Sažetak
This paper examines the relationship between Big Five personality factors and basic dimensions of social attitudes derived from two independent measures using a large sample of students in Croatia (N≈ 500). The goal of this research was to explore the relationship between the two psychological constructs in the context of contemporary theories. We used Goldberg’ s (1999) IPIP 100 scale as a measure of personality, validated in Croatia (Mlačić and Goldberg, 2007), while as measures of social attitudes we used two separate scales emerging from two different theoretical and methodological approaches. The first measure (LDS scale) created by Milas (2004), derived from Wilson-Patterson (1968) scale, and represented such dimensions as Religiousness, Cosmopolitism, Modernism, Sexual Freedoms and Labor Force Rights. The other measure, Sauciers ISMS scale, developed after the lexical research to personality and represented dimensions labeled as α , β , γ and δ . IPIP and LDS replicated expected five factor structures, while the analysis of ISMS followed the research by Saucier and extracted 3 and 4 factor structures, which are both represented in the paper. Personality dimensions of Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Intellect were moderately, however consistently, related to social attitudes. Regarding the LDS scale, the dimensions of Religiousness, Cosmopolitism and Sexual Freedoms had shown the highest correlations with personality dimensions, while the same effect was evident for Saucier’ s dimensions of α , β and a newly formed dimension of α γ . These findings replicate the previous research with LDS measure, but are significantly different from Saucier’ s results with similar measures.
