Modernity Change of Core and Periphery Values of Factory Workers
研究检验了晚期社会化能否让传统背景的人达到与早期现代化背景者同等的现代性水平，发现早期社会化直接影响核心价值观的现代性，而晚期社会化仅对边缘价值观有间接影响。
This study examines the proposition that late socialization processes may bring “traditional” people to a level of modernity equal to that of people who had the benefit of modern early socialization. The study suggests that a differentiation should be made between modernity changes in value orientations which are at the core and those at the periphery of the personality system. Its basic proposition is that early socialization influences will affect modernity of both core and periphery value orientations, while late socialization influences will affect modernity of periphery values only. Data analysis indicates that early socialization directly influences modernity of core values and indirectly influences modernity of periphery ones. Late socialization was found to have an effect mainly on periphery values, and even this effect was found to be mostly an indirect effect of early socialization. Late socialization was found to have no independent effect on modernity.
