dc.description.abstract | The materialist-postmaterialist value dimension, understood as assigning priority to self-expression and
quality of life as opposed to physical and economic security, has been one of the most important heuristic
tools in the analysis of the changes of predominant values in cross-cultural and comparative studies in past
decades. In recent elaboration of self-expression and emancipative values (in both cases, with
postmaterialism as the most important component), postmaterialist values have been viewed as an essence
of democratic political culture and a cultural precondition of effective democracy. This study was aimed at
analysing the relation between postmaterialist values (understood as a political - thick culture variable),
satisfaction with country’s democracy (institutional - thin culture variable) and support for democracy. The
data from the European Values Survey (EVS), conducted on the nationally representative samples in twenty
East European countries on the total of twenty countries and 30,393 respondents, were used. It is shown that
postmaterialism is an important aspect of democratic political culture in Eastern Europe; in general, the most
supportive of democracy are postmaterialists. On the other hand, there is a mixed pattern between the
postmaterialist values and satisfaction with democracy – in some countries, citizens satisfied with democracy
are more prone to choose postmaterialist items compared to the dissatisfied ones, while in some other
countries the reverse is true. Both are, however, important predictors of the support for democracy as well as
the country’s level of democracy development (measured by the EIU Democracy index). The relevance of
postmaterialist values for the promotion of democratic political culture in Eastern Europe, possible alternative
mechanisms of value change as well as the materialist-postmaterialist conception are discussed. | sr |
