| dcterms.abstract | Studying economic values and beliefs and their relationship with attitudes and behavior has been common in most social sciences throughout the world, at least since the 1960s. However, Portugal remained very much outside this research program and, contrary to the majority of European countries or the United States, it still lacks a coherent an integrative research on economic values, beliefs and behaviors. On the other hand, the existing data (European and World Value Surveys, Eurobarometer or the Portuguese Statistics Institute) only offers a partial view of the individual’s relationship with the economic system, namely consumer confidence or general ideas of trust. The studies already developed on this subject are normally restricted to the association of economic values and beliefs with socio-demographic characteristics, failing to include both the analysis of behaviors and the impact all these variables may have on economic performance indicators. The current study is intended as a first step towards a deeper comprehension of these phenomena. The general purpose of this study was to describe and explain the economic values, beliefs and attitudes of the Portuguese population and how they were associated with behaviors linked to economic performance. The research was oriented to four main goals: 1 – The description and explanation of the formation of economic values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, based on questionnaire submitted to a national sample, stratified by regional areas. 2 – The identification of the existent linkages between these micro-sociological variables and regional and national economic performance (e.g. GDP, unemployment rates, inflation, investment, debt and wages). 3 - The exploration of the role of human and social capital as moderators between microsociological variables and a support for different types of economic values. | |
