Fault-lines. Student values in institutions of higher education in a region which borders upon three countries

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the value preferences of full-time students with the help of a regional database which extends itself over three countries (Hungary, Romania and the Ukraine). Beyond mapping students’ value systems, we seek to reveal how particular socio-cultural variables shape persons’ mental/cognitive structures and attitudes – for example, which group of students can be characterised as having predominantly material values, and which would have post-material values. Finally, we make an attempt to model the joint incidence of single values, and we then develop any components (for instance altruist, religious, self-centred-material etc.) with the help of a factor analysis.
