| description | Acquisition of values in childhood has become an attention-grabbing topic in recent
years. The aim of this study was to apply the Picture-Based Value Survey (PBVS-C) to children
whose ages ranged from 6 to 11 years and to examine value priorities in middle childhood,
value changes related to age, sex, and mother’s education. For this aim, PBVS-C was applied
to 192 students from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades who resided in Ankara and whose ages ranged
from 6 to 11 years in Ankara (49 % girls, Sgirl = 1.17; 50.5 % boys, Sboy = 1.25).
Multidimensional scaling analysis was used to confirm the circular structure of values proposed
by Schwartz and the PROXSCAL module in the SPSS program was used for statistical
calculations. The value sequence obtained from multidimensional scaling analysis showed a
very similar distribution to the value sequence proposed by Schwartz. Accordingly, Schwartz's
theoretical model has been confirmed, in accordance with the four-dimensional structure
consisting of two bipolar dimensions: openness-to-change - conservation and self-enhancement
-self-transcendence. Moreover, it was found that children give priority to values of
benevolence, universality, and security, and higher-order values of self-transcendence and selfenhancement. Our research findings showed that value priorities differ according to age, sex,
and mother’s education. Therefore, these findings can be a guide for professionals working in
and out of the schools. |
