| Popis: | This essay attempts to describe, and to some extent analyze, various relationships between certain general social attitudes on the one hand, and more specific, policy-relevant attitudes among Nordic adolescents, on the other. The specific target around which the more specific policy attitudes are measured is policy making in the area of youth unemployment. The report is an empirical pilot study. It is part of a larger research project called Adolescence, Public Policy Impacts, and Involvement in Public Affairs (for details, cf. Bryder, 1982). The same items were used in translated versions with all the subsamples. In the political sphere, generalized attitude syndromes seem to differ crossculturally. Finland and Denmark, on the one hand, and Norway and Sweden, on the other, seem to exhibit similar patterns. The Finns and Danes are more selfreliant, less respectful and expectant of authorities than the Swedes and Norwegians. There is, however, no evidence in the questionnaire itself that could explain whether this is a result of different socialization patterns or whether we ought to attribute these differences to dissimilarities in the levels of welfare. |
