The Significance of reflexivity in the framework of wider societal trends and cyclesGolob, Tea (Avtor) Makarovič, Matej (Avtor) reflexivitymodernisation trendsindividualisationsocietal cyclesSloveniaThe article analyses the decline of reflexivity in Slovenia based on four waves of a national survey conducted between 2018 and 2024. The findings reveal a consistent reduction in reflexivity levels, contradicting the linear expectations of modernisation trends of individualisation, universalisation, structural differentiation, and rationalisation. Instead, the results suggest growing instability within prevailing cultural frameworks and value systems, indicating a shift away from individualistic and materialistic orientations. These trends imply that social change may be better understood through cyclical rather than linear models, reflecting generational replacement or broader transformations in the cultural foundations of late modern societies.20262026-07-01 13:21:39Neznano14117UDK: 316.3ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348COBISS_ID: 283253763DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2026.02sl
