Tolerance, Postmaterialist values, Cultural changeAbstract
Ronald lnglehart, among other researchers, has argued that the emergence of postmaterialist values in the world was being accompanied by a more tolerant attitude towards minority groups and victims of prejudice. Although satisfactorily tested in the context of post-industrial nations, this hypothesis cannot be immediately applied to developing countries and materially unresolved, such as Latin America ones. This paper aims to contribute to this debate by presenting results of empirical tests regarding this hypothesized association in the Brazilian context. Using data produced by the World Values Survey, we present a summary of the evolution of some of the indicators on the theme of tolerance as well as the place of Brazilians within the Latin American scenario.Downloads
