Vecchione et al. (Br J Psychol, 106, 2015, 84) demonstrated the effects of four higher-order values on political participation across 20 European countries. In their Study 1, they found that political participation was related to three higher-order basic values and that these associations were stronger in more democratic countries. The present study attempted a replication using a more rigorous modelling approach. Multilevel structural equation models with latent variables for both participation and basic values replicated the main effects of Self-Transcendence and Conservation values but demonstrated negative effects of Openness values (vs. positive in the original study) and positive effects of Self-Enhancement values (vs. ambiguous or insignificant in the original study), while cross-level interactions indicated weaker effects of values in more democratic countries (vs. the opposite in the original study). These discrepancies appeared mostly due to the original study’s implicit assumption that basic values’ measurement errors were zero. The new results indicated a counter-intuitive similarity of effects of supposedly opposite values. Self-Transcendence–Self-Enhancement is suggested to be a politically motivating value dimension, whereas Openness to Change–Conservation is a dimension that discourages political participation regardless of the preferred extreme.

欧洲的政治参与和基本价值观：Vecchione 等人的复制和推广。(2015)

维奇奥内等人。( Br J Psychol , 106, 2015, 84) 证明了四个高阶价值观对 20 个欧洲国家的政治参与的影响。在他们的研究 1 中，他们发现政治参与与三个更高阶的基本价值观有关，并且这些联系在更民主的国家中更为强大。本研究尝试使用更严格的建模方法进行复制。具有参与和基本价值的潜在变量的多级结构方程模型复制了自我超越和守恒价值的主要影响，但证明了开放价值的负面影响（与原始研究中的积极相比）和自我增强价值的积极影响（与. 在原始研究中模棱两可或微不足道），而跨层次的互动表明，在更民主的国家中，价值观的影响较弱（与 在原始研究中相反）。这些差异的出现主要是由于原始研究的隐含假设，即基本值的测量误差为零。新结果表明，假设相反值的影响存在违反直觉的相似性。自我超越 - 自我提升被认为是一个政治激励的价值维度，而对变革的开放 - 保护是一个不鼓励政治参与的维度，无论偏好的极端如何。
