Abstract

The study examines the value structure and priorities of Estonian primary school students by using the Estonian adaptation of the Picture-Based Value Survey for children (PBVS-C). Three hundred and thirty three elementary-school children (aged 7–14, M age = 10.0) completed the instrument. Eighty-eight older students (M age = 11.94) also filled out the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ). Multidimensional scaling confirmed the theorized structure of values. High correlations between the scores of four higher-order values measured by the two instruments supported the content validity of the Estonian PBVS-C. The value hierarchies of children and sex and age differences were similar to those previously reported. The study contributes to the literature by showing that students of higher educated mothers rated openness to change and self-enhancement more highly and self-transcendence less highly than children of lower educated mothers. Moreover, students from schools in the capital city attached more importance to openness to change and less importance to self-enhancement than students from schools in small towns and villages.
