Some Determinants of Value Identity of Young People

Dijana Sulejmanović

Abstract


The aim of this work belongs to the field of values and value orientations. The research goals were related to examining the presence and preferences of the dimensions of value orientation among young people and determining the existence of possible differences in the expression of these dimensions about some sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents. The study included a volunteer sample (N=106) of young people aged between 18 and 22 years and used questionnaires that measured value orientations: conformity, religiosity, authoritarianism, and gender inequality. The results of this research show an orientation towards religion and family and the preservation of traditional values. According to the analyzed data, it was established that religiosity and authoritarianism were the most chosen values. Particularly interesting and statistically significant are the findings obtained for the intercorrelations of the examined variables, where positive connections were found between conformity and other examined value orientations.
