R. Inglehart's modernization model is analyzed, which is one of the most developed, both in methodological and empirical terms. The results of an empirical study of the cultural value orientations of young Moldovans are analyzed. The Schwartz questionnaire was used to study cultural values. Based on the conducted factor analysis, it is concluded that young people are characterized by both the desire for subjectivity and the maintenance of traditional values.

The sample consisted of 200 students from Chisinau aged from 18 to 25 years (М = 20.5; SD = 1.19). The results showed a positive ethnic identity in Moldovan youth, a positive ethnic self-stereotype, and a positive hetero-stereotype (Russians). A closeness between self-stereotypes and hetero-stereotypes of Russians is also identified, which can be explained through a lasting peaceful coexistence of Moldovans with other ethnic groups in such a multicultural state as the Republic of Moldova. The results on ethnic group preferences of Moldovan youth reveal their high awareness of preferences toward their own group, the Russians and Ukrainians. The research of cultural value orientations of the young Moldovans revealed a high importance of egalitarianism (equity) and mastery, and less important was hierarchy.

The sample consisted of 200 respondents, Moldovans, university students in Chisinau. The basis for dividing the group of Moldovan youth into “optimists” and “pessimists” was their attitude to the future of their ethnic group. An empirical study of the characteristics of the perception of their group in the time perspective among young people of Moldovans revealed a great variability from “optimists”, who accounted for 43%, to “pessimists”, – 29%, which, according to researchers, is a reflection of the socio-cultural transformations taking place in Moldovan society.

The goal of the research was the study of time perception, values system in different age and ethnic groups in the transitional society. The methodological basis of our research is the systemic approach and social constructivism. Social groups were studied – age groups (adolescents, youngers, adults); ethnic groups (Gagauz people, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Russians). In order to carry out the empirical research, standardized methods and semi-structured interview were applied: “The Scale of Time Attitudes” Nutten J.; semi-structured interview on time perception; the method elaborated by E. B. Fantalova. It was revealed that the groups of Russians, Bulgarians are characterized by a positive perception of present time, but the Gagauz people and Ukrainians perceived less positive the presen...
