Feelings of being deprived in comparison to similar others have occupied authors from multiple disciplines, primarily as a potential predictor of various individual and societal outcomes, especially among youth. The present study, however, aims to explore whether this subjective relative deprivation, both individual and collective, can itself be predicted from particular personality variables, to shed more light on individual dispositions that lead to (un)favorable perceptions of contextual circumstances. Therefore, within the frame of Relative Deprivation Theory, this correlational study, including 735 participants recruited through the public educational system in Bosnia and Herzegovina (mean age 18.72; SD=1.54), indicated that lower levels of self-esteem and openness to experience, and higher levels of neuroticism and sensation-seeking are associated with higher relative deprivation. Canonical regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between personality and relative deprivation, deriving a significant canonical root (λ of .799, F(8,1384)=20.583, p=.000), accounting for 21% (rc=.444) of the variance shared between the variable sets. Personality traits’ contribution to the collective relative deprivation was lower than to the individual. The article analyzes the role that selected personality traits might play in the perception of one’s deprivation. Recommendations are given regarding future research to include a more diverse set of personality traits as predictors.

The study examines the effects of turbulent modernization of Bosnia and Herzegovina after World War II, which modified fundamentally the almost exclusively agrarian and strongly conservative rural society. The paper analyses how and to what extent socioeconomic changes affected not only the spatial distribution of population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also basic demographic components (natural movements and spatial mobility). Such changes resulted in geographical polarization of the population process during the socialist period, i.e. in significant differences between rural and urban areas. Different demographic behaviour and different mobility of Muslims, Serbs and Croats radically changed their numerical representation in the country. The growth in the numbers of Muslims and decrease in the numbers of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the time of political and economic collapse of Yugoslavia was one of the key factors, which inevitably contributed to the escalation of ethnic tensions and subsequent civil war.

Studie zkoumá dopady bouřlivého modernizačního vývoje Bosny a Hercegoviny po druhé světové válce, který zcela zásadně modifikoval původně téměř výhradně agrární a silně konzervativní venkovskou společnost. Příspěvek analyzuje, jakým způsobem a v jakém rozsahu socioekonomické změny ovlivnily nejen prostorové rozmístění obyvatel Bosny a Hercegoviny, ale i základní demografické komponenty (přirozený a územní pohyb obyvatelstva). V jejich důsledku se populační vývoj země začal v socialistickém období výrazně geograficky polarizovat v dichotomii město versus venkov. Odlišné demografické chování a rozdílná mobilita jednotlivých konstitutivních národů Muslimů, Srbů a Chorvatů současně v zemi markantně proměnily jejich početní zastoupení. Početní růst Muslimů a úbytek Srbů v Bosně a Hercegovině na pozadí politického a hospodářského kolapsu jugoslávské federace přitom představoval jeden z klíčových faktorů, jenž nevyhnutelně přispěl k výsledné eskalaci etnického napětí a následnému rozpoutání občanské války.
