  • Observing and predicting traditionalism on the basis of confessional belonging in the (former) Yugoslavia, 1986 and 2009
    Flere, Sergej
    Differences in traditionalism value constructs are studied in the (former) Yugoslavia, 1986 and 2009. In the mean time both socialism and the Yugoslav state disappeared, followed by wars. In view of ... Huntingtons (1994), Meštrović et al.'s (1993) and Tomka's (2006) assertions, traditionalism would peak among Muslims and be followed among the Orthodox, owing to the immanent properties of these religions. Significant differences in the means for these constructs are found among members of the observed confessions. In the first time instance, the Orthodox are somewhat more inclined toward the traditionalist stands in comparison to Catholics and Muslims, whereas in 2009 the Muslims clearly peak. Differences between the Orthodox and the Catholics in 2009 are not significant. In a regression model, at the second time instance, confessional belonging, does not predict the magnitude of traditionalism, except for Muslims. Authoritarianism proves the strongest predictor of traditionalism. The wars following Yugoslav dissolution, affecting Muslims most gravely suffice to explain the findings by the Durkheimian paradox, on the one hand, and by differences in the level of modernization on the other, althought the invoking cultural essentialist explanation is not explicity rejected.
