Sažetak
Prejudices are unfounded judgments and ideas about someone or something, and the connotations lean more toward the negative. The maritime industry represents a set of activities, skills, and social relations at sea or related to the sea. Thus, it is clear that there are several aspects of employment in the maritime industry: at sea and on land. This paper investigates and shows the potential existence of prejudices against the wives (partners) of seafarers who are aboard in the academic community intending to see if any exist and what are the differences in opinions between teaching and non-teaching academic staff. Since very little research has generally been conducted on the partners of seafarers as a demographic group, this paper tries to encourage further research on this topic. For that, a survey was conducted on 124 employees of the University of Split, of which 30 were teaching staff and 94 were non-teaching staff, and the results showed that 36.67% of the teaching staff believe that there are still prejudices against seafarers’ wives, and of that number, 27.27% think or were undecided that the happiest women are those married to seafarers, and 18.18% believe or have remained undecided how there is no unity in the seafarer’s family. On the other hand, of the 46.07% of non-teaching staff who believe that there are prejudices against seafarers’ wives, 34.15% believe or are undecided that the happiest women are those married to a seafarer, and 12.20% believe that there is no unity in a seafarer’s family with a large number of those who could not decide (43.90%). The results of the research showed that there are still significant prejudices against seafarers’ wives. Separation from her husband and constant change of routine along with the existence of prejudice about the ease of life of a seafarer’s wife further complicates the daily life of a seafarer’s wife and can contribute to additional unrealistic expectations and evaluations in the relationship between the seafarer-husband and the seafarer’s wife.
