At Inglehart's lecture

On 17th of November the first and the second year students of master's program in Applied Social Psychology attended a lecture and participated in discussions on issues of values studies. The lecture has been given by Ronald Inglehart, professor of Michigan University and academic supervisor of Laboratory for Comparative Social Research.

As our students tackle fundamental questions of cross-cultural psychology in classes, the lecture was extremely topical and relevant for them. The lecture was devoted to main features and  main cross-cultural differences in values and their change under the influence of technological and social factors. Students learned that values is universal construct which affects not only individual behavior, but also a social, economic and political development of societies. After the lecture students had an opportunity to ask the professor about value theory. As a result students learned a new approach to value investigation which broadens their abilities in real-life situations analysis
