The research of the Ancient Dubrovnik`s literature had primarily began by its biographers; afterwards significant documents that had been found in the Dubrovnik`s archive made possible to the researchers to give immense contributions in this field. The 21st century brought, in the area of the historiography especially, new approaches toward research of the renaissance and baroque literature of the Ancient Dubrovnik. New findings in Marin Držić`s biography, as well as research of the social status in Dubrovnik, especially of its aristocracy have made possible to apply the new methods in studies of the works written during the time of the Renaissance ,and above all the comedies. Additionally, the forming of the Dubrovnik`s myth, which has been constructed for centuries by the writers of the Old Republic provides new and more intellectual view on their literary contribution.

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the quality criteria and the factor structure of the Serbian translation of the Psychological Mindedness Scale (PMS) (Shill and Lumley, 2002). In this paper we offer the detailed description of the translation and validation procedures we fallowed. Psychological Mindedness outlines the interest as well as the ability of an individual to introspectively reflect on emotions and conflicts. The sample consisted of 166 university students. Results indicate good psychometric propperties. Internal consitancy is good. Explorative factor analysis suggested that a four factor solution is better that the original five factor, because of fewer cross-loadings and better content validity of the factors. Good convergent validity was demonstrated by a strong negative correlation between the whole PMS, and all four factors separately, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Perspectives for further improvement of the instrument and its application in therapeutic process are discussed in the conclusion.
