Abstract
The article describes the results of a cross-cultural empirical study of the value orientations of Muslim youth in the North-Western Caucasus. The research involved 727 respondents (Adygs – Kabardians and Circassians, Karachais, Balkars). Due to the research needs the following methods were used: the method of measuring the cultural value orientations and the method of measuring the values at the individual level (Value Survey by Shalom Shvartz), the “Ethnic affiliation” method by G.U. Soldatova. On the basis of the data obtained, a general conclusion was made. For Muslim youth in the NorthWestern Caucasus shows the high level of collectivistic values importance, but the values of Independence and Mastery are important either. The analysis of the Islamic factor in the formation of value orientations of young people, the dynamics of the correlation of collectivistic and individualistic values as well as a dynamic of changing in the collectivism types balance (the group belonging) requires further study.
