Authors's Label
Secularism
Our Classification
Remarks
A person high in secularism endorsed the importance of God, national pride and respect of authority less, but endorsed the post-materialistic values of self-expression and independence, as well as autonomy, more. The opposite would be true for a person high in traditionalism.
Operationalization
Index of:
a: 'It is important for a child to learn independence and determination than obedience and religious faith'
b: 'God is not important in respondent's life'
c: 'Respondent favors less respect for authority'
d: 'Respondent has weak sense of national pride'
e: 'Respondent gives no priority to self-expression and quality-of-life over economic and psychical security'.
