Abstract

Beskućništvo je složen fenomen koji je povezan sa socijalnim, ekonomskim i psihološkim faktorima te se javlja u brojnim društvima u svijetu. U radu je prikazano istraživanje kojem je cilj ispitati stavove studenata prema beskućnicima s obzirom na doticaj s njima te istražiti postoje li razlike u stavovima između studenata koji studiraju na društveno-humanističkim područjima i ostalim studijskim područjima, te postoje li razlike u stavovima prema drugim obilježjima kao što su spol i mjesto stanovanja. Rezultati su potvrdili teoriju međugrupnog kontakta, odnosno pokazalo se da je važna vrsta kontakta s drugom skupinom. Pokazalo se da indirektni doticaj s beskućnicima kroz informacije iz različitih medija ili okoline te indirektno promatranje bez interakcije ne pridonosi smanjenju predrasuda prema beskućnicima, dok direktna interakcija poput volontiranja te pripadanje toj skupini ili poznanstvo s beskućnicima pridonosi manjoj stigmatizaciji i pozitivnim stavovima. Studenti društveno-humanističkih studija iskazali su pozitivnije stavove prema beskućnicima u usporedbi sa studentima ostalih studijskih usmjerenja.

Abstract (english)

: Homelessness is a complex phenomenon linked to social, economic, and psychological factors, and it occurs in various societies around the world. This study presents research aimed at examining students' attitudes towards homeless people, considering their level of contact with them. It also investigates whether there are differences in attitudes between students studying in the social sciences and humanities fields compared to those in other academic disciplines, as well as whether attitudes differ based on other characteristics such as gender and place of residence. The results confirmed the intergroup contact theory, highlighting the importance of the type of contact with the other group. It was found that indirect contact with homeless individuals through information from various media or passive observation without interaction does not contribute to reducing prejudice against the homeless. In contrast, direct interaction, such as volunteering, belonging to that group, or having acquaintances among homeless people, contributes to less stigmatization and more positive attitudes. Students in social sciences and humanities programs expressed more positive attitudes towards homeless individuals compared to students in other academic fieds.
