Abstract
Starting from the hypothesis that the attitudes of respondents are associated into some relatively independent latent structures, factor analyses of the obtained results have been carried out. The hypothesis has been confirmed by result analyses. Twelve factors have been identified by means of the factor analyses. Within value orientations towards professional life, five factors have been isolated: a status-affirmatively-competitive value orientation, a value orientation pertaining to creativity, nonconformity and self-actualization, a value orientation of order and work, a hedonistic-materialistic value orientation, and a value orientation of riskiness and self-abnegation. Within the value orientation towards opportunism and traditionalism, one factor has been isolated: a value orientation of opportunism and conservatism. With regard to value orientations towards ways of spending one's leisure time, four factors have been isolated: a consumer-type value orientation, a value orientation of consumer-type activities, a value orientation of spontaneity, and a value orientation of organised and spontaneous activities. Within value orientations towards the functions of the family, two factors have been isolated: a value orientation towards the functions of the family pertaining to education and personality development and the family's protective function, and a value orientation towards the reproductive function of the family.
