Questionnaire Description

The “Family Values” questionnaire was developed by D. Georgas with the aim of measuring an individual’s attitude toward traditional family values. It consists of 18 statements that reflect traditional family values and are grouped into three main thematic categories: hierarchical relationships between mother and father, parental obligations toward their children, and children’s obligations toward the family. The respondent is asked to indicate the degree of agreement with each of these statements.

Data Analysis and Use

The data obtained from the questionnaire are analyzed quantitatively, providing insights into participants’ attitudes toward different aspects of traditional family values. The thematic categorization of the statements allows for separate or comparative analysis of trends related to power relationships within the family, parental responsibilities, and children’s duties. This tool can be used in research and counseling contexts, particularly in fields such as psychology, education, sociology, and cross-cultural studies of values.

Purpose

The purpose of the questionnaire is to measure an individual’s attitude toward traditional family values.

Scoring

Scoring is based on a seven-point Likert scale, where 1 indicates “strongly disagree” and 7 indicates “strongly agree.” Respondents are asked to select a number from 1 to 7 for each statement, indicating the degree to which they agree or disagree with the proposed view.
