Razmatrane su intervencije u okviru biopsihosocijalnog modela shvaćanja mentalnog zdravlja traumatiziranih osoba. Cilj ispitivanja je provjeriti postoje li razlike u vrsti i količni korištenih psihosocijalnih intervencija između sudionika različitih sociodemografskih karakteristika. Za registriranje broja i vrste primljenih psihosocijalnih intervencija korišten je Upitnik MACSI (Matrix for Recording Health Care and Social Interventions), konstruiran za potrebe istraživanja u međunarodnom projektu (Connect projekt, Priebe i sur., 2004). Dobiveni rezultati pokazali su da postoje razlike u vrsti i količini korištenih psihosocijalnih intervencija između sudionika različitih sociodemografskih karakteristika.

The victims are usually very reluctant to speak about their traumatic experiences, and try to deny the existence of psychological disturbances. They often seek help for somatic problems. Taking these physical complaints seriously helps to progressively reach the psychological effects of violence. Therefore, identification of such children should be directed to more complete evaluation of their symptomatology and functioning. This can be done by: a) individual evaluation to get enough information on the historical events, functioning and symptoms of these children; and b) standardized instruments which may allow the children to disclose more about their psychological experiences during the war. In this study rating scales and assessment instruments for children aged < 15, such as CPRS with General Scoring Sheet (Fish, 1985), were used to assess the broad spectrum of psychopathology in this age group. These questionnaires were used in a large group of school children (N = 1888), 989 girls and 899 boys aged 7-16 years. The sample was divided into 3 groups: 843 non-displaced, 377 displaced and 669 refugee children. Results of statistical analysis (arithmetical mean and standard deviation of discriminative variables transformed in Z-values with F-ratio) showed the three groups of children (non-displaced, displaced and refugees) to significantly differ in 13 out of 15 psychopathologic clusters. Discriminative cannonic analysis of the 3 groups of children (non displaced, displaced and refugees) also showed significant differences. The first discriminative function (80.24% of total variance) indicated depression, violence and antisocial behavior to be rare in non-displaced children, more pronounced in displaced, and most pronounced in refugee children. The second discriminative function (19.76% of total variance) showed hyperactivity, anxiety and psychosomatic disturbances to be rare in non-displaced children; more frequent in refugee, and most expressed in displaced children. According to the results, the authors concluded that war is very painful for a large group of children, among whom the displaced and refugee children are most affected by psychopathologic disturbances.

Specifically, it addressed the challenging question whether adolescents' motivational orientations differ across countries with vastly different cultural values, socioeconomic circumstances and history. A total of 1520 adolescents in the Netherlands, Serbia, and Croatia reported their parents' and their own RF (promotion and prevention), FTP on school and professional career, investment in learning and homework, and career planning, on three time points. Teachers assessed adolescents' investment in learning and provided adolescents' GPA. Based on the multi-group structural equation modeling results, we found good model fits for each country and confirmation of most hypotheses. Results supported that the hypothesized model was cross-culturally valid in the three countries, although FTP related differently to GPA and teacher ratings across the samples. Also, we revealed intriguing differences on adolescents' FTP and RF strategies across the three countries. The findings suggest that FTP and RF play an important role in the learning efforts and career planning of adolescents across different countries.

Pairs were equivalent in age and education. The independent variable is the risk level of the sports they are engaged in (high risk sports were parachuting, diving, gliding, speleology and alpinism, while low risk sports were athletics, rowing, bowling and table tennis). The aim was to find out which of these two scales is better at discriminating the two groups of athletes, since this is an important test of criterion validity for these two operationalizations of sensation seeking construct. Univariate F ratios show that all six predictors significantly differentiate the criterion groups onp co.05 level. In the discriminant analysis almost all of the valid discriminant variance is accounted for by three of Zuckerman's subscales-ES, TAS and BS. This finding is even clearer in stepwise regression analysis, where only ES and TAS remain as significant predictors.

This paper focuses on assessment of organizational culture by business-students in Croatia. The purpose of this research is to assess the organizational culture in Croatia by business-students in neutral surrounding and to assess different aspects of organizational cultures in Croatia. We approached the topic of organizational culture from theoretical and empirical perspective. The paper identifies some of the most relevant factors and dimensions of organizational culture. The main method used in our empirical research is Denison model of organizational culture. Through this model, authors assessed the organizational culture through twelve dimension indices and four cultural traits of organizations: involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission. It seeks to show that there will be no differences in perception of organizational culture according to management role and business areas and company sector. This paper demonstrates assessment during Economic crisis in Croatia and certainly gives an overview how employed business-school students perceive organizational culture according to world famous model of questioning organizational culture.

The existing classifications of traumatic events in childhood differentiate between events which do not include abuse and neglect in the narrow sense from those that do. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between exposure to non-abusive traumatic events in childhood and some aspects of psychosocial functioning in youth. Exposure to following traumatic events was examined: assault with an object/weapon, rape, murder, bomb explosion, serious illness of a parent. The research was conducted on 4177 teenage boys and girls. The psychosocial functioning of boys and girls is affected more by traumatic events that pose a personal threat, and less by events posing a threat to others (serious illness of a parent and witnessing murder). The effects of such events on multiple aspects of psychosocial functioning are more common in girls than in boys. The research has shown that boys who have not experienced a non-abusive traumatic event do not significantly differ from those who have experienced one event, but differ from those who experienced several traumatic events. The girls who experienced one non-abusive traumatic event differ from those that have not experienced any traumatic events. After one or more traumatic events, girls tend to be more insecurely attached, lonelier within the family, and have poorer academic performance. As far as boys are concerned, the connection with difficulties in psychosocial functioning appears after two or more events.

Because of the specific war experience of this population it is important to better understand the possible contribution of key socio-demographic variables, war traumatization and acute disturbances in mental health to their subjective assessment of their own well-being, which represents a psychological category and is based on a subjective assessment. The starting point is a theoretical precept according to which individual characteristics, together with war experience, can have repercussions on mental health, and eventually on the general well-being of an individual and their quality of life. The study comprised 184participants who had given their informed consent for participation and filled out complete questionnaires. The participants were a convenience sample of male persons who had survived war captivity in the Homeland War in the period from 1991 to 1995. The study was conducted as part of the physical examinations at the University Hospital "Fran Mihaljević" in Zagreb. The data was collected using several self-evaluation measuring instruments one of which served to collect socio-demographic data, two to collect data on the participants' mental health, one for the data on the participants' combat and war experiences and one to assess the participants' well-being. The data obtained suggest that only avoidance and arousal symptoms and psychosomatic difficulties are predictors of the well-being of persons who have experienced war captivity.

Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da ne postoje vece razlike u preferencijama prema sportovima cetiri uzastopne godine – od akad. god. 2002./2003. do 2005./2006. unutar istog spola. Studentice i studenti predstavljaju u velikoj mjeri homogene grupe obzirom na izbor najvise i najmanje privlacnih i zanimljivih sportova. U velikoj mjeri postoji razlika jedino u sportovima po spolovima. Najinteresantniji sport za studente i studentice je plivanje kroz sve cetiri generacije. Slijede ga vikend izletnistvo, sto govori o preferenciji prema zdravlju studenata/ica Filozofskog fakulteta i ples kao dio osnovne kulture i nacina života. Svi agresivni, naporni, neestetski, koordinirano zahtjevni sportovi te sportovi koji iziskuju bliski kontakt s protivnikom nisko su rangirani i podjednako neprivlacni za studentice i studente. S obzirom da se interesi i potrebe studenata/ica Filozofskog fakulteta za tjelesnom aktivnoscu razlikuju i ovise o mogucnostima i uvjetima bavljenja razlicitim aktivnostima, potrebno je dalje istraživati i pratiti postojece stanje, kao i planirati te programirati buduce aktivnosti. Mogucnost individualnog izbora sportskih sadržaja na fakultetu i Sveucilistu najvjerojatnije bi motiviralo studente/ice da ne gledaju na tjelesno vježbanje kao na obavezu nego kao na svakodnevnu potrebu jer, kako pokazuju rezultati istraživanja na Filozofskom fakultetu akad. god. 2001./2002. na uzorku od 2681 studenta/ica, samo 8, 7 % studentica i 16 % studenata Filozofskog fakulteta redovito vježba bar dva puta tjedno sto su porazni rezultati (6).

Each republic consequentially became an independent state. Slovenia was the firs republic to separate from the socialist Yugoslavia, followed by Croatia. Slovenia was the only one to avoid serious military conflicts. Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia suffered greatly during the years of war. The war marked the younger generations on all levels including education and sport. Since then each republic has had its own history. For example, Slovenia is now considered economically stable and is also a member of several important international organizations such as NATO and European Union. Croatia has already applied for EU membership, while Serbia is still marked by the war and has yet to finish the transition process. The research deals with the place of sport in Universities curriculum and how it is perceived by the students of Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade University. The research comprises a questionnai...

Prema postojećim klasifikacijama traumatskih događaja u djetinjstvu, razlikuju se događaji koji ne uključuju zlostavljanje i zanemarivanje u užem smislu od onih koji to jesu. Cilj je ovog istraživanja ustanoviti povezanost izlaganja nezlostavljajućim traumatskim događajima u djetinjstvu s nekim aspektima psihosocijalnog funkcioniranja mladih. Ispitivana je izloženost sljedećim traumatskim događajima: napad predmetom/oružjem, silovanje, ubojstvo, eksplozija bombe, teška bolest roditelja. Istraživanje je provedeno na 4 177 mladića i djevojaka.
