The paper aims to investigate the theoretical assumption that the value system (according to the Schwartz model) is associated with compliance with recommendations to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the theoretical assumption, persons whose value system emphasizes social focus and whose values are self-transcendence and conservation will comply with measures to a greater extent. On the other hand, people whose value system is focused on personal focus and whose values self-direction and openness to change will be less compliant with measures for combating the spread of the virus. The research was conducted in three Southeastern European countries – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia using a survey of 1024 students. The Schwartz scale on basic human values was used as a research instrument. The research was conducted at the very beginning of the pandemic (March and April 2020). The results of the hierarchical regression showed that the values of openness to change (personal focus) and conservation (social focus) are significant predictors of compliance with measures and trust in institutions and sex.
Student respect for teachers is one of the important aspects of the student-teacherrelationship, which is considered an important component of the school climate.Given the significant role of the school climate in predicting students’ violenceagainst teachers, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship betweenperceptions of students’ respect for teachers and students’ violence against teachers.The research was conducted with two survey questionnaires intended for samplesof students and teachers, and 451 students and 102 high school teachers in the Cityof Zagreb participated in the research. The perception of respect for teachers anddifferent forms of violence was examined by assessing participants’ agreement ona six-point Likert-type scale (1 – strongly agree, 6 – strongly disagree). The resultsindicate that students and teachers, on average, feel that students respect teachers toa greater extent, and that they perceive different forms of violence against teachersto a lesser extent. The correlation analysis found a statistically significant negativeassociation between respect for teachers and various forms of student violenceagainst teachers. It can be concluded that respect for teachers plays an importantrole in explaining the occurrence of students’ violence against teachers.Keywords: respect; school climate; students; teachers; violence against teachers.-Poštovanje učenika prema nastavnicima jedan je od bitnih aspekata odnosa izmeđuučenika i nastavnika koji se smatra važnom komponentom školske klime.

Istraživanje je provedenodvama anketnim upitnicima namijenjenima uzorcima učenika i nastavnika, au istraživanju je sudjelovao 451 učenik te 102 nastavnika srednjih škola u GraduZagrebu. Percepcija poštivanja nastavnika i različitih oblika nasilja ispitana jeprocjenom slaganja sudionika na skali Likertova tipa od šest stupnjeva (1-izrazitose slažem, 6-izrazito se ne slažem). Rezultati ukazuju na to da učenici i nastavniciu prosjeku više smatraju da učenici poštuju nastavnike te da u manjoj mjeripercipiraju različite oblike nasilja nad nastavnicima. Korelacijskom analizomutvrđena je statistički značajna negativna povezanost između poštovanjanastavnika i različitih oblika nasilja učenika nad nastavnicima.
