This study used structural equation modelling to test how political orientations (self-reported placement on socially liberal-conservative and economically left-right continuums) could be predicted from basic worldviews (a generally humanistic vs. normativistic orientation) and basic personal values (concepts pertaining to desirable end states or behaviors) in conjunction with core political values (normative principles about functioning of society) in a population sample from Sweden. In general, political orientation was much more strongly predicted by social-focus values (conservation and self-transcendence), and only weakly predicted by personal-focus values (self-enhancement and openness to change). The results also showed that basic personal values in conjunction with core political values mediated the relationship between basic worldviews and political orientation.
本研究运用结构方程模型，以测试在瑞典的一个人口样本中，如何根据基本世界观（普遍的人文主义与规范主义取向）、基本个人价值观（与理想的终极状态或行为相关的概念）以及核心政治价值观（关于社会运作的规范性原则）来预测政治取向（自我报告在社会自由-保守和经济左-右连续统上的位置）。总体而言，社会焦点价值观（保守和自我超越）对政治取向的预测力要强得多，而个人焦点价值观（自我提升和对变革的开放性）对其预测力较弱。结果还表明，基本个人价值观与核心政治价值观共同介导了基本世界观与政治取向之间的关系。
