A system of social values of contemporary students

Abstract

A system of social values of contemporary student youth is investigated in this paper on the basis of methods of analysis of variance, multidimensional scaling, and methods of cluster analysis. It was shown that importance of education is not seen by young people as a prior factor in their lives. Besides, students do not see any connection between health and the environmental component. They do not see any role of religion in strengthening the institutions of family and friendly relations. Those students, who prefer such categories as Power and Prestige, do not see any connection among these categories and the variables Education, Health, and Sports.
