Abstract
Na uzorku od 116 studenata 1. i 2. godine Studija socijalnog rada (od čega 93% žena) ljestvicom Bogardusovog tipa ispitana je distanca prema 29 nacija te stupanj dosadašnjeg osobnog poznavanja bar jednog njihovog pripadnika. Posebno su analizirane neke determinante distanci prema Bošnjacima (Muslimanima) i Srbima, koji su u ukupnom rangu zauzeli 18. odnosno 28. mjesto po prihvaćenosti. Utvrđena je visoka korelacija distance prema te dvije nacije s “ukupnom osobnom distancom” (srednjom vrijednošću distanci pojedinog ispitanika prema svih 29 nacija), s dosadašnjim stupnjem njihovog poznavanja (slabije osobno poznavanje - veća distanca), dok nije dobivena nikakva korelacija distance prema Srbima s osobnom pogođenošću ratom u Hrvatskoj, a korelacija distance prema Bošnjacima s osobnom po gođenošću ratofvi)m(a) uBosni iHercegovini čak je negativna. Autor zaključuje da rezultati, osobito potonji, mogu poslužiti definiranju “salutogenog” pristupa ratnim stradalnicima.Boghardus type scale was applied to a sample of social work students of the first and the second year (93% of the sample were women) in order to examine the distance towards 29 nations and the degree of personal experience sofar with at least one member. In particular, some determinants of distances towards Bosnians (Muslims) and Serbs were analyzed. With regard to general rank, Bosnians took 18th and Serbs 28th place. High correlation between the distance towards those two nations and “totalpersonal distance" (average of respondent’ s distances towards ali 29 nations) as well as with past experience (poorer personal experience - bigger distance) were found. No correlation between distance towards Serbs and how respondents were personally affected by war in Croatia was found. Correlation between distance to Bosnians and how respondents were personally affected by war(s) in Bosnia & Hercegovina is even negative. The author concludes that results, especially the later, could be used in defining the salutogenic approach to war victims
