Economic, technological and societal trends have switched the model of (online) journalism so that it is focused on the immediacy and volume that has resulted in a lower level of accuracy. To retain a critical function in a democracy, that model needs a corresponding error correction practice. In this study, we used content analysis to investigate how the Croatian online media correct errors, and how their correction practices differ according to the types of online media. The results demonstrate that errors in action or meaning (N = 217) were 67.8% of all errors, that the most common way of correcting errors was by posting an independent note about an error that was linked to the article (59%, N = 188), and that the correction notes were linked to uncorrected articles in 85.1% (N = 159) of cases. The findings showed that the only statistically significant difference between traditional and online media were the correction labelling practice and the location of the corrections.

The attitudes of local communities towards the development of dark tourism are still underexplored. This thorough analysis of the scientific knowledge available in renowned databases in the period from 2013 to 2019 aims at explaining the role of local communities in dark tourism, the advantages and disadvantages of its development, and the understanding of the conditions needed for its acceptance and support. The analysis has determined that every practice of dark tourism is conditioned by the context within which it was created, and that it has economic, socio-cultural and environmental advantages and disadvantages. The support of the local community for the development of dark tourism is crucial for its continuous existence, and it can depend on the management strategies and the benefits that dark tourism provides. The research results contribute to the corpus of literature, and may inform strategic guidelines for dark tourism management, as well as benefit the wider community through awareness of the necessity of prevention of tragic events. Further research on the topic should create management strategies of dark tourism that are acceptable to local communities.

Problematic use of the Internet (PUI) generally refers to use of different types of Internet content which is not under control and leads to difficulties in everyday functioning. It involves generalised PUI but also specific forms such as problematic use of videogames, social media, and pornography. The main aim of this paper is to offer a basic review of current trends in defining, measurement and research of PUI. The review of available papers points at methodological problems related to determining the prevalence of PUI, and insufficient direct investigation of postulates of existing models regarding the onset and maintenance of PUI. Moreover, this paper offers a critical review of existing instruments for measuring PUI and its specific forms, and recommends the most appropriate instruments. A short review of PUI research methodology and important findings is given. Finally, guidelines for future research in this area are provided, which enable us to investigate these phenomena of contemporary society in a comprehensive and sound way.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors affecting reform patterns in Croatia in order to identify the main reasons for the (missing) reform success so far. The focus is on the analysis of the political system, especially on government fragmentation as one of the main features of proportional electoral rule and clientelism. In addition to political variables, economic factors are analysed as well. The obtained results show that reforms in Croatia were implemented during crises, that coalition governments are not conducive to reforms and that clientelism and corruption present significant obstacles for reform implementation in Croatia. Moreover, the results show that political cycles also have a significant effect, with reform activity slowing down as elections approach. This article contributes to the burgeoning debate on reform implementation (in the post-socialist societies) from the political economy perspective.

The book by Karl Bruckmeier, a professor of economics, entitled "Economics and Sustainability: Social-Ecological Perspectives" published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2020, demonstrates the importance of economic knowledge for a broader discourse of environmental sustainability, broadening the subject matter of environmental policy. The book provides the reader with an overview of economic perspectives on sustainability. It establishes a social-ecological framework and an economic framework. Through the three temporal spectra, it integrates the past, the present and the future into the said framework, covering economics, ecology and other interdisciplinary studies and research necessary to ensure sustainability. The book "Economics and Sustainability: Social-Ecological Perspectives" offers a broad base of the knowledge of the social, economic, political, cultural and ecological transformation processes necessary to achieve sustainability. The necessity of carrying out the collective actions of the entire society and formal institutions in the form of global governance, which above all requires a knowledge of modern society and how it interacts with nature, is also pointed out in the book. The book is primarily intended for researchers in the field of sustainability and economics, students in master's studies and PhD students, as well as experts in sustainable management. Karl Bruckmeier is a professor at the Department of Sociology of National Research University – The Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia. Before this position, he was a professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, where he taught human ecology. The book is organised into three parts with 10 chapters. The core chapters of the first part of the book entitled "The Sustainability Process: Context and Scope" are "The Policy Context of the Sustainability Discourse" (Chapter One), "The Historical Context: Sustainability in Modern Society" (Chapter Two), and "The Knowledge Context of the Sustainability Discourse" (Chapter Three). In this part of the book, the author introduces various themes by which he shapes the base of the knowledge needed to understand the concept of sustainability and creates the platform of economic, ecological and interdisciplinary research. The policy context of sustainability addressing its political and historical context is given in this part of the book. The second part of the book entitled "Economic and Ecological Knowledge in the Sustainability Process" is structured into the following chapters: "Economics Outright: Management of Natural Resources" (Chapter Four), "Environmental Economics: Orthodox Perspectives" (Chapter Five), "Ecological Economics: Critical Perspectives" (Chapter Six), and "Conflict, Relapse and Failure in the Sustainability Process: Neglected Problems" (Chapter Seven). This part is dedicated to the presentation of an overview of the core economic subject matter important for sustainable development, such as natural resource manage

The goal of this research is to shed additional light on the internationalisation of scholarly publishing in Croatia through research based on the bibliometric analysis of the journal Društvena Istraživanja (DI). The first part of this research is dedicated to bibliometric analysis of DI since its conception in 1992, while the second part discusses the internationalisation of scientific journals in Croatia, relying on the critical analysis of relevant literature and the bibliometric characteristics of DI. The results of this research call into question the relevance of the existing scientific publishing policy to contribute to quality research papers and their internationalisation. The research provides implications for both editorial and publishing policies, as well as science policies in general.

The aim of this study was to examine gender and body-mass index differences in quality of life and exercise motives of adolescents. The sample consisted of 744 first-year high school students from the City of Zagreb. Quality of life was measured with an adapted version of the Kidscreen-27, and exercise motivation with the EMI-2. The results suggest that adolescents experience positive quality of life and their exercise motivation derives from intrinsic and extrinsic motives. Higher levels of male adolescents' quality of life, compared to females', predominantly result from a greater sense of physical well-being, more pleasant emotions and moods, more positive school and family environment, and the ability to plan and spend leisure time. Normal-weight adolescents are more satisfied with their physical activity and health than overweight ones. Male adolescents are more driven by enjoyment, challenge, competition, strength, and social motives (belonging, pressure, and recognition), unlike females, who exercise more because of weight control. Normal-weight adolescents are more motivated for exercise by enjoyment than overweight ones, who are more driven by weight control. The implications of these findings were discussed.

Drawing on the escape theory, we propose that emotional intelligence is negatively linked to materialism and compulsive buying. Our research demonstrates that the ability to manage one's emotions is associated with lower levels of materialism and compulsive buying. We also show that materialism functions as the mechanism underlying the emotional intelligence – compulsive buying relationship. Similarly, the ability to understand one's emotions was found to be negatively related to compulsive buying. Contrary to expectations, the path between the understanding of one's emotions and materialism was found to be non-significant, suggesting that the link between emotional intelligence and materialism might not always be direct. As expected, materialism was positively linked to compulsive buying. Our research contributes to the relevant literature with a new antecedent of materialism, namely emotional intelligence.

This paper examines the relationship between perceived organizational justice, external prestige, organizational identification and work engagement. Data were collected by questionnaire, using a convenient sampling method. The results of structural equation modeling show that employees are more likely to identify with the organization if they perceive it as fair and prestigious, and are therefore more engaged at work. Perceived organizational justice and external prestige shape positive experiences of the organization and meet the employee’s need for the development of a positive self-image, thus leading to identification of the individuals with the organization and, indirectly, to a greater employee engagement. In addition to the theoretical contribution, this study's findings can also be used in organizational development interventions planning.
