摘要: The goal of the present study is to supplement inter-cultural comparison values as a cultural dimension by intra-cultural comparisons, and go beyond comparisons single representing dimensions studying value patterns on individual level. Therefore, relationships among general (individualism, collectivism) domain-specific (family- child-related) transmission in three generations one family were analyzed. sample consisted 100 complete triads (grandmothers, mothers, adolescents). results showed that orientations these dif- fered expected direction. Individualistic more supported younger less older generation. While individualism did not show significant relations other specific values, collectivism was most powerful predict child-related values. Individual- ism clearly turned out separate with different functions for system. structure grandmoth- ers compared internal consistency. A relative obvious adjacent generations. are discussed from perspective change stability, relation orientations.
