Abstract

ALMEIDA, Leonor  and  TAVARES, Patrícia. Life values in technologies and humanities college students. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.2, pp.153-168. ISSN 1677-0471.

We intend to characterize the value system from a group of college students and analyze the differences between groups considering the variables: field of studies (Humanities vs. Technologies), gender, geographic area (Lisbon vs. Interior), and public vs. private universities. To operationalize the variables we have used Life Values Inventory (LVI) with a sample of 271 college students. Significant differences were founded between groups for all variables except geographic area. Exploratory Factor Analysis of Life Values Inventory, items/Reliability analysis Alpha coefficients were runned. Accepted Alpha coefficients were obtained. The factorial structure, revealed an 11 factor structure responsible for 63% of total variance. The results have relevance for the discussion in this thematic field.

Keywords : Life values; LVI; College Students; Career Development.
