A RESEARCH ON VALUES POSSESSED BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Abstract
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.
