不同年龄城乡青少年价值取向的多方法复合式分析

本研究采用多方法、多特征的新思路，以4种测量方法分析不同亚文化背景下424名青少年的集体──个体价值取向（collectivism－individualismvalueorientation）的特点及其发展变化趋势，试图在价值取向的理论构思和研究方法论两方面作新的探索。结果表明：（1）不同年龄段、不同地区的被试，其集体──个体价值取向存在着显著差异；（2）4种测量方法之间结果的相关非常显著，多方法复合式分析具有聚合效度；（3）在集体──个体价值取向方向上，我国被试更倾向集体。本研究在方法学上和交叉文化差异研究中都有其积极意义，为进一步研究提供了依据。

A MULTI-METHOD COMPLEX ANALYSIS OF THE VALUE ORIENTATIONS AMONG URBAN AND SUBURBAN TEENAGERS

With the new multi-method and multi trait approach, this study adopted multiple measures to analyze the value orientations of collectivism and individualism among teenagers under didfferent cultural settings. The study attempted to achieve some progress in both theoretical constructs and research methodology on value orientation. The results showed that 1) subjects of different age groups and from different regions had significantly different value orientations of collectivism and individualissm; 2)there were significant different correlations among the four methods (measures), indivating the feasibility of multi-method multi-trait analysis; 3) the comparison between the Chinese and overseas' results of value orientations of collectivism and individualism revealed different patterns. The present study proviede usdful evidence and theoretical/methodological implications for further research:
