants in the final sample. Inventory used in this online research was the Multicultural Personality Inventory – 34 (Fietzer and Ponterotto, 2022), more specifically its subscales of tendency for social justice and activism, tendency for friendship with members of different cultures and closeness with people of different sexual orientations. Furthermore, TIPI (Ten-Item Personality Inventory; Gosling et al., 2003), Cognitive flexibility scale (Martin and Rubin, 1995), Actively Open-Minded Thinking Scale (AOT; Stanovich and Toplak, 2023) and a questionnaire on sociodemographic data were also used during the study. The results showed that the participants of academic mobility have significantly more pronounced multicultural personality traits. More precisely, they have a more pronounced tendency for social justice and activism, as well as a tendency and closeness to people of different cultures or sexual orientations compared to young people without experience of academic mobility. Between the comparable group and the participants of academic mobility, no statistically significant difference was found in cognitive flexibility or actively open-minded thinking. The results are discussed taking into account the limitations of the research and their contribution to the understanding of the characteristics of academic mobility participants.
