Value orientations of adolescents from the perspective of psychosocial factors
(CEP USM, 2024) Paladi, Oxana; Cheptene, Victoria
This article presents some of the authors’ conceptions of values and value orientations. We note that the given paper contains only a sequence of the research carried out on the subject of „Emotional intelligence and value orientations in adolescents” in which value orientations are described in accordance with the results obtained following the administration of the Value Orientations Test, developed by M. Rokeach. This tool determines two types of values, namely: terminal values, represented by ideals or goals, and instrumental values, designated by modes of conduct. The experimental group consists of 341 teenagers. Taking into account that internalization of values promoted by the sociocultural context in which adolescents live is dependent on several factors, we considered it necessary to identify the value orientations of adolescents from the perspective of psychosocial factors: gender, environment of origin. The analysis of the results of the descriptive statistics shows differences both in the male/female subjects and in the subjects from the urban/rural environment, for the terminal value orientations and instrumental value orientations.
