Abstract

Interes za forenzičku psihologiju prati relativno slaba upoznatost s kompetencijama i područjem rada forenzičkog psihologa, temeljena uglavnom na kriminalističkim serijama i filmovima. Stoga su ciljevi istraživanja bili ispitati na koji način su u filmovima prikazani forenzički psiholozi i njihov posao, postoji li i među studentima stereotipno doživljavanje forenzičkih psihologa i njihovog posla te podudara li se slika koju studenti imaju o forenzičkim psiholozima s dominantnim prikazom forenzičkih psihologa u filmovima. Analizu 26 filmova, u kojima su glavni ili sporedni likovi forenzički psiholozi, provelo je 16 sudaca. Svoje mišljenje o karakteristikama forenzičkih psihologa i njihovom poslu iskazalo je i 84 studenata. Rezultati su pokazali kako se na filmu lik forenzičkog psihologa prikazuje jednako u muškoj i ženskoj ulozi, u najvećem broju filmova to je osoba srednjih godina, atraktivnog izgleda, koja nije u vezi te nema djece. Što se tiče posla forenzičkog psihologa, on/ona je prikazan kao osoba koja najčešće obavlja intervjue, ima istraživačke i socijalne interese te najistaknutije osobine su joj suosjećanje i smirenost. Po tipologiji filmskih likova, spada u tip Sveznalice. Prikazivanje karakteristika likova forenzičkih psihologa i prikaz njihovog posla je u filmovima stereotipan i relativno netočan. Pokazalo se da studenti forenzičkog psihologa najčešće doživljavaju kao mušku osobu, srednjih godina, atletske građe, bez djece. Smatraju da se najčešće bavi izradom profila počinitelja kaznenih djela, da ima istraživački interese te ga smatraju smirenom osobom koja je otvorena iskustvima. Također, prema tipologiji likova, najčešće ga doživljavaju kao Sveznalicu. U većem stupnju su utvrđena podudaranja nego razlike između prikaza likova forenzičkih psihologa u filmovima i stajališta studenata o forenzičkim psiholozima.

Abstract (english)

Increased interest for the forensic psychology is usually accompanied by low level of knowledge about the field, usually based on crime series and movies. Thus, aims of this study were to examine: how the forensic psychologists and their work are presented in the movies and series; is there a stereotypical image of forensic psychologist among students; and whether the image that psychology students has of forensic psychologists corresponds to the portrait of forensic psychologist in the movies. The analysis of 26 movies, in which the main or secondary role played forensic psychologist was conducted by 16 judges. Characteristics of forensic psychologists and their work were also estimated by 84 undergradute students. The results showed that in movies the character of the forensic psychologist is equally presented as male and female person. In majority of movies forensic psychologist is middle-aged attractive person, usually single and without children. He/she usually expressed scientific and social interests, and is usually compassionate and calm. Job of forensic psychologist was mainly related to interviewing criminals. Portrayal of forensic psychologists and his/her work in the movies is stereotypical and mainly inaccurate. Undergraduate students perceive the forensic psychologists mostly as male, middle-aged, athletic person, without children. They usually think that forensic psychologists do criminal profiling, has scientific interests, are calm persons, open to new experiences. In students’ opinion, but also in the movies forensic psychologist is the best portrayed as the Jack of All Trades character. There are considerably similarities between portrayal of forensic psychologists in the movies and the students’ perception of forensic psychologists.
