Purpose - This study
was conducted to investigate the value types possessed by university students.
Moreover, it was aimed at examining whether value types of students differ in
terms of their demographic characteristics.
Methodology
- Portrait Values Questionnaire
was employed to 328 students studying in a private and a public university
located in Istanbul within the sample of the study. Gathering data were
analyzed via means, standard deviation, frequency and percentage analysis
within descriptive analyses and non-parametric analyses such as Mann-Whitney U
and Kruskal-Wallis were used to analyze diversities in terms of demographic
characteristics.
Findings- . Findings
gathered from research were revealed that students mostly identified themselves
with universalism, security and selfdirection values whereas they identified
themselves with power value at least. In addition, it was found out that value
types of students differ according to their demographic characteristics.
Conclusion- In light of
findings, a conclusion can be drawn as individuals tend to overcome their
selfish concerns rather than try to achieve their own personal interests and
goals to protect the prosperity of society and the existence of nature.
