Abstract (croatian)

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je provjeriti mogućnost objašnjenja
raznih oblika građanskog aktivizma na temelju osobina ličnosti
Petofaktorskoga modela, lokusa kontrole i nekih
sociodemografskih varijabli. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 278
aktivnih članova iz 25 organizacija civilnoga društva. Podaci su
prikupljeni BFI upitnikom ličnosti, Rotterovom skalom unutarnjeg
prema izvanjskom mjestu kontrole potkrepljenja, Indeksom
građanskog aktivizma i Skalom aktivističke orijentacije. Rezultati
istraživanja pokazali su kako je ekstraverzija značajan pozitivan
prediktor građanskog aktivizma i konvencionalnog aktivizma.
Otvorenost prema iskustvu pokazala se kao značajan pozitivan
prediktor konvencionalnog aktivizma, dok se savjesnost
pokazala kao značajan negativan prediktor aktivizma visokog
rizika. Lokus kontrole, neuroticizam i ugodnost nisu se pokazali
kao značajni prediktori raznih oblika građanskog aktivizma.
Osobinama ličnosti, lokusom kontrole i sociodemografskim
varijablama objašnjava se relativno malen udio varijance raznih
oblika aktivizma (< 26 %).

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to verify the possibility of predicting
various forms of civil activism based on personality traits,
locus of control, and some sociodemographic variables. In
this study the participants were 278 activists from 25 NGOs.
Data was collected using the Big Five Inventory, Rotter's
Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, Index of Civil
Activism, and Activism Orientation Scale. The results
indicated that Extraversion was a positive predictor of civil
activism and conventional activism. Openness to experience
was a positive predictor of conventional activism, while
consciousness was a negative predictor of high risk activism.
Locus of control, neuroticism and agreeableness were not
significant predictors of any of the various activism forms.
Personality traits, locus of control, and sociodemographic
variables were able to explain a relatively small percentage
of variance (< 26%) in different forms of activism.
