Women's attitudes towards values in theoretical and empirical studies
Abstract
This article dealis with attitudes towards values among women in contemporary
Polish society, which has not been considered to be an autonomous complex subject of
social studies in Poland before. Polish sociology of values usually focused on youth as a
social category or on Poles during the political and economic transformation in 1989 in
general. As far as women as a social category are concerned, the only attempt at giving
sociological characteristic of their attitudes towards values dealt with their attitudes
towards family and work. Therefore the knowledge in this field is rather fragmentary
and needs to be completed by a complex empirical study based on a macro-, mezzo- and
micro-structural theory. The author presents data from three main sources of knowledge
in the presented field, which are:
- the World Values Surveys based on Roland Inglehart's assumptions representing
the world's population (more tha 60 societies) carried out regularly from the early 1980s,
- Polish researches which accord to Inglehart's theory carried out after the political
and economic transformation in 1989
- the researches of women's attitudes towards some particular values especially family
and work.
Analysis of above mentioned data leads to a conclusion that the system of values of
Polish women is still a virgin territory in sociology. Therefore, the research planned by
the author of this article contain the following issues:
1. What types of preferences of social order are characteristic for women in the contemporary
Polish society?
2. Of which particular values do those preferences consist?
3. What are the possible sociological explanations of particular women's choices
among different values?
4. Which demographic features and which of their consequences are related to particular
choices of values?
5. What changes in Polish women's hierarchy of values could be observed in the last
fifteen years?
