The main intention of this piece of work is to represent the only one part of results gained from far more large-scale study having the purpose to research actual trends within student population in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this research we used a battery comprising of general information on examinees, Scale of preferences and the most important things, Empathy Scale and Locus Control Scale. Having the sample consisting of 264 students, we analyze preferences and the most important things for young people, in an effort to state the most dominant life styles. We correlate life styles with the results gained on Empathy Scale and Locus Control Scale, so we obtain a series of interesting and important data on students’ population that the most dramatically witness the transition of a society.
