Abstract

During our life, our values and value orientation are shaped by many factors. Values form a dynamic structure of beliefs which, in many ways and with varying intensity, influence our everyday decision making. In the research carried out in 2016, we asked if and how the value orientation is influenced by the economic situation of the family the person lives in. Since the economic situation of the family plays an important role in many areas of our life, we assumed it also had a significant role in the area of values and a strong influence on the value formation. The values were measured with the help of preference scales and RokeachВ’s itineraries of terminal and instrumental values, and some of the values from SchwartzВ’s Values Survey used to identify the basic domains of human motivation. Our examination of the economic situation of families was based on the respondentsВ’ evaluation of the family income and expenses and the capability to create financial reserves. The data were gathered from 2,315 respondents (1,204 women) in the Czech Republic. The research results have confirmed the fundamental assumption about the relation between the family economic situation and the value preferences. In this paper, we present the relationship between selected key values and the influence of the family economic situation on these values.
