Vrednosne orijentacije u bivsoj Jugoslaviji

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to measure and compare certain value orientations in countries of former Yugoslavia. Also, we compare mean values for the ex Yugoslavia with the reference measurement in western and eastern Europe, respectively. The value orientations which are about to be analyzed are: religiosity, racial/ethnic tolerance, democratic orientation, permissiveness and social trust. We used European Value Survey data 2008-2009 wave. As a method, analysis of covariance, as well as canonical discriminant analysis had been applied. Results showed that in former Yugoslavia we measure higher level of tolerance and democratic orientation comparing to rest of Europe. On the other hand, in the former Yugoslavia we measure lower level of social trust and permissiveness comparing to eastern and western Europe, respectively. Also, we recognized that Slovenia is differing from other ex Yugoslav countries, in a sense that measured values are closer to western societies.
