Description
Summary:The article presents the results of the study of the values of representatives of generations through actual fears through the author’s questionnaire. We have compiled data on the study of values in psychology and sociology and showed that values, value orientations constitute the core of the individual, underlie social norms. The avail able methods for the study of values that identify them at the group or personal level are discussed. A link is found between values and human fears. A working version of the author’s questionnaire examining the values of generations through actual fears (fears: I, others, nature, culture, technology, mystical) is presented. The sample of representatives of generations (180 people) shows the results of the initial testing of the questionnaire. It was shown that the «Transitional» generation (according to N. Howe, W. Strauss is generation X) is dominated by the value of culture and the fear of losing it, the «Informational» generation (generation Y) is dominated by the value I and the fear of losing oneself, The «New» generation (generation Z) is the most valuable information technology and the fear of the multiplicity of worlds is actualized. It is concluded that the submitted questionnaire is easy to use, speeds up the process of use and reveals the peculiarities of values from deep positions.
