The changes of value orientation of young people in the period of the post-socialist transformation

Abstract

This paper analyzes the changes in value orientations of young people
in the period of the post-socialist transformation in relation to the
period prior to the collapse of socialism. The aim of the research is
to determine the intensity and direction of change in value orientations:
gender inequality, intolerance, nationalism, organicism, religiosity,
political and economic liberalism and market fundamentalism.
Changes in value orientations are interpreted as the product of the
process of social change: modernization, retraditionalization and systemic
changes.
