Trendovi vrednosnih prioriteta u Zapadnoj Evropi – Modelovanje krivama latentnog rasta
Trends in value priorities across Western Europe – a latent growth curve modeling

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we explore trends in value priorities on a country-levelacross Western Europe using the Schwartz typology of personal values. Weanalyze the significance of the time effect as well as country-level differences intime effects on individual value priorities. We use latent growth curve modelingand data from the European Social Survey, including 12 countries (with more than240,000 respondents) and ten time-points between 2002 and 2020. Results indicateinsignificant time effects on tradition and stimulation, weak positive time effects onbenevolence, universalism, self-direction, and hedonism, and weak negative effectson security, conformity, achievement, and power. Finally, the analysis of country-leveldifferences indicates that the observed pattern is particularly pronounced inthe Nordic countries. Generally, our evidence suggests relative stability of valuesand a slow cultural shift across Western Europe.
