The Main Square reported a logical but surprising investigation result. Recent research on European stocks has confirmed this, as has been suggested in previous surveys:
Hungarians in Transylvania have the same conservative views on family, gender roles, homosexuality, abortion, and God as the Romanian majority, while Hungary is more liberal on these issues.
Since 1981, the European Values Study (EVS) has examined the attitudes of people in Western countries towards family, work, religion, the social environment and politics. However, what is new is that for the first time minorities were also measured, Hungarians from Transylvania and Swedes from Finland were placed first on the value map of the wider Europe in a geographical sense. Russia and the Caucasus countries were also included in the survey.
Respondents’ values were assessed in terms of privacy liberalism, family responsibilities, and gender role expectations, which were broken down into additional subtopics such as homosexuality, abortion, divorce, motherhood, parental responsibility, and differences between women and men. in the public and private sectors. The survey clearly showed a sharp dividing line in everyday life between the western half of Europe and the former socialist countries.
Of particular interest are the differences between the Hungarian-Hungarian majority and minority existence, that is, on both sides of the border.
In the case of a minority under constant pressure, the forces of cultural cohesion, such as religion, play a key role, and if all this is done in a highly religious majority society, it is not surprising that the proportion of religiosity is equally high among the Hungarians in Transylvania.
The religiosity of the Hungarians in Transylvania is similar to that of the Romanian majority:
- 99 percent have a denominational affiliation,
- 97 percentage to believe in God
- 3. 4 percentage church visitor,
- 83 percentage usually pray
- 89 percentage professes to be religious.
The same is true of the abortion issue, in which Hungarians in Transylvania are even stricter than Romanians.
In the survey, only respondents from Caucasian countries were more negative than them. The situation is similar with respect to gender roles, where only Belarusian, Russian and Caucasian respondents supported the “It is the man’s job to earn money, it is the woman’s job to take care of the home and the family” finding.
