- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to construct the Youth Value Scale of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and investigate and compare the current situation of youth values in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the designed scale. The Youth Value Scale of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was constructed by identifying the main factors that explain the youth values based on the characteristics of Lingnan culture. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out for the scale. Seven dimensions of the youth values: “National Identity”, “Family Happiness”, “Enjoyment of Happiness”, “Social Harmony”, “Pioneering and Innovation”, “Forge Ahead” and “Wealth and Status” were identified. Based on these factors, this paper compares the similarities and differences in the ranking of youth values in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao thoroughly. Practically, This paper may fill in the gaps in the study of youth values in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, providing a good example for the study of regional values. It can also provide decision-making grounds for guiding youth in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to establish correct values.
