TL;DR: In this article, a study on values sensu Schwartz among 7- to 14-year-olds (N = 121) and their parents (n = 43) is reported, where children and parents indicated their own value preferences and perceived value preferences of their respective parents.
Abstract: German Abstract: Berichtet wird eine Studie der Werthaltungen sensu Schwartz von 7- bis 14-Jahrigen (N = 121) und deren Eltern (N = 43). Kinder und Eltern waren aufgefordert, jeweils ihre eigenen Werthaltungen sowie die wahrgenommenen Werthaltungen ihrer Eltern einzuschatzen, womit die Groseltern der Kinder als dritte Generation indirekt einbezogen sind. Wertpraferenzen der Kinder strukturieren sich theoriekonform nach den ubergeordneten Werteorientierungen von Schwartz (Selbstuberwindungs vs.Selbststarkungswerte, Offenheits- vs. Bewahrungswerte). Die zehn einzelnen Werte sind hingegen nicht so angeordnet, wie im Schwartz 'sehen Wertekreis vorgesehen. Die Ahnlichkeit zwischen den eigenen Wertpraferenzen der Kinder und den von ihnen perzipierten Werte ihrer Eltern ist hoch und uber die gesamte Altersspanne der 7- bis 14-Jahrigen weitgehend konstant. Dennoch bildet sich der intergenerationale Wertewandel in den Daten ab. In der Generationenfolge zeigen die Mittelwerte der drei Generationen - in Ubereinstimmung mit Theorien eines emanzipatorischen Wertewandels in postindustriellen Gesellschaften - eine sinkende Zustimmung zu Bewahmngs - und eine komplementare Hinwendung zu Offenheitswerten. English Abstract: A study on values sensu Schwartz among 7- to 14-year-olds (N = 121) and their parents (N = 43) is reported. Children and parents indicated own value preferences and perceived value preferences of their respective parents, thereby indirectly including as a third generation the children's grandparents. The children's value preferences are structured in accordance with the higher-order value types of Schwartz (self-transcendence vs. self-enhancement, openness vs. conservation). The ten Single values, however, are not structured as postulated by Schwartz. Similarity between the children's own values and perceived parental values is high and essentially constant over the children's entire age-range. Despite this finding, there is also evidence for intergenerational value change. Along the generational sequence mean preferences decrease for conservation values and increase for openness values - consonant with theories of an emancipatory value change in postindustrial societies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a representative study of inhabitants (age > 13) of the common border regions of Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic was conducted, and three hypotheses were tested, namely that the experience of threat due to the EU enlargement leads to a higher prevalence of nationalist attitudes, that positive intercultural attitudes lower the impact of enlargement-related threat on nationalism, and that the negative impact of a threat experience on nationalism will be most pronounced in a border region where status differences and repercussions of historic conflicts are most salient.
Abstract: The paper reports a representative study of inhabitants (age > 13) of the common border regions of Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Based on Stephan and Stephan's integrated threat theory three hypotheses are tested, namely that (1) the experience of threat due to the EU enlargement leads to a higher prevalence of nationalist attitudes, that (2) positive intercultural attitudes lower the impact of enlargement-related threat on nationalism, and that (3) the impact of a threat experience on nationalism will be most pronounced in a border region where status differences and repercussions of historic conflicts are most salient, namely the region where the Czech Republic borders on West Germany (Bavaria). Findings support the first hypothesis. Hypothesis 2 finds little support, while Hypothesis 3 is largely supported. In the Western Czech/Bavarian border region the most imminent conflict potential exists; only there the hypothesis of a mediation effect of positive interpersonal attitudes finds...
