“…7 are the discriminant of gender (females are more at the bottom of the plot; significant separation of genders on this line by t test) and the line that optimally represents the age distribution of the sample (dashed line, with older persons more towards the right of the plot; inserted scale correlates with .50 with the external age variable). The two inserted lines correspond to what has been found before with respect to gender and age (Schwartz & Rubel, 2005;Borg et al, 2017c) which supports the validity of the solution. Figure 8 shows the stress contributions of individuals and of values.…”

“…The obvious hypothesis is that the PVQ scale fits better to the value circle theory, and the IVRS fits better to the value dimensions theory, because the scales have been developed out of these theories. Previous research (Bilsky & Hermann, 2016;Borg et al, 2017bBorg et al, , 2017c has shown that the IRVS fits well into the value circle framework. What has not been tested is whether the PVQ fits into Klages' value dimensions.…”

The paper compares the theoretical implications of two popular scales for the measurement of personal values, the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) of Schwartz et al. (J Cross-Cult Psychol, 32:519-542, 2001) and the IRVS of Hermann (Werte und Kriminalität: Konzeption einer allgemeinen Kriminalitätstheorie [Values and criminality: conception of a general theory of criminality], 2003; Zusammenstellung sozialwissenschaftlicher Items und Skalen, 2014). These scales come from psychology and sociology, respectively. They were developed, independently of each other, to serve different purposes, are based on different theories, and use different statistical models. We here study the validity of each scale for either theory. It is shown that using the PVQ methodology leads to similar and robust model solutions for data collected with either scale. Conversely, using the methodology that is standard for Individual Reflexive Value Scale (IRVS) data confirms the theoretical predictions for PVQ data but leads to unstable solutions for IRVS data. Nevertheless, the IRVS suggests "peace of mind" as an additional basic value and items that serve to complement the PVQ value circle. "Religion" is found to also fit into the structure of basic PVQ values but it contains a unique component.

“…Period effects are of particular importance if research takes a life-span perspective. Taking that very perspective, Borg et al (2017) examined age-related differences in value preferences using data from the European Social Survey 2012 (ESS; N = 50,408) and of a recent German survey on crime prevention ( N = 3,272). As predicted, the authors found that (higher) age was related to a clear shift away from Openness to Change and toward Conservation values.…”

This paper examines intergenerational differences and similarities in value preferences among three generations of the Russian ethnic minorities in two North Caucasus republics of the Russian Federation. It also compares them with value preferences of three generations of Russians in the Central Federal District around Moscow and those of indigenous North Caucasus residents. The sample included 479 grandparent–parent–adolescent triads. Data were obtained using Schwartz’s Revised Portrait Values Questionnaire. Scores for Schwartz’s four higher-order value types (Openness to Change, Self-Enhancement, Conservation, and Self-Transcendence) were calculated. Analyses of variance showed that intergenerational differences were strongest for Openness values. For the three other values, preferences of grandparents and parents differed less than did preferences of parents and their offspring. Repeated measures analyses of covariance, controlling for differences in age, gender, and educational attainment in the five cultural groups, showed that intergenerational differences were moderated by cultural context. Intergenerational differences were consistently widest in the Central Federal District. Generally, value preferences of contemporary adolescents, their parents, and their grandparents are drifting apart in the most “modern” part of the Russian Federation, whereas in the periphery, the generations are staying more closely together, largely regardless of people’s ethnic belonging.

“…First, it is a reminder of the potential diversity of older adults, as people belonging to the same age group do not necessarily share the same internalized values [40]. Second, the reversal might also be true, as individuals of different cohorts may share the same values [41]. Third, individuals' values change with age [42].…”

Negative stereotypes about old age abound in our present-day society, which often considers older people as sexually incapable or even asexual. On the other hand, active ageing ideologies foster the practice of sex in later life as a sign of healthy and active ageing. The aim of this pilot case study was to examine the impact that poetry on sexuality, ageing and creativity had on older individuals. In total eight participants, aged 49–76, participated in a workshop offered by the University of Lleida (Spain). The initial hypothesis was that the participants, following the example set by the poems, would produce pieces of creative writing in which they voiced their own concerns and experiences about sexuality in later life from the distance that metaphor grants. While some of the participants’ writings engaged with the poems that deal with sexuality in older age, none of the participants’ creative pieces contained explicit instances of sexual experiences. The analysis of the participants’ creative pieces suggests that: first, they regard intimacy in older age as essential; and second, their unwillingness to write about sexuality in older age is partly rooted in their upbringing during Franco’s dictatorial regime, in which sexuality for non-reproductive aims was constructed as immoral.
