Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the relationship among personal value priorities, gender and age. The Schwartz Value Survey was administered to a sample of Spanish teenagers. The scores obtained in value types were used as independent variables in a Discriminant Analysis to show the differential pattern of value priorities which is associated with sex and age.

Results show that men’s values are associated with socially desirable masculine personality traits, whereas women’s values are associated with socially desirable femenine traits. On the other hand, the analysis of value priorities in relation to age supports the hypothesis that the developmental progression in adolescence demands increasing autonomy. Differences were found in adolescent values so that early adolescence seems to be associated with a higher priority of conformity and late adolescence
seems to foster change-oriented value priorities.

Results are discussed and future lines of research are suggested.
