Abstract
This study, guided by Taylor’s Great Disembedding Theory, examines global and Chinese societal values through the World Values Survey’s four-wave data from 1994 to 2014. Factor analysis shows six core values as disembedding factors (friends, leisure, politics) and embedding factors (family, work, religion). These data collected during China’s one-child policy and economic reforms reveal the country’s value shifts: leisure gains importance while politics is more moderate. This disembedding trend suggests a growing demand for social services driven by an emphasis on life balance. These evolving values guide social workers in tailoring programs to meet diverse needs shaped by personal and societal expectations.
