Mladi i povijest. Odnos prema povijesti i povijesna svijest
Young People and History. Historical Awareness and the Attitude Towards History

Summary/Abstract: From an extensive comparative study conducted in 27 European countries about the attitude of young people towards history, the winnowed variables show the attitude towards history and the causes of historical changes as well as the attitude towards nation and religion. The results (obtained from a sample including 1,025 Croatian high-school first-graders) show that the attitudes of young people towards history do not significantly differ from those in other European countries. However, the interest of young people for national problems, national communities and religions has increased. The attitude towards history is shaped by the factors that homogenize the living space of young people.
