ANGELUCCI, LUISA et al. VALUES AND SOCIO DEMOGRAPHIC- FACTORS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.1, pp.151-162. ISSN 0123-9155.
The purpose of this study was to compare the values of university students as a function of socio-demographic variables such as: gender, kind of school (religious vs. non-religious; private vs. public), religion (Catholic - Non Catholic) and age. A self-administered scale of 55 values was designed for this research and it was used with a sample of 3.384 students selected intentionally. The values scale showed five dimensions: Cosmopolitan, Social, Instrumental, Moral and Conservative. Results indicated that women presented a higher appreciation of Moral, Social and Conservative values, whereas men valued more the Cosmopolitan values. The students that attended religious schools valued more the Conservative dimension. The socio demographic variable of major influence in the axiological preferences was gender and the value dimension differentiated by most socio-demographic factors was the Conservative.
