Stabilnost i promjene osobnih i (post)materijalističkih vrijednosti hrvatskih građana
Stability and Change of Personal and (Post)materialist Values among Croatian Citizens

Summary/Abstract: The aim was to determine the stability of human values among Croatian citizens within Schwartz's theory of basic human values (Schwartz, 1992) in the period between 2008/09 and 2011, and Inglehart’s theory of postmaterialism (Inglehart, 1977) in the period between 1999 and 2017/2018. It was checked whether the eventual change was universal, or whether it depended on sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age and education). The research is based on representative data collected in two waves of European Social Survey and three waves of European Value Study. In terms of personal values, the results suggest universal stability over change in the period from 2008/09 to 2011 (there is a possibility that change depends on individual sociodemographic characteristics). In contrast, in 2008 compared to 1999 and 2017/18, postmaterialist values are given temporary and universal (independent of sociodemographic characteristics) lower priority. Findings on sociodemographic characteristics as sources of variation in values confirm age as an important source of variation in personal values, while with respect to gender and education, very small differences in personal and postmaterialist values have been obtained.
