ATTACHEMENT IN THE STUDENTS FROM THE TOWNS OF THE FORMER SFRY
ATTACHEMENT IN THE STUDENTS FROM THE TOWNS OF THE FORMER SFRY

Summary/Abstract: The motive for research is the assumption about the existence of cross-cultural differences between the young people in the towns of present day different countries (Republic of Srpska, FYR of Macedonia and Serbia), but once collective: SFRY. Having assumed that the transitional occurrences during the nineties had marked differently the generations which grew up at the time, we decided to check the existence of possible differences, based on the available samples in three towns of the former SFRY, in one of the relevant aspects: the quality of attachment. The sample was comprised of male and female students (N=247) from Banja Luka, Skopje and Niš. The instrument for the assessment of the attachment quality (UPIPAV-R, Hanak, 2004) and the List of basic socio-demographic data were applied. The results corroborate the expectation that there are differences between domestic and foreign distributions, warning of the increasing percentage of the subjects with fearful attachment. Furthermore, the results confirm the expectation that there are also differences between the samples in the tested towns. We have tried to interpret the acquired differences in relation to the diversity of the contexts in which the young people grew up.
