Abstract

This study examines the relationship between cultural values and indicators of socio-economic and political development of different countries. Databases of psychological, sociological, economic and political data from 85 countries were used. Cultural values according to R. Inglehart and S. Schwartz were the predictors; dependent variables were indicators of socio-economic and political development of these 85 countries. Using confirmatory factor analysis, two integral cultural dimensions (axes) were developed, and named as “personal Development” and “Development of society”. The location of the countries in the space of these axes made it possible to identify seven cultural areas, including countries similar in value characteristics. Comparison of indicators of their socio-economic and political development allowed to identify and describe the characteristics of cultural and economic profiles of the seven regions of the world and to determine the place and possible ways of development of Russia in the space of integral cultural dimensions

Keywords
