Abstract

Cilj. Glavni cilj istraživanja jest pokušaj da se pronađe empirijski odgovor na pitanje: prave li bivši studenti u odnosu prema studenticama razlike u percepciji osobina profesora i profesorica na fakultetima? Problemi istraživanja bili su: kako ispitanici u odnosu prema ispitanicama procjenjuju različite karakteristike profesora i profesorica na fakultetima ; procjenjuju li ispitanici u odnosu prema ispitanicama različito karakteristike: i profesora i profesorica zajedno, samo karakteristike profesora i samo karakteristike profesorica ; procjenjuju li ispitanici u odnosu prema ispitanicama različito karakteristike profesora i profesorica povezane s komunikacijskim sposobnostima i vještinama, odnosno sa znanstvenim aspektom rada ; procjenjuju li ispitanici koji su psiholozi u odnosu prema onima koji nisu psiholozi različito karakteristike: i profesora i profesorica zajedno, samo karakteristike profesora i samo karakteristike profesorica .Metode. Ispitanici u istraživanju bili su ljudi sa završenom visokoškolskom spremom , koji su diplomirali na različitim fakultetima u Hrvatskoj. Razlikovali su se u odnosu prema dobi, spolu i vrsti studija , te razini obrazovanja. Ispitanici su procjenjivali prvo karakteristike profesora, a zatim profesorica na fakultetima na temelju istih karakteristika iz knjige slovenskog psihologa Vida Pečjaka.Rezultati i zaključci. I ispitanice i ispitanici skloniji su percipirati kao nešto poželjnije karakteristike koje imaju profesorice ; ispitanici u odnosu prema ispitanicama nisu skloni procjenjivati različito ni karakteristike profesora ni profesorica, niti sve karakteristike zajedno ; ispitanici u odnosu prema ispitanicama podjednako procjenjuju karakteristike profesora i profesorica povezane s komunikacijskim sposobnostima i vještinama, a ispitanice u odnosu prema ispitanicima procjenjuju da profesori obaju spolova imaju nešto poželjnije karakteristike povezane sa znanstvenim aspektom rada ; ispitanici koji su psiholozi u odnosu prema nepsiholozima nisu skloni procjenjivati različito ni karakteristike profesora ni profesorica, niti sve karakteristike zajedno .Aim. The main purpose of the research is an attempt to find an empirical answer to the question: do former students of both genders perceive differently the characteristics of male and female university professors? The problems of the research were to establish: how do male and female examinees judge the different characteristics of professors of both genders ; whether the examinees of different genders judge the characteristics of male and female professors differently ; if the examinees of different genders evaluate the attributes of male and female professors related to communication skills and abilities, in other words, with the scientific aspect of work ; do examinees from different faculties evaluate the characteristics of male and female professors .Methods. The interviewees in the research were all people with university education . The differences between them were age, gender and the type of academic studies , and level of education. The examinees were evaluating the characteristics of male and female university professors based on characteristics lists from the book of the Slovenian psychologist Vid Pečjak.Results and conclusions. Both male and female examinees are more inclined to perceive the features of female professors as more prominent ; neither male nor female examinees tend to judge professors of different genders dissimilarly ; examinees of different genders evaluate the attributes of male and female professors tied to communication skills and abilities in the same manner , and in a different manner the characteristics of male and female professors connected to the scientific aspect of work ; former students of socially-humanistic faculties when compared to former students of other faculties equally evaluate the characteristics of the male, but not those of the female professors, whilst former students of psychology in comparison to former students of other faculties equally judge the attributes of both male and female professors
