Sažetak
Personality scores of Croatian men and women by age, occupation, education, satisfaction of life needs, and religion were examined. 842 men and 242 women whose mean age was 42 yr. (SD, 8) represented manual labor, clerical work, and management. Employees were administered the Emotions Profile Index and a test of Life Needs Satisfaction. The Croatian women scored lower on Distrustful and Dyscontrol than the Croatian men and higher on Depression and Gregarious. Scores on Aggression, Depression, and Gregarious varied across age groups. The Reproduction scores of sociable and affectionate were significantly higher for managers and persons with university education. The religious employees scored higher on Depression than nonreligious persons. The Reproduction scores were significantly positively associated with all needs satisfaction scores. The Destruction scores (Aggression, Depression) were significantly negatively associated with most life needs satisfactions. The present analysis suggests men and women from Croatian groups have different personality profiles. Correlations of emotional scores with ages, occupations, education, life needs satisfaction, and religion could help in modification toward positive emotional dimensions.
