Testing Schwartz’s Model of Cultural Value Orientations in Europe with the European Social Survey: An Empirical Comparison of Additive Indexes with Factor Scores
Schwartz (2004) proposed a theory of seven cultural value orientations, ordered in a circle, that form three cultural value dimensions, hierarchy vs. egalitarianism, mastery vs. harmony, and autonomy vs. embeddedness and demonstrated their usefulness for comparing countries.

Schwartz (2004) proposed a theory of seven cultural value orientations, ordered in a circle, that form three cultural value dimensions, hierarchy vs. egalitarianism, mastery vs. harmony, and autonomy vs. embeddedness and demonstrated their usefulness for comparing countries. In this study we model for the first time Schwartz’ cultural values using the European Social Survey (ESS). While confirmatory multidimensional scaling discriminated all seven cultural values, multilevel confirmatory factor analysis displayed high correlations requiring unifying two pairs of adjacent values. All in all, the findings suggest that ESS data are suitable for modeling and comparing Schwartz’ cultural values in European countries.
