N2 - The paper examines the structure and dimensions of four value concepts included in the most recent German World Values Survey (WVS 2006). These value concepts are Inglehart’s postmaterialism concept, a reduced version of the Schwartz Value Inventory (SVI), the concept of value synthesis by Klages & Gensicke, and Inglehart & Welzel’s two-dimensional concept of secular rational and self-expression values. Relating the concepts to each other, we aim at detecting common patterns in individual-level value orientations. We find major similarities: The concepts by Schwartz and Klages & Gensicke form three common factors – two of them overlap with Inglehart’s one-dimensional materialism/ postmaterialism concept. In addition, our results suggest that Inglehart & Welzel’s self-expression values are an underlying factor of Schwartz’s value dimensions, balancing an increasing orientation towards individualism with an altruist orientation.
