Mračna tetrada, stavovi o ratu i miru, militantni ekstremizam i šizotipije kao prediktori stavova o samožrtvovanju selefija u Bosni i Hercegovini
Dark Tetrad, Attitudes about War and Peace, Militant Extremism and Schizotypes as Predictors of Attitudes about Self-sacrifice of Salafis in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to determine the extent to which some personality traits (dark tetrad), attitudes about war and peace, militant extremism and schizotypy are related to the attitudes of Salafis about self-sacrifice We define self-sacrifice or martyrdom, which we will use as synonyms, as the psychological readiness to sacrifice something very valuable, and even one's own life, for some reason, but that reason must be socially important. The research was conducted in the second half of 2017 on a sample of 317 respondents from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who classify themselves as Salafis. The obtained results show that personality traits are not significantly related to attitudes about self-sacrifice and that the attitudes of Salafis regarding war and their perception of the world in which they live are much more significant. Attitudes towards war stand out as the most important variable in relation to all the other variables we have measured, followed by attitudes about accepting conspiracy theories, apologies for violence and the sacred goal as part of the scale of militant extremism. Of course, one should be careful here in the interpretation of the obtained results, having in mind their way of life and interpretation of Islam, but also specific positions within BiH society.
