Resumo: The instability of Latin American countries’ democracy has been attributed to the tension between typical values of the non-democratic and democratic regimes. However, few studies analyse the simultaneous relations between the set of value systems and people’s democratic attitudes. This study examines the goodness of fit of a model on these relations. The model was tested on a survey (N = 300) on which were applied the Questionnaire for Psychosocial Values and the Scale of Attitudes towards Democracy. The results of a structural equations model show an organization of values into four systems: post-materialist; religious; hedonist; materialist. Furthermore, the results also indicate that the adhesion to materialist system predicts a negative attitude toward democracy and the adhesion to pos-materialist values predicts a negative one. The discussion focuses on the comparison between these results and those obtained in previous studies. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v19i1/2.404

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v19i1/2.404A instabilidade da Democracia nos países latino-americanos tem sido atribuída à tensão entre valores típicos de regimes ditatoriais e valores típicos de regimes democráticos. Contudo, poucos estudos analisam as relações simultâneas entre o conjunto dos sistemas de valores e as atitudes democráticas das pessoas. Este artigo submete a teste um modelo sobre essas relações. O modelo foi testado num estudo (N = 300) em que foram aplicados o Questionário de Valores Psicossociais e a Escala de Atitudes em Relação à Democracia. Os resultados de um modelo de equações estruturais mostram a organização dos valores em quatro sistemas: pós-materialista; religioso; hedonista; materialista. Os dados revelam ainda que o sistema materialista prediz uma atitude negativa em relação à democracia e o sistema pós-materialista relaciona-se positivamente com essa mesma atitude. A discussão focou-se na comparação entre estes resultados e os obtidos em estudos anteriores.
