As an integral part of human functioning, gossip plays a significant role in interpersonal relationships. It is an intelligent activity, a complex and sophisticated tool for adapting to life in the community, and constitutes a large portion of everyday communication. Gossip is defined as an informal and evaluative conversation between two parties in which (personal) information (positive or negative, verified or unverified) about an absent third party is exchanged. The focus of studies conducted in this area is on two contructs: tendency to gossip and attitudes towards gossip. The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship between attitudes towards gossip and the tendency to gossip, including their individual dimensions, as well as the differences between men and women, in a sample of students from Croatia. A total of 141 individuals participated in the study, of which 98 were women and 43 were men, and it was conducted via an online form. Two instruments were used in the study: the Attitudes Towards Gossip Scale and the Tendency to Gossip Questionnaire. The results showed a significant positive correlation between attitudes towards gossip and the tendency to gossip, as well as between all of their (sub)scales. No statistically significant difference was found in results on the Attitudes Towards Gossip Scale between women and men, nor in the Social Value Subscale, but a significant difference was found in the Moral Value Subscale, with men generally scoring higher. A statistically significant difference was found in the Tendency to Gossip Scale, as well as in the scales of Social Information, Physical Appearance and Sublimated Gossip, with women generally scoring higher in all cases. No statistically significant difference was found in the results of the Achievement Scale, nor in the item which measures so-called passive gossip.
