The research group included totally 294 high school students including 130 female and 164 males. Basic individual values of the high school students were measured with Portrait Values Scale. For analyzing the data, t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used. As result of the analysis, it was determined that achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, traditionalism, conformity and security basic values of the high school students differed according to gender. Furthermore, power, self-direction and security basic values of the high school students were noticed to differ significantly according to the level of grade. Lastly, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, traditionalism, conformity and security basic values of the students were found to differ significantly according to the type of school. To conclude, some basic individual values of the high school have relationships with gender, type of school and grade level.
