Abstract
Svrha ovog istraživanja bila je u okviru Duckittove kognitivno-motivacijske teorije ideologije i predrasuda ispitati odnos osobina ličnosti, izraženosti desničarske autoritarnosti i orijentacije k socijalnoj dominaciji i nekih sociodemografskih karakteristika punoljetnih građana Republike Hrvatske te stavova prema imigrantima u vidu percepcije realistične i simboličke prijetnje. Sudionici istraživanja (N=255) bili su punoljetni građani Republike različitih mjesta prebivališta (prosječna dob bila je 34 godine). Istraživanje je provedeno online, odnosno postavljeno je na Facebook platformu. Kao točke usporedbe stavova ovisno o mjestu prebivališta odabrani su gradovi Split, Zagreb i Slavonski Brod. Korišteni mjerni instrumenti su: Jednočestični upitnik ličnosti (Single Item Measures of Personality-SIMPs; Woods i Hampson, 2005), Skala orijentacije socijalnoj dominaciji (Pratto i sur., 1994, adaptirali Maričić, Franc i Šakić, 2008), hrvatski prijevod Skale autoritarnosti desnog krila autora Boba Altemeyera (1999) te Skala realistične i simboličke prijetnje prevedena na hrvatski jezik (Gonzalez i sur., 2008). Rezultati su pokazali da muški sudionici, oni religiozniji te desno politički orijentirani negativnije percipiraju imigrante od ostalih sudionika. Mjesto prebivališta nije se pokazalo statistički značajnim. Od osobina ličnosti značajnom se pokazala jedino savjesnost; sudionici koji su izraženije savjesnosti negativnije percipiraju imigrante na skali realistične prijetnje. Sudionici izraženije desničarske autoritarnosti te orijentacije k socijalnoj dominaciji negativnije percipiraju imigrante na obje skale. Navedeni prediktori pokazali su najveći doprinos u objašnjavanju stavova prema imigrantima. Čitavim modelom moguće je objasniti 45.8% varijance stavova prema imigrantima.Within the Duckitt's Dual-Process Cognitive-Motivational Theory of Ideology and Prejudice, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between personality traits, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation and some sociodemographic characteristics of adult Croatian citizens with attitudes towards immigrants in form of perception of realistic and symbolic threat. Participants were the adult Croatian citizens (N=255) from various places of residence (average age was 34). The study was conducted online; questionnaire was set up on the Facebook platform. To compare the potential relationship between place of residence and attitudes towards immigrants, cities Split, Zagreb and Slavonski Brod were taken into account. Single Item Measures of Personality-SIMPs (Woods i Hampson, 2005), Social Dominance Orientation Scale (Pratto i sur., 1994, adapted by Maričić, Franc i Šakić, 2008), Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (Altemeyer, 1999) and Realistic and Symbolic Threat Scale (Gonzalez i sur., 2008) were used in this study. The results have shown that male participants, more religious and right-oriented had more negative attitudes towards immigrants. Place of residence was not statistically significant in differing attitudes toowards immigrants. Consciousness turned out to be the only significant personality trait; more conscientious participants perceived immigrants more negative on realistic scale. Participants higher on RWA and SDO perceived immigrants more negatively on both scales and these variables had the biggest contribution in explaining attitudes towards immigrants. With this model it was possible to explain 45.8% of variance of attitudes towards immigrants
