Abstract
Changes in family values in Greece, from traditional collectivist to individualist, are related to recent cultural and technological developments, to changes in the family system from extended to nuclear, to migration of the population from small rural communities to urban centers, to changes in the structure of the in-group, and so forth. A family values questionnaire was given to 417 students from Athens and from small rural communities. The factor structure of Athenian family values differed from that of small community values, particularly in relation to the extended family-nuclear family dimension, indicating a transition from collectivist to individualist values.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
