20.500.12556/DKUM-88808 How personal values follow the societal lockdown due to COVID-19 case of business students in Slovenia We examined patterns of change and stability in four individual-level higher-order groups of Schwartz personal values among individuals during societal lockdown caused by COVID-19 epidemic. The study involves comparison of personal values of 85 business students during societal lockdown, with their personal values in pre- and post-pandemic periods. Sampled group of individuals includes undergraduate and graduate students from University of Maribor, Faculty of Economics and Business, Maribor, Slovenia. Contrary to previous publications, our results indicate a decrease of mean-level for all four higher-order groups of individuals’ values during societal lockdown of COVID-19. In the value hierarchy, self-transcendence values remain first, followed by conservation, openness to change, and self-enhancement values. In the period after the COVID-19, personal values again approached their pre-pandemic levels. Self-transcendence and conservation returned close to baseline levels, while openness to change and self-enhancement values exceeded initial pre-epidemic levels. In the value hierarchy, lead openness to change values, followed by the self-transcendence, self-enhancement, and conservation values. We discuss perceived changes in business students’ values due to the COVID-19 pandemic and present their capacities for dealing with potential unfavorable and threatening circumstances in the future. personal values COVID-19 societal lockdown young adults changing values osebne vrednote COVID-19 zaprtje mladi odrasli spreminjanje vrednot true false true Frontiers Research Foundation Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-05-27 09:46:57 2024-05-27 10:00:08 2024-05-28 03:30:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-13 Št. članka 987715 Letn. 14 apr. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-07-06 2023-04-13 2023-04-13 005.4 150546691 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.987715 1664-1078 Potocan-2023-How_personal_values_follow_the_so.pdf Potocan-2023-How_personal_values_follow_the_so.pdf 1 68FF200C8B4D68874EE5256977DEC92F e489ecd3067f9b91e8f31c27e15153e08876634422f9d55ea2c9b8a8d036609e f0876e9c-1bfe-11ef-a1ea-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=179773 https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.987715 0 4dd95158-1bfd-11ef-a1ea-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=179772 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
