Abstract
Summary Four groups of 75 undergraduates each—Anglo-American and Mexican-American men and women—filled out an Educational Values Inventory (EVI) and answered 13 items on educational practices and personal background. The EVI was scored on Aesthetic Value, Leadership Value, Philosophical Value, Scientific Value, Social Value, and Vocational Value. In all four groups of students mean Vocational Value was highest and mean Social Value second highest. Differences in EVI scores of the two ethnic groups were small, but sex differences in educational values were marked. The mean scores of the two ethnic groups were significantly different only on Leadership Value, on which Mexican-Americans scored higher than Anglo-Americans. Women scored higher than men on Aesthetic Value, Philosophical Value, and Social Value. High scorers on Aesthetic Value and Philosophical Value were more critical of different educational practices than high scorers on Scientific Value and Vocational Value.
