Religion In Contemporary Society: Eroded By Human Well-Being, Supported By Cultural Diversity
Measuring and Mapping Cultures: 25 Years of Comparative Value Surveys
In 1981, the European and World Values surveys started the empirical investigations of value orientations on a global scale.

Two chapters discuss basic theoretical and methodological issues of value research, while four chapters focus on contemporary processes of value change: cultural globalization, individualization, secularization and democratization.…

Such market adaptation is expected to result in a diversified supply of rel…

According to the secularization theory, Western societies have witnessed a gradual but steady decline in religiosity and its impact on society, both in the public and the private realms. It is assumed that previously religion and morality were closely connected. The processes of individualization and secularization have induced a weakening of these strong ties. Since individualization and secularization did not proceed uniformly in all Western co…
