Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the intensity and dispersion of value orientations of economic liberalism and market fundamentalism among young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina on two historic occasions - in the period immediately before the collapse of the Communist social order (1989) and in the period of post-Communist transformation, more precisely over the period of consolidating the neoliberal pattern of economic regulation following the impact of financial and economic crisis (2012). An analysis of empirical data will discover to what extent social consciousness, expressed in the form of value orientations, follows structural social changes that take place due to the establishing of neoliberal model of capitalistic regulation. In terms of theoretical background, the analysis relies on the theory of value-normative dissonance. The analysis of empirical data is executed by means of result comparison method of value orientations sum scales where such an analysis is possible, while in other cases a simpler method of pattern descriptive analysis is performed, along with comparison of individual items. The data used was collected in the respective survey entitled 'Social Structure and Quality of Life', conducted in 1989 in all the republics of the former Yugoslavia, and 'Value Orientation and Attitude Towards Social Changes', conducted in 2012 in the Doboj region of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • S obzirom na visok procenat prihvatanja protekcionističke i nizak procenat liberalne orijentacije ispitanika možemo zaključiti da je u znatnoj meri prisutna vrednosno-normativna disonanca, ali i vrednosna nekonzistencija koja je ipak relativno niska u odnosu na većinu ostalih vrednosnih orijentacija koje smo do sada razmatrali (varijansa na skali je 0,668)

Introduction

Podaci koje smo do sada izneli upućuju na privatnoj svojini imamo situaciju da su sitni postojanje vrednosno-normativne disonance privatni preduzetnici i poljoprivrednici libezbog prihvatanja ekonomskog liberalizma u ralnije orijentisani od ostalih grupa (skorovi periodu socijalizma, ali i na postojanje vred- 3,92 i 3,75 naspram proseka na nivou uzorka nosne nekonzistencije zbog toga što se isto- 3,21). Zatim smo pomoću T testa utvrdili da se razlika u stepenu prihvatanja ekonomskog liberalizma javlja kod stavke kojom se izražava podrška privatnoj svojini
