PROVJERA VIŠEKOMPONENTNOG MODELA MEĐUGRUPNIH STAVOVA I PRATEĆIH MJERA OTVORENOG TIPA
TESTING THE MULTICOMPONENT MODEL OF INTERGROUP ATTITUDES AND ACCOMPANIED OPEN-ENDED MEASURES

Summary/Abstract: According to the multicomponent model of intergroup attitudes our attitudes towards groups are based on emotions toward group members, beliefs about specific characteristics of members of the social group and beliefs about which values are promoted or blocked by the group members. The first aim of this study was to check the validity and reliability of the open-ended measures for assessing components of attitudes towards groups, and the second aim was to test the multicomponent model of intergroup attitudes. The study examined attitudes toward two groups as attitude objects. General attitude was assessed by semantic differential scales. On the bases of data analysis with regard to the content and favorability of subjects’ (N=119) free-responses it was concluded that open-ended measures are valid indicators of attitudinal components. The split-half reliability of open ended measures are satisfactory although lower than mean reliability indices found in literature.
