In this case it's entirely factor analysis of responses to a particular survey, the World Values Survey [1], which gets periodically administered across a number of countries. The survey data and factor analysis can be done in a fairly "objective" way, in the sense that you do have answers that vary between countries, and you can analyze trends there. Whether the factors pulled out of these particular sets of questions can accurately be labeled with fairly strong terms like "traditionalism" is maybe more controversial. You also have the general issues around self-response data. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Values_Survey |
