摘要：In this paper the authors examine the changes in the expressed degree of national pride and national attachment by comparing the results of surveys conducted on the Croatian representative sample in 1998 and 2002. Both surveys also examined the respondents' evaluation of the general situation in Croatia, their perception of major problems and achievements and satisfaction with the realization of Croatia's major goals. The results indicate that with the increase of pessimism and more negative evaluation of the situation in Croatia in 2002 there is also a decline in the expressed degree of national pride. However, a majority of Croatian citizens still expresses strong and positive national sentiments that spring mostly from Croatia's significant achievements in sports, national history and armed forces, and achievements in art and literature. On the other hand, results of both surveys show that the economic and political achievements of Croatia do not elicit feelings of national pride, most probably due to lasting economic, social and political problems of the country. The examined differences in the expressed national pride with regard to sociodemographic characteristics confirm previous results: national pride is significantly lower in members of the younger generation, those who are better educated, and in urban residents.
