?:abstract
  • Data from the EVSSG (acronym not identified) World Values Study are analyzed in relation to the propositions that the macrovalues of the Nordic countries are dominated by leftism, egalitarianism, weak religiosity, & a high level of life satisfaction. The findings do not support the dominance of leftism, but provide strong evidence of the latter two theses. It is suggested that the lack of support for leftism per se might be the result of the achievements of egalitarian policies, which have satisfied the populations of these countries. The findings on religiosity (eg, less than 5% of the population attend church regularly) are related to the general trend of secularism.--------------------------------------------------------------------The macrovalues of the Nordic countries are generally seen as dominated by leftism (especially a strong egalitarianism), high level of life salisfactions, and weak religiosity. Using data from the EVSSG World Values Study we present some empirical evidence relating to these propositions. We find no support for the claim that leftism is dominant, while support for the other two theses is fairly strong We speculate that the failing support for leftism is partly caused by the achievements of egalitarian policies, which weaken demand for more of the same, and partly impeded by the problems that the implementation of the leftist agenda created in these societies.
