The Problem of Cultural Values of the North Caucasus in Scientific Research
Abstract
The aim of the article is to correlate the characteristics of the North Caucasus culture with the psychological dimensions of the culture of G. Triandis, G. Hofstede, R. Inglehart, S. Schwartz, N. M. Lebedeva.
Method. Analysis of ethnographic, socio-philosophical and socio-psychological research.
Results. It is shown that the authors, referring to the culture of the North Caucasus, in accordance with their research interests, describe a variety of cultural phenomena, the systematization of which is an actual scientific problem. Numerous characteristics of the North Caucasus culture, contained in ethnographic and cultural-anthropological studies are correlated with the psychological dimensions of the culture of G. Triandis, G. Hofstede, R. Inglehart, Sh. Schwartz, N. M. Lebedeva.
Conclusions. One of the major obstacles to a holistic representation of the value system of the North Caucasus culture is the lack of a unified approach to their systematization and the great differences in the author's interpretations of the notion of "cultural values". In this regard, empirical studies of cultural values, carried out according to a unified methodology acquire particular urgency.
