Descrição
Resumo:This article examines the basic values of young people (aged 18 to 25) and analyses how, if at all, these are different from the values of older generations in Georgia. Based on Shalom H. Schwartz's Theory of Basic Values (2012), the study uses quantitative (secondary analysis of the World Values Survey [WVS]) and qualitative (40 in-depth interviews) research methods to explore basic values, perceptions and attitudes, as well as tolerance towards different minority groups in Georgia. The research findings reveal that Schwartz's higher-ordered values ‘conservation' (including ‘conformity' and ‘tradition') and ‘self-transcendence' (including ‘benevolence' and ‘universalism') are very important for all age groups in Georgia. In contrast, the values of ‘openness to change' and ‘self-enhancement' are assessed quite dissimilarly by young and older generations. In addition, the youth turned out to be more tolerant towards different minority groups, such as people of a different religion and race, immigrants and sexual minorities.
