摘要
世界价值观调查的证据表明,在过去几十年,一套新的后现代价值观改变了全球范围内发达工业化国家的社会、政治、经济和性的规范。从物质主义价值观到后物质主义价值观的转向,仅只是正在发生的从现代价值观到后现代价值观转向这一更加广泛变迁中的一个方面。经济发展水平与后物质主义价值观的盛行之间并非简单的一一对应关系。经济繁荣固然有助于后物质主义价值观的传播,但是,社会价值观的变迁则是通过代际价值观的更替得以实现的。从长远来看,经济发展倾向于带来有利于民主制度的文化变迁。这种变迁是与后现代价值观的出现相关联的一种更加广泛进程的一部分。而主观幸福感在使民主制度合法化过程中扮演着一种重要角色。
A growing body of evidence coming from the World Values Surveys indicates that during the past few decades,a new set of postmodern values has been transforming the social,political,economic,and sexual norms of advanced industrial societies around the globe.This shift from materialist to postmaterialist values is only one aspect of a much broader shift from modern to postmodern values that is taking place.There is no simple one-to-one relationship between economic level and the prevalence of post-materialist values.Economic development is conducive to the spread of postmaterialist values.For the most part,fundamental value change takes place as younger birth cohorts replace older ones in the adult population of a society.In the long run,economic development tends to bring cultural changes that are conducive to democracy.These changes are part of a broader process linked with the emergence of postmodern values.Subjective well-being plays an important role in legitimizing democratic institutions.
