We are conducting a 3-year research study on Lithuanian values. We are interested in Lithuanians who have emigrated from Lithuania and are currently living in another country. We would like to learn whether living in another country shapes individuals’ personal values and in what ways. We are interested in the factors that shape our values. Importantly, do individual values change as a result of living in a new country? How long does this process take? Are the values of Lithuanians living abroad different from nonmigrant Lithuanians?

Have you emigrated from Lithuania?

Do you permanently live in any of the following countries?

✔ USA ✔ UK ✔ IRELAND ✔NORWAY ✔ GERMANY

This project is funded by the Lithuanian Research Council.

Read some of our previously published papers on migrant values.

Our paper on Lithuanian migrants and values has found a relationship between values and intentions to emigrate.

We have also analyzed the values of members of the Lithuanian diaspora. We found both similarities and differences in values between foreign-born Lithuanians and both Lithuanian emigrants and nonmigrant Lithuanians. Read the paper.
