Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to create a measurement of social cohesion using the micro data from the 1999 European Values Study. That 1999 study contains a great number of subjective and objective items that measure attitudes toward and behaviour regarding social relations, participation, and trust at many levels of social reality as well as in many spheres/domains of everyday life. Empirical analyses/construction of social cohesion indicators is realized by employing multidimensional scaling and confirmatory
factor analysis.
