Abstract

The values and value orientations are an important aspect of the behaviour of the young. The way they interpret reality: the social circumstances, other people, and also themselves, is significantly determined by what they consider as a value. This paper treats the question about the values of the young in relation with the fundamental dispositions of the personality (extroversion – introversion; neuroticism and psychoticism) and the educational climate in the family. The sample of this research includes 117 high school students aged 17 and 18. We used the following instruments: the scale for measuring value orientations and EPQ. Contrary to the expectations, regarding the education of the parents, we found statistically significant differences among the respondents regarding the two following orientations (out of a total of 10): the popular and egoistical lifestyle. Similarly, regarding the personality traits, we found a significant connection of the following characteristics: Psychoticism, with a religious style; Extroversion, again with a religious style, and neuroticism with a religious and an egotistical style; According to the results of the introversion characteristic, we did not find significant differences among the respondents. These results show the complex nature of the connection among the value orientations, the personality traits and the educational climate in the family.
