Social Cognitions and Cultural Dimensions in the Romanian Educational Field
The
aim of this study, conducted on a sample of 522 subjects, was to
explore the main profiles of subjects, in terms of cultural
dimensions and personal autonomy patterns, belonging to the Romanian
educational environment, evidencing the role of cultural factors in
generating a problematic profile (deficient personal autonomy,
expressed by low self-determination, low self-esteem and externalist
attributional patterns), regardless of the generational or
organizational (pre-university vs. university) characteristics of the
subjects. The intergenerational analysis carried out shows the
highest level of autocratic opening (i.e. power distance) and
duplicitous pattern (i.e. social cynicism) for the young generation,
in comparison with the older ones. The paper also discusses the
implications of these profiles for assessing the modernization
process in the Romanian educational environment.
