Tiivistelmä
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate knowledge about the war, intense group identification, depression, and interaction with Serbian youth among university students in Kosovo.
Method: A questionnaire was completed by 146 female and 99 male university students. The mean age was 22.4 years (SD 3.2) for females, and 22.9 years (SD 3.1) for males. The age range was between 18 and 30 years of age.
Results: No significant difference was found between females and males on knowledge about the war. Females scored significantly higher than males on depression. Males reported that they interacted with Serbian youth significantly more often than females. Respondents belonging to the group with high intense group identification scored significantly higher on knowledge about the war compared to respondents with low group identification. They also interacted significantly less with Serbian youth. No difference was found between the groups on depression.
Conclusions: Among the university students, females and males had equally much knowledge about the war. Students with high intense identification with their own cultural group had more knowledge about the war and they also had less contact with Serbian youth.
