ABSTRACT Cross-cultural research reveals that indicators for macro-level modernization cannot unequivocally be related to the vivid cultural distinctiveness of youths and adults.

These influences are indicated with the concept of youth centrism and the cultural features are indicated with a selection of attitudes which are common in both surveys, and which can be confined to a factor measuring a hedonistic type of individualism.
