Abstract

The aim of this research was to find out (1) whether social alienation, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and primary psychopathy are significant predictors of Daniel Bar-Tal & Dikla Antebi’s concept of general siege mentality (GSM), and (2) whether the components of the path model are invariant across different ethnic groups. The survey was carried out on the adult population in the region of eastern Croatia where live Croats and Serbian ethnic minority, and in the northern region of Serbia where live the members of Croatian ethnic minority (The Province of Vojvodina). The convenience and purposive sample consisted of 1431 full aged participants. Multiple-group analysis of structural invariance was used to test whether differences observed in the structural parameters across different ethnic groups are statistically significant.
