Psychosocial predictors of students' intention to leave the country The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in taking concrete steps to leave the country and to determine the predictors of intention to migrate, and then get more specific information of sources of (dis)satisfaction with life in Croatia. A total of 356 students of University of J. J. Strossmayer in Osijek participated in this study, with ages ranging from 22 to 42. Results showed that 44.7% of participants have the intention of moving abroad and that there are gender differences in taking concrete actions on it – men stated more often than women that they have taken steps regarding finding the job abroad. Moreover, statistically significant predictors of intention to move abroad are variables: gender, participation in the Erasmus student exchange program, number of close friends, and the level of mental health. Thus, both demographic, social and psychological variables contribute to the explanation of the variance of criteria (intention to leave the country), while the economic variable (after adding of the variable level of mental health), has ceased to be statistically significant. The level of mental health is a mediator between self-assessment of economic status and intention to leave the country. It has been shown that social relationships (close people, society in general) are the main source of satisfaction, and the economic situation (corruption, unemployment, etc.) is a source of dissatisfaction with life in Croatia.
