Vrijeme reakcije na makularno i ekstramakularno projiciranje podražaje različitih kvaliteta
Authors: Reić Ina , Nikolić Matilda
Published: September 2018

The investigation of the reaction time to light stimuli of different qualities was launched with the hypothesis that, going by the structure of the retina of the eye, the reaction time will differ according to the place on the retina affected by the stimuli, that is, whether the stimuli is applied onto or outside the macule lutee of the eye’s retina. Two chromatic qualities of stimuli were used: red and blue light as electromagnetic waves with the biggest and smallest wave lengths of the visible part of the specter and white light as the achromatic quality which contains all the wave lengths. Ten people participated in the investigation who, in conditions of greater or smaller illumination, had to react as quickly as possible to different light stimuli, projected as these were onto different angle distances in relation to the retinal fovea centralis. Results show that reaction time increased with the increase of the angle of application of the stimuli, especially starting with thirty degrees and onwards. This corresponds to the surface of the eye’s macule lutee which means that the reaction time to extra-macular stimuli is significantly longer in relation to the macular ones.
Istraživanja procesa socijalnog uspoređivanja: Osnovni teorijski i metodološki pristup
Authors: Ćubela Vera
Published: September 2018

This paper presents a review of some basic theories and empirical findings about the social comparison processes. Festinger’s theory of social comparison processes was not just the first attempt to systematically elaborate the role of these processes in self-evaluation, but remains also one of the most cited references in social comparison literature. After Festinger’s pioneering work, two basic lines in the development of this research area could be distinguished. The first line, which is based on Festinger’s basic assumption that people compare to others primarily when objective standards for self- evaluation are unavailable, is characterised by the research focus on the preference for specific directions of self-evaluative social comparisons and the relative importance in self-evaluation of social comparison and other types of comparisons, such as temporal comparisons. The second, more recent one, focused more on the consequences and the motives of social comparison, especially on the self-enhancement motive. It was established that these comparison processes are related to other motives as well (e. g. self-protection, self-improvement etc), and that, in addition to comparison direction and motives, the consequences of social comparison also depend on some other factors, such as an individual’s self-esteem level, personal control, his/her perceived closeness and similarity with comparison target, the nature of the comparison dimension etc. The last part of this paper presents an overview of the main methodological approaches in social comparison research, including some useful suggestions for the researchers with regard to some particular procedures and techniques for the assessment of social comparisons.

The point in question is why the logic of judgements preceeds the logic of concepts when Anistotei's logic of concepts follows the Stoic logic of judgements. When the concept lis understood as a summary of the judgement, lite logic of judgements logically preceeds the logic of concepts. When the concept is understood as a category it is followed by the logic of judgements. — The relationship between semantics and syntactics is reciprocal in as mudi as ••semantics-' is understood from already established syntactics. Modern grammar is thus showing the logical supposition not only of the speech linguistically supposed but also that of the theory of grammar.
Mogućnosti i granice regulacije vlastita razvoja u odrasloj dobi
Authors: Lacković-Grgin Katica
Published: September 2018

On the basis of an overview of recent publications devoted to motivation and the regulation of development in adulthood the article begins by looking at the motivational foundations of self-determining actions as well as at external coercion regarding the regulation of one’s own development. Among biological constrain the meaning of the maturation process and ageing are emphasized while among social constrains developmental tasks and age norms are emphasized. The article draws attention to the foundations of developmental regulations pointing to selection, compensation and optimization and discusses developmental goals as the medium through which developmental regulation has an effect on developmental outcomes. At the end the article underlines the possibilities and the limitations of the mechanism and the strategies of the self-regulation of the development of adults (for example, different types of control and comparison) and expresses a demand for conceiving of such a methodology of research which will respect the dynamic, processual relationship of mechanisms and the strategies of regulating development as well as their outcome.

As computers emerged into the mainstream of society in the 1980s, it became apparent that many users experienced anxiety in using these new technological devices. Computer anxiety is a fear computer users have when using the computer, or when considering the possibility of computer use. The first aim of this investigation was to compare university and high school students in computer anxiety, and the second aim was to check out the relationships among computer anxiety and some sociodemographic and personality characteristics. The sample consisted of 140 first and second year university students from the Faculty of Science and Arts in Zadar and 297 first and second year high school students. Results of this study have shown that students exhibit higher computer anxiety than high school students do. Since computer anxiety causes computer use avoidance, educators should handle this problem before they can successfully implement instructional programmes using technology.

The data about hierarchical structure of working values were obtained from 112 pupils in job oriented schools and 164 pupils in non-job oriented schools. The investigation was conducted at the beginning and at the end of their professional training. Comparative analysis of the working values lists showed that pupils from job oriented school« gave relatively more significance (the first things on the list) to those values which defined their utilitaristic orientations. The pupils from non-job oriented schools gave more significance to the self-actualization values and orientation. Significance correspondence in the hierarchy of values can be found only at the beginning but not at the end of their schooling. The results obtained indicate a possible influence of purposeful education on the hierarchical rank of working values in high school education.

Articulating within their research project abortion as a social phenomenon, the authors discuss its manifold aspects and the many contentious issues pertaining to rights and obligations, good and evil, welcome and unwelcome behavior. This research theme is burdened with powerful emotions and passions which limit rational discussion or the possibility of cultural consensus. Because of these reasons the authors undertook a longitudinal empirical research project comparative in nature whose subject matter was abortion. The text describes the research results gathered during the period between 1997 and 2000. Within the Zadar county 580 pregnant women were covered by the investigation who during the time of the research were less then three months pregnant and who had undergone so-called artificial termination of pregnancy or abortion during the time the research project was being carried out. Although Croatia is one of the liberal countries declaring a regulated right to abortion Ibis phenomenon, within the social reality, manifests itself as complex and contradictory. The project confirmed the hypothesis that there were three basic reasons for the large number of terminated pregnancies. The first is a low level of education concerning prevention of pregnancy, the second is ignorance about contraception and the third is a significant lack of responsibility in regards to family planning. The research showed that most of the women covered were satisfied with their marriages. They mostly resorted to abortion because of social indications, only afterwards came eugenic considerations while medical and psychic indications were of less import. The authors conclude that, heedless of this, every mother (women or girl) had the freedom to make a decision about the life or death of their child. They believe it is necessary to apply more adequate social measures alongside more precise and original explanations of rules and laws. Interdisciplinary discussions affirming ethical codes of behavior cannot be avoided in the future. All of this can be implemented in more democratic social relations.
Upotreba tapping zadataka kao indikatora cirkadijurnih promjena stanja organizma
Authors: Manenica Ilija
Published: September 2018

Seven trained subjects (20—23 years old) took part in an experiment on circadian changes in body temperature, heart ratte and blood pressure. The values of these variables were taken every hour during 24 hours. Immediately after that the subjects were asked to do a tapping task (regular tapping on a micro-switch) while resting and during the multiplication of 3-digital numbers with 2 and 3-digital numbers with 7. The time intervals between successive tappings were recorded in m/s via a computer on the disquettes. Various variability indeices of the tapping task intervals showed high correlations amongst themselves, while the correlations were generally lower amongst the parameters of the psychological variables, tapping parameters and mental arithmetics. Furthermore, the taping PML-index wasn’t found as a good indicator of a mental load under the conditions of the multiplication of the 3-digital numbers with 2 and 7, while at the same time significant correlations were obtained between some tapping task parameters and mental arithmetic. It seems however, that some kind of other analyses might be more promising.
»Razoreni dom« i fenomenologija maloljetničke delinkvencije u poslijeratnom i novijem razdoblju u Jugoslaviji
Authors: Milosavljević Branko
Published: September 2018

Relation between phenomenologies of »broken home« and juvenile delinquency in postwar (1947—1961) and recent period (1967—1981) has been researched by documentary and the content analysis methodologies. The results obtained indicate a significantly greater number of juvenile delinquenitis (ca three-quartens) derives from complete (not broken) families than from the broken ones. The same results also indicate that number of juvenile delinquents derived from illegitimate children population is insignificant (ca four per cent). It follows that the results of this research indicate there is not statistically significant correlation between »broken home« and juvenile delinquency in Yugoslavia and, consequently, that juvenile delinquency etiology can not be reduced to »broken home«.

Kvalitativni pristup u medijskim istraživanjima
Authors: Leburić Anči , Nedić Nediljka
Published: September 2018

The authors treat Ihe media as a very significant component of contemporary life demanding to be studied. They actualize different and newer methodological approaches in media research for which they find inspiration in the general social situation at the beginning of the 21st century. This is a time of enormous technologies and a controversial time of large social changes. While in existing media research public communication has been generally evaluated by way of quantitative methods, the authors seek to affirm a qualitative paradigm as a wholly new and as yet unapplied methodological strategy, Contemporary social developments presuppose the investigation of media as a market phenomenon. Convergence as the basic symbol of communication in the future is affirmed within this context. Within it the broadly spread telecommunication services are joined together to form the new media world of the future. Most researchers deal with television as the most powerful media of the contemporary world but they also deal with cable services. In such am manner the research results come closer to determining the needs and the interests of the consumers. In addition the authors discuss a series of characteristics of the social processes of communication. They undertake a special analysis of some newer theoretical- methodological approaches in media research, such as ethno- meihodological investigations, symbolic interactionism, the ethnography of communication and cultural studies. The critique of earlier media studies has been directed at their exclusive interest in studying the emergence, development, genres and the use of the media. The speedy expansion of media has motivated researchers to deal with its effects and the possibilities. Because of this the authors anticipate that future methodological strategies in media studies will find their place in the application of qualitative investigations. It is precisely this type of investigation which signalizes contemporary trends in the development of modern methodology within the field of the social sciences. The qualitative researcher is especially endowed with the capacity to think about the lives of others. The authors conclude that the validity of media studies will be greater if research methods are modernized and in such a fashion accommodate themselves to existing societies and to the ways media are transformed within them. In the future, man, as the creator of information and as a social being, will continue to create social processes amongst which communication is one of the basic ones. However, the fate of qualitative media research will depend on the tempo of development of media within democratic societies.

In this paper the revision of the recently most used questionaire of narcissism (Narcissistic Personality Inventory, Raskin and Hall, 1979) is presented. The aim of the revision was to obtain an instrument for investigation of narcissism as a pathological aspect of self-evaluation which could be used for Croatian speaking population. The revised version consists of twenty pairs of items, which have a satisfactory internal consistency and reproducibility. Although factor analysis showed that the construct was not unidimensional the results could be treated as a global measure of narcissism
Mozaici za gospodarsku budućnost hrvatskih otoka: primjer otok Pag
Authors: Jadrešić Vlatko
Published: September 2018

During the entire period of the former Yugoslavia (in a declarative and colonizing fashion) and in the context of today’s independent Croatia (an effective and thought-out search for social-economic advancement) the orientation towards the Adriatic sea in the economic policy of Croatia and the special place it assigns to its islands has had its dilemmas, discrepancies but also its constant features and programs of development. The former period was characterized, especially when it comes to islands, by relatively poor socio-economic results because the few initiatives and projects faltered against "higher", that is, Yugoslavian interests and priorities. On the other hand, since the democratic changes during the nineties little lime has elapsed, not to speak of the war, for Croatia to have undertaken something of significant magnitude so that, regardless of qualitative presuppositions and spiritual impulses, the country stands at the very, albeit better, beginning. Dilemas and challenges pertaining to the development of the Adriatic islands, Pag (taken here as a paradigmatic case) included, arc many. Although the islands are marked by specificities, although they differ according to the level of development, it seems that even today the dominating idea consists in the assumption that tourism has to be their basic developmental basis. Alongside tourism agriculture, traditional crafts and certain branches of shipping are also considered. However, there is little structural differentation, quality, traditional specificity and selective deliberation within this justifiable orientation. Every county, district, all the islands, even every town want tourist development (let us emphasize this as the paradigm) but none of them ask themselves - what kind of tourism and within what boundaries? What does world tourist demand seek and what can they supply? In what fashion are other economic and social activities Io be improved through tourism, how to select optimal segments and how to complementari Iy act in the most favorable manner? How to designate the priorities of development and to arrive at a balanced and harmonious interpenetration of development and the functioning of the economic, natural, ecological, cultural and infrastructural factors? Within the broader Adriatic island context, the article analyses the condition and the possibilities of the island of Pag, taking into consideration its specificities, attempts to think about its future and its prosperity primarily in a manner which contrasts with the so-called large scale planning and development, suggesting specific possible solutions and tendencies. Its purpose is therefore solely to instigate dilemmas, deliberations and solutions in the development of this lovely, somewhat bizarre and prosperous Croatian island. Regardless of all their differences and specificities one can still find within the family of Croatian islands similar and common features and possibilities. The article employs the socio-economic method of investigation.

The Croatian Board for Schools has Io retain and develop its basic advise-giving function for the advancement of the school system. Otherwise the board would be taking upon itself surveillance and education inspecting chores which cannot be allowed within the process of democratizing education. The necessary precondition l'or this is that new employees are engaged alongside the policy of decentralizing regional departments which up to now have been unjustifiably minimized. The board must not be (only) a transmission of the educational policy of the Ministry of Education and Sports. In the future it would have to be a wholly independent institution but today efforts must be made to enable it to independently elaborate programmatic aims and wholly autonomously define projects of significance for the advancement of the educational policy of Croatian society.
Povezanost hipertoničnih promjena očne pozadine i uratka u testovima sposobnosti različite složenosti
Authors: Takšić Vladimir , Veles Natalija , Mimica Milorad
Published: September 2018

The paper deals with the results of an investigation which aim was to find out whether there is any correlation between the hypertonic changes on the eye retina (changes in the blood vessels) and the reaction time in different situations of varying stimulus complexity. The assessment to hypertonic changes was done on 58 subjects by an ophtalmologist, and the reaction time in varying degrees of stimulus complexity was measured by the CRD apparatus (Drenovac, 1980, 1984). The sample consisted of 29 subjects in the control group and 29 hyper - thonic persons. The results showed a negative correlation between the degree of retinal changes and complex response reaction time. Increased peripheral blood pressure, however, was found to have a positive correlation with the reaction time, which is most probably due to the effect of increased muscular tension, while »expecting the stimulus« (Kahne- man, 1973). The results indicated a possibility of a positive relationship between high blood pressure and the speed of reaction during the central phase, and the negative correlation during the effector period
Problemi istraživanja self-koncepta, posebice self-koncepta mladih

Published: September 2018

The results of the previous researches of the self-concept were often controversial creating so some difficulties for comparison and verification. The resource of these deficiencies was in the definition of ithe self-concept which was imprecise and unlike and also in bad metric characteristics of the instruments involved in the research. After well-known researches like Wylie (1974 and 1979) the new researches, encouraged by those, were divided lin 3 groups. In the first group authors examined the metric characteristics of the well-known and long used scales and they also constructed new scales serving for the measurement of self-concept. Those examinations showed the untenableness of some aspects concerning the uni-dimension of the self-concept. The second group examined the theoretical consistency of the self-concept and its relations to the related psychological constructs. The third group worked on the self-concept of youth which was different from the previous and it also and the cross-cultural differences. These studies supported a comprehension of th eself-concept of youth which was different from tile previous and it also supported an idea of a construct being examined within his own culture and also with the instruments available in that culture.

Afrikanizacija kršćanskih teologija

African Christian theologies are more and more present in international theological dialogue. They represent an attempt at adaptation of the Gospel to African thought and life styles and support the specific development of Africa, the one respecting traditional ecclesiastical learning but making in the same time a new contributory effort at understanding the religious and cultural tradition of Africa. In a big part of Africa original African religions have been displaced by universal religious systems (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism) turned into dominant religions in Africa. But original African religions are coherent ;ind they don’t disappear but continue to exist even within the universal religious systems. Adaptation occurs on both sides, Christianity and Cristian theologies in particular appear to finti their specific manifestations exactly in African theologies.. To understand contemporary Christian theologies in Africa, original African religions must be comprehended which influence a new African theological Christian thought by their conception of man and the world. African theology influences Christianity by authentic African religious experience comprised in original African religions. A great number of African theologians consider their new theologies contribute to struggle for a complete liberation of the peoples of Africa as well as for creation of 'the new, more human society. The final document of the Pan-African theological conference emphasizes that African theology is faith in Christ - Liberator

During its history Dalmatia was lor many centuries ruled by different rules. During the Venetian rule (1409—1797) nobody took any care of the schools. City authorities in accordance to their material means opened city schools with teachers who were foreigners. Later home teachers taught also. During iltjs finst domination Austria (1797—1806) put the schools in charge of ithe church and the teaching was done in Italian. Long Venetian rule and short Austrian domination did not improve the school system so i,t is pointless to speak of school inspection in Dalmatia at that time. During the French domination in Dalmatia public schools were opened and the inspection was given to the »school department« (chief inspector was B. Benicas iz Zadar). During the second Austrian rule in Dalmatia which lasted for more than hundred years, that is, from Vienna congress in 1815 to the fall of Austria in the First world war in 1918, Austrian autohrities did not take great care, especially in the beginning, for primary schools and the teaching was done in Italian. However, from 1848 the conditions improved. After the victory of People’s party in different tonwswips the teaching in primary schools began to be conducted in »our«, that is, Croatian language. Regional school council became responsible for the work in primary schools and it introduced the system of inspectors. First inspectors were dr Miho Klaić, prof. Dragutin Bakotić, prof. Josip Peričić, prof. Antun Stroll and dr Antun Primožić. Although in the service of pro-Austrian rule, the regional school inspectors realized the needs of people for schools in their language so they sided with them in their struggle for national schools and Croatian language.

Published: September 2018

The encouragement and development of creativeness is one of the fundamental tasks of the artistic education of a child in the pre-schooling period. Playing as a form of activity enables the successful realisation of the task. lit gives the possibility of a more felxible and richer artistic expression of children. While playing children express themselves without restriction and freely, developing so their own creative potentials. Artistic activity accomplished while playing represents the free choice of a child. Freedom of expression as one of the main principles in work with children of the pre-schooling period, establishes itself precisely while playing. The child freely chooses the form and area of its artistic work, the artistic-technical means, the motives of its artistic expression, the place of performance and the duration of the artistic activity. While playing a child develops visual, emotional, intellectual and technical-expressive capacities that take part in the artistic expression. Modelling with different materials in its games a child expresses itself universally in art. Artistic activities in playing are accomplished in the atmosphere of initiativeness and capability and a mutual trust between the child and the educator which is an important condition for creative artistic expression of the pre-school child.

Breskinova skala rigidnosti
Authors: Proroković Ana
Published: September 2018

Breskin’s non-verbal scale of rigidity is based on gestalt principles of preferencies of different perceptive contents, resulting as a potential alternative to the existing, mainly indirect and verbal measures of this psychological construct. Since there are only a few data about psychometric characteristics of the scale, as well as the data about potential cross-cultural differences, the aim of this work was to test some psychometric features of Breskin’s scale of rigidity on the example of the Croatian examinees (reliability, sensitivity, validity). The scale was applied on the example of 348 examinees of both sexes, mostly at the age of 17 to 3O.The results showed single-factor structure of the scale, a relatively satisfying reliability of the internal consistency type and a considerably high retest reliability. The basic descriptive parameters and distribution of frequencies suggest the normal pattern and good scale discriminativeness. Factor of validity can also be considered satisfying, and some aspects of construct validity are evaluated through relations with theoretically relevant constructs (creativity, openness to experience, authoritarianism, and so-called normativistic orientation), indicate the existence of convergent validity.
Dobne specifičnosti integriteta s gledišta Eriksonove teorije psihosocijalnog razvoja
Authors: Lacković-Grgin Katica , Nekić Marina , Ćubela Vera
Published: September 2018

In investigation, which included 75 persons of both sexes from four age groups (adolescents, younger adults, middle-aged adults, and the elderly adults), it has been, on the example of integrity, Erikson's point of view that each component of personality characteristic for a particular stage of development is in a certain form present in a lifetime as an integral part of personality. Comparing the results of factor analyses of integrity scales (by G. Hawley) with subjects from the four named age groups, it can be concluded that there are age specific qualities of integrity. Those variations are consistent with Erikson's understanding that the basic subject of integrity is life evaluation. With adolescents and younger adults it is mostly evaluation of present, and with the elderly of past life. Besides, fragments whose contents indicate the shift from psychosocial towards existential identity are more important for middle- aged and older people than adolescents and younger adults. By multiple standard regression analyses the nature of relations of integrity with identity, intimacy and generativity has been investigated. With younger subjects these three components of personality considerably explain a higher percentage of integrity variance than with the older persons, indicating that with the younger ones integrity represents a more integrated system of personality components, and with older people it is a special entity, a characteristic component precisely for that age.
Usamljenost srednjoškolaca u domenama prijateljskih, obiteljskih i ljubavnih odnosa

Published: September 2018

In studying a group of 483 high-school students from Zadar, the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA, DiTommaso & Spinner, 1993) was administered to assess the level of loneliness in three domains: friendships, family, and romantic relationships.The main aim of the study was to examine if three scales of the SELSA could be used as reliable measures of these aspects of loneliness during this period of adolescence as well. The results suggest that social and family scales can be considered as reliable measures of adolescents' loneliness in friendships and family, whereas items of romantic scale defined two unrelated dimensions, labeled unsatisfaction with actual status and desire for intimacy. However, in some subgroups, these dimensions were positively or negatively associated, depending on subjects' gender, grade level, and/or actual romantic involvement. The pattern of correlations among the SELSA's scales, obtained in this sample, is in line with the previous research findings, suggesting that the assumed validity of the SELSA in assessing Weiss' concepts of social and emotional loneliness, has no adequate support in empirical data.
Različiti tipovi socijalnih i temporalnih usporedbi tijekom prilagodbe studiju
Authors: Ivanov Lozena , Penezić Zvjezdan
Published: September 2018

In this paper we wanted to define the connection between social and temporal comparisons with some indicators of positive and negative adaptation to study. Besides, we wanted to check the connection between social and temporal comparisons with some other variables which proved to be significant in the process of adaptation in the previous researches such as self-respect, self-efficiency, loneliness, and study burden. And finally, we were interested in whether the changes in the mentioned variables appear in the course of the first year of study. Two investigations were implemented on the example of the first year students in Zadar. The first in the second and the third week from the beginning of classes, and the second a month before the end of teaching in the same academic year. Significant connections of different types of social and temporal comparisons with indicators of positive, namely, negative adaptation have been defined, as well as with self-respect and general self-efficiency. We also found out that there were changes during the first year in consequences of such comparisons and they were more negative towards the end of schooling than at the beginning.
Durkheimova teorija religije kao teorija kulture
Authors: Čorić Ratko
Published: September 2018

Durkheim's interpretation of totemism as the most elementary religion, on whose foundation he draws a conclusion from religion in general, was exposed to numerous critiques, although the critics concede the stimulative power of Durkheim’s ideas. In this paper on the basis of these stimuli the author tries to interpret Durkheim’s theory of religion as a theory of culture. Following Durkheim's argumentation according to which religion is the basis of all social institutions, because its origin is in collective awareness, the author tries to transfer Durkheim's categorical pair sacred- prolane, which happens to be crucial in his definition of religion, into the categorical pair culture-nature, thus suggesting social foundations of cultural creativity. Il is particularly emphasized in Durkheim's theory of person, whereas the person is a constituent of two factors. The first one is the body which makes possible the individualization, but the soul as a collective principle, has the determinative importance in constitution o f the concept of a person.

Kitagawa, in this article I try to show how Wach's model of systematic typology of disciplines, known as Religionswissenxchaft or the "general study of religions", can be fruitfully used to bridge the gap between the historical and the systematic approach to studying retigion/s. In that sense, by following the track of some of Kitagawa's works, I develop the idea of a phenomenological-comparative approach to understanding the historical development of the religions of mankind (primitive religions, classical religions and modern world religions) to which three main types of religious experience correspond. At the same lime, the article implicitely wishes to point out the so called general problem of "understanding" religious experience and its manifestations within different disciplines, or in other terms, the necessity of harmonizing and coordinating the different specialist views and contributions to the exploration of religion/s within the historical and systematic areas, under the condition that the generally accepted criteria of interpretation may not exclude the theoretical-methodological hypotheses of any of the different disciplines.
Feministička metodologija kao posebna znanstvena disciplina
Authors: Leburić Anči , Zalović-Troskot Ivana
Published: September 2018

The authors in the text affirm the feminist methodology as a way of specific research conceiving and as a newer special scientific discipline. Feminist approaches use various methods in their empiric researches, but, at this point, only the methods which the feminist approaches developed more intensively and which were used more often, have been discussed. It means that those were the methods which were more universally improved. Amongst methodological approaches and methods often used by feminists, feminist interviews are mentioned, feminist etnography, feminist poll, feminist experiment, feminist content analysis and feminist case study. Consequently, the authors tried to elaborate the possibilities of specification not only of feminist methods, but of feminist research either.In the end, they conclude that being released from the limits of traditional science, feminist approaches, in fact, identify and conceive their methodological approaches in researches. That way new feminist methodologies will prevent androcentric scientific manipulation. They will develop those methodological approaches and strategies within which maximal flexibility will be allowed. It is precisely this feminist approach which provides for multimethodological approach. After all, methodological heterogeneousness will provide for researching into the greater content scale, and achievement of wider research aims. Also, feminist research is transdisciplinary, therefore, besides sociological and cultural many other fields can be included, such as history, literary critique, philosophy, legal sciences etc. The authors conclude that there is no doubt that feminist methodology will broaden its limits of the former traditional (social and humanistic) researches, precisely by the diversity of methods and methodological approaches, and by persistence in their usage, development and methodological improvement.

The aim of this research was to investigate how the students at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar perceive some aspects in the process of quality teaching. For the purspose of the research we constructed a questionnaire with 80 particles investigating perception of professors1 lectures, professors, seminars, exams, student-professor relations with an option to add a free comment on the theme. The research was conducted on the sample of 202 students of the second, third, and the fourth year of all college groups at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar, i.e. 15% of the target population. During the analysis of the results, we tested correlations between the particles, gender differences and the year of study, as well as the significance of differences between the situations perceived by students as real ones and those desired. Because of broadness and specific quality of the results, individual results were not underlined in the summary. Therefore ALL questions and percentages of the examinees' answers are presented in the Supplement 1.
Kriza moderniteta
Authors: Ivoš-Nikšić Erma , Marketin Suzana
Published: September 2018

The paper lakes as a starting point Gidden's thesis thal concurrently with the process of globalization kinship relations are being strengthened, local community attachment, religion and tradition, and in the process of modernization abstract system of bonds and relations do not represent any more the framework of ontological confidence since the local community particularly becomes an important place of security, the place where existential and social insecurity are more easily endured. Implementing the investigation of public opinion of women in the place of Pakoštane the authors conclude that locality is the place where, nevertheless, local and global influences are interwoven, that small places are not a protected oasis of assigned and quite strongly entrenched attitudes which do not change, and thal it is about a relevant but at the same time not about the most important habitat of personal security in the process of modernization. The investigation showed that in the Pakoštane case the order of main security centers is based, first of all, on kinship relations, tradition, religion, and only then on locality.

Strategije suočavanja, samopoštovanje i anksioznost kod djece s astmom
Authors: Moranduzzo Ivana , Vulić-Prtorić Anita
Published: September 2018

The paper presents investigation aimed at establishing the effects of chronic asthma with children and their everyday adaptation to health problems. Children at the age of 11 and 17 suffering from extrinsic type of asthma underwent examination. The results show that asthmatic children use and estimate active strategy as the most efficient one in confronting with health problems, revealing their capacity to control their illness through active confrontation. Significant relations, i.e. connections between anxiety and self-respect using strategies of confrontation with health problems, have not been defined in investigation.
Epistemology by experiment
Authors: Miščević Nenad
Published: September 2018

The naturalistic epistemology of individual knowledge should follow the procedure usual in the epistemology of science: generalize from suc- cesfull cognitive practices!In the case of naturalistic epistemology the data base — the cogitive practices it is supposed to generalize, are practices based on cognitive skills, like perceptual cognition, language acquisition and use and inference. This would then make cognitive psychology a guide for epistemology
Wittgenstein’s epistemological frame in »On Certainty«
Authors: Festini Heda
Published: September 2018

It is well known that Wittgenstein wasn't interested in epistemic claims (A. Gargani, 1982), or epistemology, not until the last years of his life (A, Kenny, 1973), when he wrote -On Certainty- [1950—51). Our task isn't to expose his answer to the sceptical question which he elaborated partly againsl, Moore and especially against Descartes though the last has not been mentioned. The theme of this paper is to investigate the possibility which the logico-syntactical approach of Wittgenstein’s philosophical grammar has for the principal epistemic terms, like belief and'knowledge.The analysis is guided by considering P. K. Moser's (1988) interpreta- tion of paragraph 253 from -On Certainly-. The result is that his critique of' doxastic theories in Pollock's classification (1986) of the contemporary epis- temological theories for unexhaustivity is not adequate, because the same lack Is shown by undoxastic theories.Through the epistemic terms like doubt, grond/ reason, foundation/ basis and those already mentioned, it follows that Wittgenstein's epistemological frame heads to direct realism, challenging the confusion in Pollock's classification, discovering the current of Wittgenstein's hints at the same time.'
The necessity of externalist justification
Authors: Markusović Arne
Published: September 2018

INTERNALISM as a theory of justified belief cannot solve the pro- blems of epistemological regress and scepticism. The privileged status strategy leads us either to external ism or to the position according to which all of our beliefs are equally justified or unjustified.If all of our beliefs are equally unjustified we are back to scepticism, and if all of them are equally justified then the privileged status strategy is tenable no more. The only plausible solution seems to be the externalist In- terpretation of justification according to which justification is a matter of external factors not necessarilly accessible to the believer. Among externa- list theories of justification congnitive process reliabilism seems to be the most promising.
