ABSTRACT

In one way or another, all the different taste and activity patterns distinguished in this study are related to at least some values and/or value orientations. The relations between values and value orientations on the one hand, and taste and activity patterns on the other, are rather complex. These relations are partly explained by the ways in which values among youth in Western society are structured along the gender, class and status dimensions. From the simple correlation matrices presented in Tables 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 we cannot gain insight into the complex relations between values, societal position, and tastes or activities. Thus we have conducted a number of combined Anova-MCA analyses in order to arrive at a more thorough knowledge of the empirical relations between these different variables.
