Abstract

Data reported here are based on the adolescents' evaluations of the societal conditions and democratic values which they see as important for the well-being of the individual. Adolescents from the Czech Republic, Russia and Scotland were asked to indicate the importance of 34 terms representing different aspects of social and political life in regard to the well-being of the individual. As results showed, freedom, human rights, trust, and justice were seen generally as the most important attributes for the well-being of the individual. Regarding differences among countries (by using of a discriminant function analysis), Scottish adolescents separated from Czechs and Russians the higher importance of national identity and political life. Czech adolescents separated from Russians and Scots higher importance of democratic rules and lower importance of individualism.

Abstract (in Czech)

Adolescenti ze tří zemí (Česká republika, Skotsko, Rusko) meli za úkol posuzovat, které atributy (společenské podmínky, hodnoty) považují za dlležité pro osobní pohodu jednotlivce. Výsledky ukazují, že svoboda, lidská práva, důvěra a spravedlnost jsou obecne akceptovány jako důležité atributy. Diskriminační analýza ale také odhalila rozdíly mezi jednotlivými zeměmi: Skotové se od ostatních odlišují větším důrazem na význam národní identity a politiku. Češi více než ostatní zdůrazňují význam demokratických pravidel a menší význam individualismu.
