摘要：By applying the method of a face to face questionnaire on a probability sample of 1248 adult Croatian citizens, the correlation between the basic personality traits, measured with three- -factor IPIP scales, and some aspects of political behaviour, has been examined. The relationship among variables was analysed by means of regression analyses isolated from factors such as demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status and attitudes represented. The research indicates that political preferences are unsignificantly correlated with the basic personality dimensions. Agreeableness helps in explaining the intention to vote for the SDP, extraversion in explaining the intention to vote for the HNS, while intellect plays a role in explaining the general political standpoint. Almost complete independence of political behaviour from the basic personality dimensions has been discussed in view of three hypotheses, that this is the result of a true situation or a cultural or methodological artefact.
