The Werther Effect and Journalism Ethics: The Perception of Media Coverage of Suicides in Society
No full textOvaj rad istražuje utjecaj medijskog izvještavanja o samoubojstvima na ponašanje publike, s posebnim naglaskom na Wertherov i Papageno efekt. Wertherov efekt odnosi se na povećanje stope samoubojstava nakon senzacionalističkog izvještavanja, dok Papageno efekt predstavlja suprotni fenomen, gdje odgovorno izvještavanje može smanjiti rizik od samoubojstava i potaknuti ljude na traženje pomoći. U radu se analiziraju različiti teorijski okviri kako bi se dublje razumjeli mehanizmi putem kojih mediji utječu na ponašanje publike. Kroz pregled relevantnih empirijskih studija i primjera iz prakse, rad identificira ključne smjernice za etično izvještavanje o samoubojstvima. Zaključci ovog rada ukazuju na važnost kontinuirane edukacije novinara i prilagodbe smjernica kako bi se spriječili negativni učinci neodgovornog izvještavanja i promovirale zdrave medijske prakse koje doprinose javnom zdravlju.This paper examines the impact of media reporting on suicides on audience behavior, with a particular focus on the Werther and Papageno effects. The Werther effect refers to an increase in suicide rates following sensationalist reporting, while the Papageno effect represents the opposite phenomenon, where responsible reporting can reduce the risk of suicide and encourage individuals to seek help. The paper analyzes various theoretical frameworks to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which the media influences audience behavior. Through a review of relevant empirical studies and practical examples, the paper identifies key guidelines for ethical reporting on suicides. The conclusions of this paper highlight the importance of continuous journalist education and the adaptation of guidelines to prevent the negative effects of irresponsible reporting and to promote healthy media practices that contribute to public health
Generational aspects of LGBT label construction in Croatian society
No full textLGBT zajednica kao pojam već dugo postoji, a u hrvatskom društvu u upotrebi je od 70-ih godina prošlog stoljeća. Kroz godine, LGBT zajednica susretala se s brojnim usponima i padovima, a u tome su značajnu ulogu imale brojne generacije ljudi koje su ili podržavale ili kritizirale njenu prisutnost u društvenoj sferi. Općenito gledajući, jasno je da generacijske razlike postoje i da su one rezultat brojnih čimbenika, a svi oni su odraz vremenskog razdoblja i okoline u kojoj je generacija odrastala. U istraživanjima o LGBT zajednici najviše se govori o pravima homoseksualnih osoba i nasilju usmjerenom prema LGBT zajednici, dok je malo istraživanja koja u obzir uzimaju generacijske faktore i razlike koje proizlaze iz toga. Za potrebe završnog rada provedeno je istraživanje putem anketnog upitnika i intervjua kako bi se dobilo uvid u stavove građana Republike Hrvatske različitih generacija o LGBT zajednici i načinu na koji generacijski jaz doprinosi stvaranju etikete i stigme u vezi LGBT zajednice, ali i uvid u iskustva pripadnika LGBT zajednice u pogledu (ne)prihvaćenosti, diskriminacije i očekivanja u kontekstu hrvatskog društva.LGBT community as a term has existed for a long time, and in Croatian society it has been in use since the 70s of the last century. Throughout the years, the LGBT community has faced numerous ups and downs, and numerous generations of people who either supported or criticized its presence in the social sphere played a significant role in that. In general, it is clear that generational differences exist and that they are the result of numerous factors, all of which are a reflection of the time period and environment in which the generation grew up. In research on the LGBT community, most of the talk is about the rights of homosexuals and violence directed towards the LGBT community, while there is little research that takes into account generational factors and the resulting differences. For the purposes of the final paper, research was conducted through a questionnaire and interviews in order to gain insight into the attitudes of citizens of the Republic of Croatia of different generations about the LGBT community and the way in which the generation gap contributes to the creation of label and stigma regarding the LGBT community, as well as insight into the experiences of members of the LGBT community in terms of (un)acceptance, discrimination, and expectations in the context of Croatian society
The Influence of the Internet on the Language of Young People
No full textGeneracija Z jest generacija mladih rođenih od 1995. do 2010. godine, a njihov je život u potpunosti obilježen internetom i društvenim mrežama. Pojavom interneta, generacija Z gubi pojam o komunikaciji „licem u lice“. Tijekom stvaranja i razvoja svojih virtualnih identiteta na internetu i društvenim mrežama, bili su pokretači i usvojitelji velikih jezičnih promjena koje nam se danas čine sasvim normalne. Od anglizama, skraćenica, žargonizama do emotikona, memova, hashtagova čije korištenje je uvelike olakšalo komunikaciju i korištenje interneta i društvenih mreža. Jezične promjene na koje oni utječu i kojima se koriste, često su nepoznate starijima. Oni su sposobni pomno pratiti sve promjene u jeziku koje se brzo mijenjaju, a vrlo brzo i prihvaćaju nove promjene zbog kojih stare ponekad odlaze u zaborav. Zajednice koje formiraju imaju individualna jezična obilježja, a time žele zadržati svoju jedinstvenost kako se obilježja ne bi miješala s ostalim zajednicama koje imaju drugačije interese i potrebe.Generation Z is the generation of young people born from 1995 to 2010, and their lives are completely marked by the Internet and social networks. With the appearance of the Internet, generation Z loses the concept of face-to-face communication. During the creation and development of their virtual identities on the Internet and social networks, they were the initiators and adopters of major language changes that seem quite normal to us today. From anglicisms, abbreviations, jargonisms to emoticons, memes, hashtags, the use of which has greatly facilitated communication and the use of the Internet and social networks. The language changes that they influence and use are often unknown to the elderly. They are capable of closely following all the changes in the language that change rapidly and very quickly they accept new changes, due to which the old ones sometimes go into oblivion. The communities they form have individual linguistic characteristics, and thus they want to maintain their uniqueness so that the characteristics do not mix with other communities that have different interests and needs
Political Biography of Josip Broz Tito
No full textTema ovog rada je politička biografija Josipa Broza Tita, jedne od najznačajnijih osoba u povijesti Jugoslavije. Njegov životni put započinje u rodnom selu Kumrovcu odakle odlazi u grad na školovanje. U svom političkom usponu, Josip Broz se iz vođe gerilskog pokreta razvio u moćnog državnika koji je oblikovao sudbinu Jugoslavije nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Ključan trenutak bio je dogovor s Ivanom Šubašićem, čime je postavljen temelj za federativno uređenje nove države. Također tadašnji razgovori s Winstonom Churchillom dodatno su učvrstili međunarodni legitimitet Tita i njegove nove vlasti, unatoč kasnijem neslaganju sa Staljinom. Nakon rata, Tito je izgradio socijalističku državu kroz niz radikalnih reformi, uključujući nacionalizaciju i agrarnu reformu. Istodobno, je konsolidirao vlast uklanjanjem monarhije i formiranjem nove vlade, koristeći izbore za Ustavotvornu skupštinu 1945. godine kao ključni trenutak za formalizaciju svoje vlasti i uspostavu Federativne Narodne Republike Jugoslavije. Uvođenje socijalističkog sustava u Jugoslaviji bilo je obilježeno ambicioznim ekonomskim reformama i planovima, kao što je bio petogodišnji plan razvoja narodne privrede, ali i izazovima koji su pratili taj proces. Tito je također pokušavao uspostaviti bliske odnose sa susjednim zemljama, poput Albanije i Bugarske, te se pozicionirao unutar istočnog bloka, što je nakraju dovelo do složenih međunarodnih odnosa. Možemo reći da je Broz unatoč svim izazovima, uspješno održao stabilnost Jugoslavije i njen međunarodni položaj.The subject of this paper is the political biography of Josip Broz Tito, one of the most significant
figures in the history of Yugoslavia. His life journey begins in his native village of Kumrovac,
from where he goes to the city to study.
In his political rise, Josip Broz developed from the leader of the guerrilla movement into a
powerful statesman who shaped the destiny of Yugoslavia after the Second World War. The key
moment was the agreement with Ivan Šubasic, which laid the foundation for the federal
organization of the new state. Also, the talks with Winston Churchill at the time further
strengthened the international legitimacy of Tito and his new government, despite later
disagreements with Stalin.
After the war. Tito built a socialist state through a series of radical reforms, including
nationalization and agrarian reform. At the same time, he consolidated power by removing the
monarchy and forming a new government, using the Constituent Assembly elections in 1945 as a
key moment to formalize his rule and establish the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.
The introduction of the socialist system in Yugoslavia was marked by ambitious economic
reforms and plans, such as the five-year plan for the development of the national economy, but
also by the challenges that accompanied that process. Tito also tried to establish close relations
with neighboring countries, such as Albania and Bulgaria, and positioned himself within the
Eastern Bloc, which eventually led to complex international relations. We can say that despite all
the challenges, Broz successfully maintained the stability of Yugoslavia and its international
position
The role of social media after a romantic relationship breakup - a qualitative approach
No full textOnline nadgledanje nakon prekida romantičnog odnosa je danas sve češća pojava kojom ljudi
nastoje reducirati za to razdoblje karakteristične osjećaje nesigurnosti i zbunjenosti. O
navedenoj pojavi ne postoji mnogo istraživanja, posebice na hrvatskoj populaciji zbog čega se
u ovom istraživanju korištenjem kvalitativne metodologije nastojao steći uvid u proces online
nadgledanja te njegove posljedice. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je steći dublji uvid u proces
razmišljanja osoba koje su sklone online nadgledanju te otkriti neke posljedice ovakvog
ponašanja na dobrobit pojedinaca i njihov proces prebolijevanja. U istraživanju je provedeno
devet polustrukturiranih intervjua sa sudionicama mlađe odrasle dobi, pri čemu se dob
sudionica kretala između 23 i 32. Provedbom tematske analize na prikupljenim odgovorima
sudionica, identificirano je 15 različitih tema koje se mogu svrstati u tri kategorije: Doživljaj
prekida, Online nadgledanje i Objavljivanje s namjerom. U okviru razumijevanja doživljaja
prekida, identificirane su teme Zatišje pred buru i Poslije svega, koju opisuju sljedeće
podteme: Prva pomoć, Bijeg od problema, Iz grešaka se uči, Zar sve živimo isti život? i
Zaljubila sam se u sebe. Drugo područje kojim je opisano online nadgledanje obuhvaća
sljedeće teme: Umreženost zvana „followanje“, Online detektivke, Znatiželja ubila mačku, Što
se krije u muškoj glavi, Što to on ima, a ja nemam?, Ti i ja smo sada stranci, Sve me boli od
tebe, Želim da si dobro te Korak naprijed, tri unazad. U okviru područja Objavljivanje s
namjerom identificirane su sljedeće teme: Bez tebe bolje sam...ili?, Osveta je slatka, Uvid u
moj život te Činim li pravu stvar? Sudionice su kao glavne motive za praćenje navodile
znatiželju, analiziranje misli bivšeg partnera te usporedbu te su smatrale kako praćenje
nazaduje proces prebolijevanja. Nalazi provedenog istraživanja pružaju vrijedan uvid u proces
razmišljanja osoba koje su sklone korištenju društvenih mreža kao strategiju suočavanja
nakon prekida.Online surveillance following the dissolution of a romantic relationship is increasingly
common today, as people try to reduce the feelings of uncertainty and confusion that can
characterize that period. There isn't many research on this phenomenon, especially in the
Croatian population, which is why this study aimed to gain insight into the process of online
surveillance and its consequences using qualitative methodology. The aim of this research was
to gain a deeper understanding of the thought processes of individuals prone to online
surveillance and to uncover some of the consequences of this behavior on individuals' wellbeing and their process of moving on. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with
young adult female participants, aged between 23 and 32. By conducting thematic analysis on
the collected responses, 15 different themes were identified, which can be categorized into
three categories: Experience of Breakup, Online Surveillance, and Intentional Posting. Within
the understanding of the breakup experience, the identified themes were Calm Before the
Storm and After Everything, which is described by the following subthemes: First Aid,
Escaping Problems, Learning from Mistakes, Are We All Living the same Life?, and I Fell in
Love with Myself. The second identified area reffers to online surveillance and includes the
following themes: Networked Called “Following”, Online Detectives, Curiosity Killed the
Cat, What’s Hidden in a Man’s Head, What Does He Have That I Don’t?, You and I Are
Strangers Now, Everything Hurts Because of You, I Want You to Be Okay, and One Step
Forward, Three Steps Back. Within the area that reffers to Intentional Posting, the following
themes were identified: Better Without You...Or?, Revenge Is Sweet, Insight into My Life, and
Am I Doing the Right Thing? Participants cited curiosity, analyzing the ex-partner’s thoughts,
and comparison as the main motives for surveillance and believed that this behavior hinders
the process of moving on. The findings of the conducted research provide valuable insight
into the thought processes of individuals who tend to use social networks as a coping strategy
after a breakup

Determinants of motivation for parenthood among young adult women
No full textU suvremenom društvu dolazi do brojnih demografskih promjena poput manje stope fertiliteta, povećanja starosti majke pri porodu i obitelji koje nemaju djecu. Navedene promjene najčešće se promatraju iz društvene perspektive, dok se zanemaruju individualne razlike koje pridonose donošenju odluka o imanju djece. Zato je cilj ovog istraživanja ispitati ulogu nekih psihološki varijabli, s naglaskom na privrženost i emocionalnu inteligenciju, u motivaciji za roditeljstvo na uzorku hrvatskih studentica. U online istraživanju sudjelovalo je 234 studentice Sveučilišta u Zagrebu koje su ispunjavale upitnike i skale o sociodemografskim podacima, religioznosti, privrženosti odraslih u bliskim odnosima, emocionalnim kompetencijama i želji za rađanje djece. Statističkim analizama utvrđeno je kako studentice imaju umjerenu razinu pozitivne i negativne motivacije za roditeljstvo te kako su navedene motivacije jednako izražene. Pozitivna motivacija za roditeljstvom pozitivno je povezana s religioznosti te je dobivena vrlo niska korelacija s emocionalnom inteligencija i sposobnosti uočavanja i razumijevanja emocija. Negativna motivacija za roditeljstvo pozitivno je povezana s dimenzijom anksioznosti, a negativno povezana je s religioznosti, emocionalnom inteligencijom i sposobnostima uočavanja i razumijevanja emocija, izražavanja i imenovanja emocija te regulacijom i upravljanjem emocijama. Značajni prediktori i pozitivne i negativne motivacije za roditeljstvo pokazali su se jednino religioznost i sposobnost regulacije i upravljanja emocijama. Većina studentica želi imati dvoje djece, ali podržavaju odluku drugih žena da nemaju djecu. Smatraju kako je idealna dob za rađanje prvog djeteta u rasponu od 25 i 29 godina. Demografske mjere koje su prepoznale kao najvažnije su osiguravanje zdravstvene zaštite majke i djeteta, subvencioniranje stambenog kredita ili podstanarstva te mjeru poticanja očeva da se aktivnije uključe u skrb o dojenčadi.In modern society, numerous demographic changes are occurring such as lower fertility rates, an increase in the age of mothers at childbirth, and bigger number of families without children. These changes are most often viewed from a social perspective, while individual differences that contribute to decisions about having children are overlooked. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the role of certain psychological variables, with an emphasis on attachment and emotional intelligence in the motivation for parenthood among a sample of Croatian female students. A total of 234 female students from the University of Zagreb participated in an online survey, completing questionnaires and scales on sociodemographic data, religiosity, adult attachment in close relationships, emotional competencies, and the desire to have children. Statistical analyses revealed that the students had a moderate level of both positive and negative motivation for parenthood, with these motivations being equally expressed. Positive motivation for parenthood was positively correlated with religiosity and a very low correlation was found with emotional intelligence and the ability to perceive and understand emotions. Negative motivation for parenthood was positively correlated with the dimension of anxiety and negatively correlated with religiosity, emotional intelligence, the ability to perceive and understand emotions, the expression and naming emotions and the regulation and management of emotions. Significant predictors of both positive and negative motivation for parenthood were found to be religiosity and the ability to regulate and manage emotions. Most of the students expressed a desire to have two children, but supported the decision of other women not to have children. They considered the ideal age for having a first child to be between 25 and 29 years. The demographic measures they identified as most important included ensuring healthcare for mother and child, subsidizing housing loans or rent and encouraging fathers to become more actively involved in the care of infants
