Conflict and Resilience
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, national and religious identities have traditionally been deeply connected, serving as key markers of group belonging and boundaries between communities. Among the three main groups — Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs — religious affiliation often functions not only as a matter of personal belief but also as a symbolic affirmation of national identity. This study explores the relationship between various measures of religiosi…
Health literacy, religiosity, and political identification as predictors of vaccination conspiracy beliefs
The primary focus of this paper is to investigate the influence of science literacy, particularly health literacy, on vaccine-specific conspiracy beliefs, within the broader context of vaccine hesitancy. The authors tested deficit (scientific literacy shapes science attitudes) and contextual models (contextual variables exert direct influence and influence the connection between literacy and science attitudes) in a survey research study ( N = 729…
A social media and substance use among the youth
This paper is aimed at testing the direct and indirect connections of social media use with substance use (smoking and drinking alcohol). It was hypothesized that one direct and two mediation mechanisms existed: the social comparison hypothesis (perception of financial deprivation) and hedonistic behaviour hypothesis. Both hypotheses were tested with a research sample of young people aged 15-30 in Croatia (N = 481) during 2020 as part of a Europe…
The Deficit and Contextual Models of Vaccine Hesitancy
The prevalence of vaccine hesitancy underscores the fact that the general public does not uniformly embrace scientific recommendations. Vaccine hesitancy represents a spectrum, encompassing both those who accept all vaccines and those who outright reject them. This paper aims to explore the relationship between science literacy, contextual factors, and vaccine hesitancy while accounting for specific mediation mechanisms. The authors applied a the…
The Impact of Civic and Religious Social Capital on the Antisocial Attitudes of the Youth
The main goal of this paper is to investigate whether some dimensions of civic and religious social capital are connected to antisocial attitudes of the youth. Based on the social capital theory and previous research, the author assumed that membership of voluntary associations as a dimension of civic social capital and attendance at religious services as a dimension of religious social capital, will be negatively correlated with antisocial attit…
Humour and ex-Yugoslav nations
This study explores the issue of humour stereotyping between ex-Yugoslav nations, their veridicality and possible explanations. Three research questions were put forward relating to humour stereotyping, as well as the differences in humour production, use and appreciation between the countries. The survey data were collected on a sample of university students from four ex-Yugoslav countries (N = 611). The results revealed strong negative humour s…
Mediatisation of Catholicism in Croatia
This paper deals with the topic of mediatisation of religion. It is seen as a process wherein the structural logic and communicative characteristics of the media play a significant role in religious communication, thus exerting an influence on the success of the transmission of such messages and on religion as a whole. Having in mind the overarching importance of the Internet as a communication platform, the authors investigated whether the Inter…
Ethical culture as predictor of work motivation
This study examines the relationship between ethical culture and work motivation, whereby specific dimensions of ethical culture are measured by employing the Corporate Ethical Virtues Model (CEV) developed by Muel Kaptein and his associates. The analysis is based on data collected by means of an online survey conducted in Croatia on a sample of 400 employees of private and public sector organizations. The results presented in the paper show that…
