%X the instability of latin american countries£¿ democracy has been attributed to the tension between typical values of the non-£¿democratic and democratic regimes. however, few studies analyse the simultaneous relations between the set of value systems and people£¿s democratic attitudes. this study examines the goodness of fit of a model on these relations. the model was tested on a survey (n = 300) on which were applied the questionnaire for psychosocial values and the scale of attitudes towards democracy. the results of a structural equations model show an organization of values into four systems: post-£¿materialist; religious; hedonist; materialist. furthermore, the results also indicate that the adhesion to materialist system predicts a negative attitude toward democracy and the adhesion to pos-£¿materialist values predicts a negative one. the discussion focuses on the comparison between these results and those obtained in previous studies.
