TOWARDS NEW MAPS OF GLOBAL HUMAN VALUES, BASED ON WORLD VALUES SURVEY
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This short research note reports about a new approach to the study of global values, based on a statistical analysis of the freely available data from the World Values Survey, sixth wave of global opinion surveys which has now been made public. We provide a short overview of the research results, re-ported in (Tausch 2016), especially our Overall Open Personality Index, based on twelve factors of the promax factor analytical model based on the WVS data. But while some countries, like Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Yemen, and Peru had a very poor performance on both the Overall Open Personality In-dex and the University of Maryland Polity IV Democracy Measure at the same time, and Trinidad and Tobago, Sweden, Australia, Netherlands, the United States, and Japan had a very high performance on the Overall Open Personality Index and on the Democracy Measure, it is clear that in a Hay-ekian perspective Economic Freedom explains 46 per cent of the variance of the mismatch between the Overall Open Personality Index and the Democracy Measure. We also calculate performance indices for the countries and the nine main global religious denominations, answering an old query raised by Huntington (1996). On this account, the 5775 year old religion of Judaism and Protestantism emerge as the role models for other religions how to combine religion and the traditions of the Enlightenment
