GARCIA, VÍCTOR ABELLA; BARBERO, FERNANDO LEZCANO  e  MUNOZ, RAQUEL CASADO. EVALUATION OF THE HIERARCHY OF HUMAN VALUES BY SCHWARTZ IN ADOLESCENCE: GENDER DIFFERENCES AND EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.68, pp.123-146. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782017226807.

Schwartz proposed ten value dimensions which are discriminated among countries and cultures in his theory of basic human values. This study explores the values proposed in a group of adolescents. The sample was 499 adolescents: 267 men and 232 women. Participants completed the personal value questionnaire. The value hierarchy obtained showed that hedonism and the values included in the higher order types self-trascendence and openness to change were the preferred values. Values related with the higher order types conservation and self-enhancement were less important values for adolescents. Gender significant differences were found in the importance given to universalism, benevolence, conformity and security. Values hierarchy obtained in this study with adolescents differs from others obtained for adults in previous research. Results obtained may contribute to the development of didactic proposals to increase pupil motivation, and to decrease the academic failure.
