The author wishes to contribute to the rehabilitation of the mirror aspect in the esthetic theory. Owing to its characteristics such as: the ability to create a scene, to reflect reality and turn it into picture, then having in mind the illusory character of its picture, mirror always stood for metaphorical expression of artistic creation. Special theories always tend to separate either its illusory, or its realistic component thus destroying its essential paradoxality. This further on very often invokes attacks on the mirror aspect where mirror turns into an anti-example of art. Having started with the use of the mirror and its meaning in everyday usage the author shows that mirror can serve as a multilevel analogon of art functioning with multifold meanings in the game it plays with us, and most of all having in mind the role it has in the process of self-recognition.

Od Mythosa do Logosa ili između religijskog i profanog
Authors: Travar Dušan
Published: September 2018

The author begins with the question regarding the rationality of philosophical thought as opposed to individual sciences and to religion. The transition from myth to logos is marked by mythologizing without the presence of a cult. However, the cult actualises sacral time by way of associating with the godly and die gods. Without its materialization in the cult myth looses its real content. The critique of myths by philosophers in Parmenid develops into the thesis of being while in Plato it takes the form of a dialogue between a philosopher and a poet. The setting up of logos in the place of mythos represents the exclusion of the symbolic, sacral and emotional understanding of existence and a transition from mythic to rational thoughts, from religion to science. Behind the philosophical critique of mythic polytheism stands the thought of the unity of the foundation of the world and the world as such (Heraclitus). The twofold rationality of philosophy leads to two philosophies: philosophy as science and philosophy as the experience of the whole of being, that is, the rational metamorphosis of mythos and the experience of die whole of the experience of the unity and community of the being of man and god, the Platonic kind of philosophy which takes over the heritage of the cult. According to die audior, philosophy ought to avoid die setting apart of the Ratio (rational positivism and critical rationalism) and return to mythos and thusly occupy the lopos between religion and science.
Russellova etička teorija
Authors: Radovan Milena
Published: September 2018

Considering variety of problems that Bertrand Russell dealt with, very important place have his ethical views despite the fact that they have been dispersed within various papers. Neither Russell nor many of his reviewers would consider problems that this prolific and controversial writer dealt with philosophical. Russell himself considered ethics and social humanistic problematics to belong among philosophical problems much more so starting with the fact that cognitive and evaluative problematics are strictly devided. Russell pointed out that evaluative problematics is what actually separates philosophy from science. As a spokesman for the philosophy which would rely on science he nevertheless tried to prove that essential values cannot be proved. He maintained that there is no place for science proper in the evaluative sphere as well as in the scientifically oriented philosophy. This relationship Russell sees as follows: science establishes truths, ethics deals with values, and philosophy is a kind of science while ethics doesn’t belong there. Though Russell came to these conclusions he still left ethics within the sphere of philosophy but he regards it as essentially separate field with different status from the one that scientifically established philosophy, logic and epystemology have. For the separation of cognitive and evaluative problematic Russell finds the cause in the fact that basic attitudes of ethical philosophy cannot be proved. This is also the case with the most fundamental philosophic-scientific attitudes which Russell himself showed to be unprovable. Fundamental postulates are unprovable in its conscious and evaluative sphere, they have its ontological hypothesis and its gnoseological principles equally essential as are its evaluative principles in the sphere of human experience. Despite the fact that these two cannot be equated they both belong to human consciousness of various sorts and degree of objectivity. Russell’s theory of ethics is not unique. He has in this sphere as well as in other spheres of knowledge changed his points of view. At the beggining he was spokesman for intuitionism and like Moore he maintains that »good« cannot be defined, but it can be intuitively recognized. Afterwards he rebuked his attitude considering that all evaluative expressions were emotional that they had optative rather than indicative character, thus constituting emoti- vistic trend in meta-ethics. His emotivism soon aquired social character since he recognized that in evaluative critical attitudes next to emotions there were also our wishes to be taken into account in order to be accepted in society. Russell avoids relativism in ethics, thus he builds an objective basis for his ethics, and in it he sees the possibility of scientific foundation for ethics.
Suočavanje s usamljenošću: značenje iskustva i uzroka usamljenosti
Authors: Sorić Izabela , Lacković-Grgin Katica , Penezić Zvjezdan
Published: September 2018

A questionnaire, which included some questions for measuring different strategies of coping with loneliness (author A. Rokach) has been translated and administered to 484 subjects aged 16-90 years. Principal factor analysis was used, and six interpretable factors were extracted. Three of them (Thinking and acceptance, Social support network, Religion and faith) were almost the same as the factors which were obtained by Ami Rokach. The other three factors (Distance and denial, Higher activity, Self-development and understanding) have substantial differences in comparison with the factors which were obtained in Canadian research. The differences could be, in part, interpreted in terms of cultural differences between the Canadian and Croatian sample.
Interne determinante altruizma: da li je pomaganje drugima u osnovi egoistično ili altruistično?
Authors: Raboteg-Šarić Zora
Published: September 2018

Classical meaning of altruism lies in the fact that it seems to represent an exception from convincing' principle which argues that behaviour is controlled by rewards and punishments and in this connection by generalization that people are essentially egoistic. Contemporary researches of the positive forms of social behaviour are only peripherally relevant for this centuries-old question. The majority of these researches investigate situational factors and external determinants of altruistic behaviour. But by turning from the investigation of altruism as a social form of behaviour to definition of altruism as an attribute of personality, a problem necessarily arises of establishing internal determinants and motivational structure of the helping act. Recent approaches point out the importance of emotional factors as fundamental mediators in helping others. These approaches are different from the above mentioned ones because they presuppose different kind of motivation, caused by emotional excitement. According to Piliavin and Piliavin model, helping others in a trouble is exclusively motivated by egoism. Batson and Coke on the other hand presuppose the experience of empathy can be a cause of unaffected altruistic motivation to help. According to this model the spectator of a troubled person can experience qualitatively different emotions: personal anxiety and empathic care for the troubled person, These different emotional reactions result in different motivation to help. There is a suggestion that the experience of empathy provokes altruistically motivated behaviour, i. e. help whose aim is a reduction of the other’s trouble and not of personal unpleasant states. The authors propose a method as well how to ascertain empirically whether motivation to help other is altruistic or egoistic in its essence. At the same time this model represents the first meritorious attempt to ascertain the motivational basis of seemingly unselfish helping others not notionally only but empirically as well.
Estetski doživljaj, neestetski doživljaj — u čemu je razlika?
Authors: Bezinović Petar
Published: September 2018

On the basis of the operational by defined basic variables in the interactional model for the structure of esthetic experience (Bezinović, 1984), this model was empirically tested with the process of factor analysis. The comparison of factor structure obtained by the extraction of the factors in the situations of »ideal esthetic experience«, »real esthetic experience« and »non-esthetic experience« was performed. Six interpretable factors were extracted in the first situation mentioned, while second and third situations had five and six such factors respectively. The following factors were identified: evaluation [hedonistic values), activity (dynamism) of the objects, positive mood, negative mood, tensions (high activity), general emotionality and uncertainty. The results show a prominent congruence of the factor solution in three situations which supports the hypothesis of the unique structure of experience on the bipolar continuum of esthetic-non-esthetic dimension The bipolarity of the continuum is confirmed by the results of the analysis of the variance of factor results in three experimental situations which shows that the esthetic experience differs from the non-esthetic primarily in the direction and the intensity of the experience in the system of the same basic structure.

There are great number of investigation which have shown contradictory results about age differences in life satisfaction. One of the aims of this investigation was to find if there are age differences in life satisfaction. The other aim was to find if there are age differences in other personality characterstics (self-esteem, loneliness, solitude, optimism, pessimism etc) related to the life satisfaction, as well as their relations with life satisfaction in different age groups. Investigation take place in few Croatian towns, and subjects were divided into three age groups. There were 148 younger subjects (18 to 25 years of age), 130 middle aged people (39 to 47 years of age), and 120 older subjects aged 59 to 65 years. Two forms of LIPKO questionnaire, which is consisted of different scales, were used. Results have shown that there are no differences among three different age groups in life satisfaction. There are significant age differences in self-esteem. The lowest results in self-esteem are in die group of the young subjects while the highest results are obtained in the group of the older people. There are no age differences in self-esteem among middle aged and older subjects. Age differences have been obtained for the importance of health goals, and the importance of knowledge and competence goals. The importance of those goals are the highest among younger subjects, and there are no differences among young and older subjects, too. Life satisfaction are in a very high positive correlation with self- esteem and optimism, which could be treated as a reletively stable personality charactesritics, but, on the other hand, life satisfaction are in significant negative correlation with loneliness and future anxiety.

A group of adolescents of various age and sex was asked to rank, in order of importance, eighteen relevant paternal features. The results have shown that girls of younger age are more homogenous than boys in their evaluation, but also that the rale of homogeneousness risnes with age in both sexes. Both, similarities and differences between the two Sexes are noticeable in the evaluation of a number of features. The girls of all ages prefer the expressive role of the father, whereas boys combine expressive and Instrumental roles. The article shows a critical attitude towards Parsons’ conception of the expressive role of the mother and the instrumental role of the father. At the same time it gives a comparison between the results of the research and those obtained by the adolescents in France.
Stavovi studenata različitog profesionalnog usmjerenja prema osobama s tjelesnim teškoćama
Authors: Pedisić Anita
Published: September 2018

Many studies have shown that attitudes towards handicapped persons differ according to various professional orientations. This study investigated the attitudes of students of special education (N=109) and students of economy (N=115) towards physically handicapped persons. The criterion variable of attitudes were represented by scales which reflect two factors of the cognitive components of attitudes (“The implication of deviant characteristics and the segregation of physically handicapped persons”) and one factor pertaining to the affective component (“Unease in interaction”). The results showed differences in the attitudes of the two groups of students which were to be expected. Namely, the students of special education expressed fewer negative attitudes towards physically handicapped persons both on the cognitive and on the affective scale measures. With the aim of discovering the predictors of attitude, scales were also used which examined how much the students expressed fear of the negative evaluation of physically handicapped persons (as an indicator of social anxiety), to what measure they establish contact with these persons and how essential they hold the physical appearance of other persons. It was shown that students of special education had less fear of the possibility of negative evaluation, were less directed to the physical appearance of other persons and established a more frequent and more qualitative contact with physically handicapped persons. Considering the results of regressive analysis which showed a similar constellation of attitude predictors amongst students with different professional orientations and the significant differences in the results of predictive variables, maybe the less negative attitudes amongst students of special education can be explained by their lesser anxiety and fear concerning proper behaviout, the better relationship which they establish with physically handicapped persons and the lesser extent to which they are orientated towards the outer appearance of others. Considering the specific education these students acquire such an explanation seems plausible.
Stabilnost efekata pristranosti i efekta tematskog materijala u Wasonovom izbornom zadatku
Authors: Valerjev Pavle
Published: September 2018

The aim of this paper was to demonstrate bias effects (Evans, 1989) and the effect of thematic material (Griggs and Cox, 1982) on reasoning in Wason’s selection task and also, to investigate the stability of diese effects in respect to experience got in the same and similar types of tasks. Bias effects influence some typical errors in reasoning, and the effect of thematic material is the phenomena that bias effects are stronger in the situation of abstract tasks solving than in the situation of concrete tasks solving. Different theories of deductive reasoning try to explain these phenomena. In the experiment the subjects' task was to select two cards out of four of them that describe states of affairs, to check the validity of a given conditional sentence. Both kinds of effects (bias and thematic material) were found and were shown to be stable, in respect to experience acquired in previous conditional syllogisms solving, and also in respect to the order of selecting tasks solving (abstract-concrete and vice versa). It seems that none of the theories of reasoning give a complete explanation of these phenomena, so all explanations were considered.

The SOPUS (DFGUC) index (daily family gathering in urban community) considers gatherings of narrow and wider family circles aind friends on various social occasions where adolescents are also present. The hypothesis was that the SOPUS (DFGUC) index could serve as an indicator of the family influence iin the process of socialization of adolescents. 228 adolescents were screened (85 male and 143 female). They were all born in town, live with their parents and attend the third grade of the secondary specialized training school. The results of the research have shown that the SOPUS (DFGUC) index can be taken as an indicator of the family influence on some aspects of the elements of socialization of adolescents.

This paper gives a review of some basic principles of self- efficacy theory. Basic elements of self-efficacy theory are discussed, as well as their sources in die social-cognitive dieory of personality. Effects of self-efficacy beliefs, sources of self-efficacy, development of self- efficacy beliefs are discussed, too. Some specificity of the measurement of self-efficacy and relevant self-efficacy scales are mentioned. Self-efficacy theory is discussed in relation to some other constructs. These constructs include outcome-expectancy and they have some role in human motivation. This paper tries to emphasize the difference between the construct of self-efficacy and other relevant constructs. Finally, some future directions are laid out because the construct of self-efficacy seems very interesting for further investigation.

We examined 140 attendants (79 schoolgirls, 61 boys) of third year highschool classes. The examination was conducted in schools of which one prepares its pupils for »productive«, the other for »nonproductive« occupations. The Eysenck EPQ questionaire and the ANS-IE scale for locus controle were employed in examining the personality traits. Age, sex and a number of facts pertaining to the family, its interactions and its socio-economic status were collected about the pupils under investigation. A comparison of the achievement of the pupils was made in relation to the school they attended and to their sex. Results show that a difference exists in some examined personality traits if related ito the attended school and the sex of the examined pupil.
Prilog koncipiranju nove teorije životnog vijeka
Authors: Lacković-Grgin Katica
Published: September 2018

Modern developmental psychology has been characterised with a wealth of empirical facts and a relatively small number of theories, which are mostly oriented to the confined time of development and confined domains of functioning. Because of some important changes in contemporary developmental psychology, according to which it is no more just a theory of child development but the life-span developmental psychology, it is very important to integrate information about different developmental aspects. It should bring into accord analysis with respect to life periods and different behaviors. In a new developmental theory attention should be directed to the personal contribution to one's own development and the self-regulation of the development. The theory of personal development which is proposed by Heckhausen and Schultz (1995)includes primary and secondary control of development. On the basis of some empirical indications it should be proposed that the new theory has to include tertiary control as well. The tertiray control of development is neglected probably because it includes some more mature personality defense mechanisms. Developmental self-regulation could be reached through connection of outer demands (biological and social) with the efforts of each person in accordance to primary, secondary and tertiary control.
The age of the teachers and their personal equation in the evaluation of pupils’ knowledge
Authors: Grgin Tomislav
Published: September 2018

Statistical analysis of the grades at the end of the semester in the following subjects: native tongue, history, mathematics and chemistry in Zadar primary school (7th graders) given to the pupils by 29 teachers (age up to 40) and 29 teachers older than 40, showed that younger teachers are somewhat less strict in grading than the older teachers but there is no significant difference. The value of hi-square was 1,32 which does not have any statistical significance. The conclusion is that the age of the teachers does not have any influence on their personal equation in the evaluations of pupils’ knowledge in the schools.
Sjeta religije i zov demokracije
Authors: Čimić Esad
Published: September 2018

The author is of the opinion that his problematics focuses on the fact that many people have deprived themselves of emphatising with authentic border situations. As though the the category of people who, regardless of their thought formation, rejects any backing from god who is not beforehand an ally of humanity as they perceive it, is growing. The person is a growing perfection (S. G. Jung) so dial one gains and does not loose in colliding with the fire of God. Freedom appears as the possibility of freedom and is not reducible to choice. Monotheistic religions will loose their stride if they do noi ready themselves for an authentic dialogue amongst themselves. The coping with interconfessional relationships is a precise measure of cultural differences in contemporary society: if they are not reflected in a negative manner on these relationships than these differences are minimal. Democracy manifests itself through the prism of two concepts of politics: (a) the nihilistic-misanthropic and authoritarian and (b) the andiropological-humanistic and democratic concept. Three myths of the communist ideological and political formation give way before three myths of societies of transition.
Utjecaj semantičkih i sintaktičkih faktora na razumijevanje rečenica kod broca-afazičara
Authors: Mimica Ivan , Takšić Vladimir
Published: September 2018

Yugoslav agrammatic aphasics and normal control subjects were tested for comprehension of agent-object relations in a series of simple Serbo-Croatian sentences consisting of two nouns and a transactive action verb. The availability of nominative and accusative case inflections and a semantic contrast was systematically varied across sentences. Sentences were also varied with respect to the two sequences NVN and VNN. An analysis of subjects’ agent-object assignments yielded the following results: While Broca’s aphasics showed some sensitivity to case inflections, their ability to process such cues was greatly impaired relative to normal subjects, for whom morphological cues were almost completely deterministic. Broca’s aphasics were impaired to a lesser degree in their ability to employ a strategy of »choose the first noun as agent« when case inflections and semantic contrasts were not available. While Broca’s aphasics showed no impairment in their ability to exploit semantic contrasts for agent-object assignment, there was no absolute compensatory increase in the degree to which they relied on semantic cues. Differences in word sequence had no effect on agent-object assignment in Broca’s aphasics. Finally, Broca’s aphasics frequently responded unsystematically when cues to agent-object relations occurred in isolation or in competition with one another, but when there was a convergence of cues, their performance approached that of normal subjects. This result was interpreted in terms of the accessing hypothesis.

Published: September 2018

Authors discuss the articulation and structuration of public opinion as a complex social phenomenon in the last decade in Croatia. It is typical for democratic societies that when they become democratic there are more possibilities for expressing oneself and for one's afirmation. Consequently, we can investigate the society by researching its public opinion, and pointing out actual and potential social problems. The paper presents some of the results of methodological research, using applied content analysis of Croatian newspapers. The sample included all the articles in three daily journals and three weekly journals, from 1991. to 1998. which presented results of the empirical research. At the beginning of 90’s appeared the first journalistic research into public opinion. Surveys were the most represented method (91.61%) in all the analised articles. But, those surveys did not satisfy basic methodological and statistical criteria. The most treated theme was the political one and the one about media. On the other hand, economic and social aspects of living and labour were neglected. Finally, the authors plea for more efforts and more debates, for the aim of methodologicaly les improving the work of researchers. Newspapers as media are powerful means of informing and shaping the public opinion, because they act continually in an interactive way between the citizens and the authorities, creating the condition for the efficacy of the democratic development in Croatian society.
O nekim socio-ekonomskim aspektima nezaposlenosti
Authors: Jurić Boris
Published: September 2018

Unemployment is one of the "chronic illnesses of contemporary society". Unemployment within a particular economy is the condition when a part of the population capable of working seeks a job on the labour market, that is, seeks employment but is without a working place and a job. Unemployment can be divided into voluntary (frictional or normal) and involuntary. Voluntary unemployment is not considered a national or economic problem of top priority. This is different when involuntary unemployment is in question - this inimical force to many economies. Instead of contributing to the wealth of the nation, the unemployed are a supported pan of the population. The involuntarily unemployed are regularly excluded from the "world of labour" and from many other components of social life. Large unemployment causes powerful social and political tensions. Croatia has a disturbing level of unemployment (at the end of October 2000 the Croatian Employment Bureau numbered 369.542 unemployed persons).

This investigation was set to test the connection between the diastolic blood pressure and the age of the informants to the time which was needed to register situations of different complexity. The sample of 110 males was divided into two age groups and it was further divided into four groups according to the intensity of diabolic blood pressure. Three tests were used from CDR series which check the reaction time of the informants; 1. reaction to the light stimulation (CRD4C), 2. on 1, 2, 3, simultaneous signals (CRD4A) and 3. in the situations where simple mathematical tasks had to be performed (CRD1). Two way analysis of the variancy (diastolic blood pressure plus age) showed only 'the main influence of the levels of the diastolic blood pressure on the CRD1 test where the informants with higher blood pressure had lower effect, that is a longer latency period. This finding is congruent to the findings of most other investigation in this idrection. The finding is compatible with a part of Szafran’s (1963, 1966) two factor model which shows that the 'influence of the cardiovascular illness is evident only in some complicated tasks. The age of the informants is not significant in none of the applied tests.

In the article the author, after similar research in the social, cultural and spado-economic spheres, deals with the contradictions and the negative aspects in the economic sphere of contemporary tourism. This research, alongside the investigation of the problem of alienation and delineation in tourism, "the mass” character and the "selectivity" of Croatian tourism and the systematization of positive and negative phenomena and functions in tourism represent the core of die research project which die author is working upon for the needs of die Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of Croatia under the title the Social and Economic Contradictions of Croatian Tourism. In researching the negative and unfavorable economic or business phenomena and consequences the author sets out with the thesis that tourism is primarily significant because of its positive and favorable economic functions and characteristics but that as a product, reflection and reflex of society and individual economic systems it acquires various positive but also negative features. The article systematizes all the unfavorable and negative phenomena of tourism, discusses the influence of tourism on the relative and absolute decrease of economic achievement and on the broadening of structural disproportions between tourist demand and supply. In similar manner the second "bloc" of the research project entitled "The unfavorable economic consequences of the seasonal character of tourism and measures for lessening die seasonal cycle" die author diagnoses the problems but also gives answers with the aim of decreasing the negative aspects of contemporary tourism in the world and in Croatia, all with the purpose of promoting a higher quality in tourism but also in the entire socio-economic system.
Odnos individualnog i socijalnog u kulturnoj pedagogiji u Hrvatskoj između dvaju svjetskih ratova
Authors: Radeka Igor
Published: September 2018

On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the publication of the book The Century of the Child by the Swedish authoress Ellen Key which, when it first appeared, caused a vigorous reaction amongst the pedagogical public, the article analyses the relationship between the individual and die social approach to upbringing as one of the basic pedagogical problems. After reviewing the key features of radically individual and extremely social movements in pedagogy which always ended up without any practical pedagogical breakthroughs, die author sets down to elaborate the positions of cultural pedagogy in Croatia between the two world wars. Research has shown that cultural pedagogy lakes a balanced attitude towards the individual and the social element in education. The process of bringing nearer the subjective spirit to the objective spirit of the community within the educational process is developed in an active interrelationship and equal treatment of both the individual and the social aspect. The neglect of either one or the other educational pole would thwart the achievement of integral educational results. However, despite the enormous significance which cultural pedagogy assigns to this question it has not been elaborated on the level of practical pedagogical application. The manner of implementing this theory has been left to te freedom of the educational process. The harmonization of die relationship between the individual and die social in education is the common task of both pedagogy and society. The quality of pedagogy is measured by the manner in which these two extremes in education are reconciled and a society that takes man as its measure thrives when it ensures the presuppositions for the education of the complete potential merits of all of its members.
The meaning of culturalism in Max Weber’s approach to religion
Authors: Skledar Nikola
Published: September 2018

Weber deals with the topic of religion in methodologically most original and most relevant way in his essay »Protestant Ethics and the Spirit, of Capitalism«. In this work Weber is preoccupied with the explanation of the religious- ethical factors role in the genesis of some specific features of modern capitalism. Generally speaking he investigates some elements of the spiritual culture that influence the economic development as well as the mode of that influence. Weber’s intention was to show that the western form of economic organization, as well as the western cultural circle in general, western rationalism, couldn’t be explained without taking into consideration certain ideational moments. Emphasizing the importance of idetional factors in life and development of society he’s become the originator of a trend in contemporary sociology and philosophy which tends to stress relativelly autonomous but decisive influence of culture and cultural values on social development, called culturalism. In this review of Weber’s significant work it is to be pointed out that he used an abstract-analytical method, i. e. he extracted from a concrete sociological- -historical totality two essential factors and investigated their mutual relation. In doing so he pointed out that no single factor of social life determined causaly (monocausaly) all the others, but that they were to be found in a complex determinist concatination, in complex relations of mutual influences.
Američka srednja klasa kao nosilac neokonzervativnih ideja u SAD
Authors: Ivoš Erma
Published: September 2018

Conservatism is the dominant political theory in many capitalist countries of the West. In the U. S. A. the conservative wing of the Republican party was victorious in the presidental elections of 1980. Since then the neo-conservatives have held political power, supported by the widest section of the American society. In recent history there is no other example of such a wide coalition within the otherwise heterogeneous social stratum that the American middle class is. Neo- -conservatism has brought together, on the economic and political levels, their different sets of values but very similar economic interests. The coalition comprisses three segments of the American society the old middle class, the rich middle class, and the new middle class. The old middle class is recruited from the ranks of owners of small production firms, shops, or farms; the rich middle class is composed of industrialists who became rich trading in real estate or investing in oil industry and agriculture; and the new middle class is composed of industrial workers whose class status is dependent on education, occupation, and income. Structural changes in the American society have caused uncertainty to all the three segments of the middle class. In order to preserve their interests, all the three segments have resorted to neo-conservatism as the political expression of their vision of the American society-economically- morally, and politically. Their primary purpose is to provide opportunities of free enterprise on the basis of neo-liberalism, to establish the traditional moral order, and to restore the economic and military prestige both internally and internationally.
Četrdeset godina studija pedagogije na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zadru
Authors: Radeka Igor
Published: September 2018

Pedagogy has been a required subject for all courses of study educating students for the teaching profession at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar. The Chair of Pedagogy established in 1958/59 catered to this need. This has remained so to the present. In addition to this in 1961/62 a three-years long study of pedagogy itself was established in 1961/62. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of studying pedagogy at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar. From the 1977/78 academic year pedagogy in Zadar is studied as a four-years course of study. The continued two subject concept of study was transformed in 1982/83 into a one subject course but was shortly abandoned for the earlier two subject course of study. In Croatia (Zagreb, Zadar, Rijeka) pedagogy was initially organized as a chair to be later transformed into a department. The oldest chair for pedagogy was established in Zagreb in 1893 and developed into a separate course of studying pedagogy in 1928. The first chair of pedagogy in Rijeka began in 1962 while the first course of study commenced in 1966. It is to be expected that from the next academic year the Department of Pedagogy will be transformed into an independent department within the framework of the University of Zadar which is in the process of being constituted.
Gubitak transcedencije i nastojanje oko sigurnosti unutar svijeta
Authors: Travar Dušan
Published: September 2018

The "world view" influences the basic determination of man to the extent that all phenomena and events, all scientific problematizations and socio-cultural processes and, not least, human existence itself are networked into a coordinating system which is enmeshed in the "here present" or in the "otherworldly". Knowing one’s enmeshment in the otherworldly offers to man the possibility to experience in a specific manner the dangers and the risks of human existence and not to take the world as the only reality. Christianity demythologized the world and with the Biblical creative injunction addressed to man to subjugate the Earth it contributed to progress as a path of discovering and controlling the world. However, regardless of the nature of security within the world, progress is immanently prone to risk ("the remaining risk"). The loss of the otherworldly in modern society, on the one hand, contributes to the growing attenuation of endangerment of life but, on the other, man is becoming more and more insecure despite the enormous efforts devoted to security. This can ultimately lead to a point where "progress" is experienced as a power which endangers security and which needs to be curtailed.

Questions that were opened in previous research (Valerjev, 2000) are the aims of this one: First, to investigate instruction influence on results in Wason selection tasks (instruction varied from checking two cards to checking arbitrary minimum of cards). Furthermore, to investigate possible differences in answers due to the use of conditional or biconditional form of hypothesis in tasks, taking sequence effect into account. And finaly, to investigate differences in answers in respect to the material used in the task: abstract, neutral concrete, and concrete material that include the possibility of cheating (getting the benefit, without paying the price). The experiment was carried out on 64 participants that were randomly assigned to corresponding experimental situations in order to investigate the influence of four mentioned factors. Every participant solved six adequate selection tasks. Results showed that: a) there is no significant influence on results of solving sequence (conditional- biconditional and vice versa)', b) there is no (except in one case) significant difference in results between conditional and biconditional tasks, which supports the hypothesis about bias of perceiving conditionals as biconditionals; c) instruction has significant influence on results in a way that results were more stable and biases were more emphasized in the situation where instruction was to check two cards. An interesting finding was that this effect was not significant when biconditional rule was used, which can implicate that there was some interaction effect between instruction and type of conditional. Finally, d) it showed up that there was no significant difference in answers between abstract and neutral concrete tasks, but that there was significant difference in answers between concrete tasks that include possibility of cheating and other two types of used material (abstract and neutral concrete). These results are very interesting because they support Leda Cosmides’ evolution theory (1989) which claims that there exists a specific module of reasoning, which is sensitive to cheating. Results do not support pragmatic reasoning schema theory (Cheng and Holyoak, 1985) and mental model theory (Johnson- Laird and Byrne, 1991).
Važnost razvojnih ciljeva u adolescentnoj, srednjoj i starijoj životnoj dobi

The investigation covered 420 adult subjects who, heedful of their age, were sorted into three groups: 148 subjects aged 18 to 25 years, 130 subjects aged 39 to 47 years, and 120 subjects aged 59 to 65 years. The results showed that developmental goals could be interpreted according to four factor structure. These factors could be interpreted as the importance of physical health goals, the importance of material security goals, the importance of goals of knowledge and competence, and finally, the importance of socioemotional goals. The goals of material security, as well as the goals of physical health could be treated as universal in different age groups. It could be an indication that these goals are based in stable motivational dispositions (primary needs). The width of Socioemotional goals and Goals of knowledge and competence are more age dependent and vary among different age groups. Younger people find goals of knowledge and competence as well as goals of physical health, more important than the middle aged and older people. Some age specific goals are more important to women (goals of physical health and socioemotional goals). Results are discussed in the light of Levinson’s theoretical insights about development in adulthood.
Dva filozofa u Zadru — P. Bottura i J. Pulić o jeziku
Authors: Festini Heda

There was a number of even world known philosophers who worked in Zadar in the 19th century. These were: Bottura, Putić, Politeo, Nad i A. Petrić. On the occasion of the anniversary of tne Liberal Arts faculty in Zadar which actually is a succesor od the Zadar high school and lycée from the 19th century the people here remembered at least Iwo eminent philosophers from those times who were in some way the founders of these organizations. These philosophers were P. Bottura and J. Pulić, the teachers in the mentioned schools in Zadar. Our aim is to point out the similarities in the lives of P. Bottura who taught in Zadar and was the headmaster of the high school and lycée and J. Pulić who studied in Zadar and latter replaced Bottura as the headmaster ol the high school. It is shown that both of them were highly estimated by one of the gi-eatest Intellectuals in Dalmatia. N. Tamaseo. They ware given equal honors posthumously. But their interest in language was different. Bottura was interested in language, as he said himself, in order to apply philosophy to grammar which actually was an attempt to found logical Linguist ios. Pulić was primarily interested in language from the si and point ol' the analytical procedures in research as it is done today in the philosophy of science. The author stresses Bottura’s activites in relation lo Ihc contemporary philosophy of language and linguistics while Pullć’s contribution is stressed in relation Io Peirce’s invention of retroduction as a method in scientific discovery procedures
Odnos između atribucija partnerova negativnog ponašanja i subjektivne kvalitete braka efekt učestalosti partnerova negativnog ponašanja
Authors: Ćubela Vera

The aim of the study presented in this paper was to examine if the perceived frequency of a partner’s negative behavior moderates the association between lower marital satisfaction and the tendency to attribute partner’s negative behavior to internal, stable and global causes, and to perceive him/her as responsible and blameworthy for such behavior (Hewstone and Fincham, 1996). Participants were 99 men and 103 women who have been married on average about 4 years. Along with Ihe subjective quality of marriage, as assessed with the Marital Adjustment Test (Locke and Wallace, 1959) and attributions of partner’s negative behavior measured by the Relationship Attribution Measure (RAM, Fincham and Bradbury, 1992), we also assessed the frequency of the negative behavior presented in the RAM. In line with our hypothesis, the negative relationship between the level of marital adjustment and the mentioned pattern of attributions for the negative behavior of one’s marital partner was more pronounced in the group of respondents who reported relatively higher frequency of such negative behavior in their marriage during the last month. After controlling this level of one's partner negative behavior, Ihe correlations between particular attributions and marital adjustment were significantly reduced but remained signifienili. Among Ihe attributions assessed by RAM, the strongest predictor of marital adjustment proved to be causal attributions of negative behavior, and particularly causal stability. Relative inefficacy of attributions of responsibility and blame for the negali ve behavior in explaining the variance of marital adjustment was interpreted in terms of the appropriateness of their operationalisations in Ihe RAM.

In the attempt to work out a language model which could give a key to the philosophical questions related to language as am allembracing phenomenon, the author offers a critical analysis of those proposals which take isolated word and/or proposition as their model, and argues for an alternative approach which would favour the dialog as its paradigm. The analysis of the analytical conception of language shows that the primacy of proposition, the dominant principle of language atomisation and compositionality together with the orientation on universal semantics and logical formalization of natural languages actually present a reduction1 of such meaning dimensions in language which are most prominent in its concrete realization — that is in dialogue. The author stresses the atmosphere of a dialogue, situational context and phenomenal level of speech — all' of which are important for the constitution of meaning. The conviction propagated here is that philosophical theory which starts with dialogue as a model is closer to the essence of natural language.

Alathough Hegel gradually develops and varies in different ways, his concept of alienation during his philosophical development, he definitely worked it out in his Phenomenology of Mind where alienation is its central problem. We can say that alienation is the central and basic backbone of the whole philosophical structure in Hegel. It is basic in his ontologies as presented in the Phenomenology oi Mind and it is present in his whole opus which we can, conditionally called philosophical anthropology. The article mainly deals with (the analysis of Hegel’s Phenomenology oi Mind in a dialectal approach to objectification — alienation.
