Our own developed value system typology, based on the concept of R. Inglehart is presupposed the existence of three independent socio-cultural types: orienting to the values of adaptation (intention to physical and economic security), socialization (orientation towards the norms and values adopted in the society) or individualization (direction to self-development and self-realization). However, the dominance of values of adaptation, socialization or individualization to some extent reflects the orientation towards the past, present or future, consequently. The described value types show obvious dependence on a particular time locus and have different relation to the past, the present and the future.
