Abstract

The motivational structure of human values was examined
with data from two samples, one composed by university students (N = 244)
and the other by school teachers (N = 154). Sixty values were evaluated,
56 cross-cultural values and four peculiar to Brazilian culture. Smallest
space analyses of the importance ratings given by subjects to the 60 values,
revealed nine and eigth distinct motivational types of values in the students
and teachers samples respectively, corresponding with those postulated in
the hypotheses. The interests that values serve (individual vs collective)
were also verified in both samples. Moreover, the value types were organized
dynamically in relation to one another, as predicted by the patterns
of compatible or contradictory motivation. Finally, the four Brazilian values
were also integrated in the postulated motivational structure. Empirical
indexes are suggested to measure the importance of each of the motivational
value types for use in future research.
