Elección y preferencia de valores en estudiantes universitarios Mexicanos

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the choice and preferences showing a group of students from the Autonomous University of Yucatan (Mexico) (n = 400) about a wide whole ofvalues. We carried out an descriptive-quantitative research in which the participants were asked to express their greater or lesser degree of satisfaction towards ten categories of values by means of a questionnaire with criterial validity (95% trust) and reliability (aα = .96). The results allow to identify a hierarchy in which students express their degree of satisfaction to each one of the proposed values, and possible predictions from a set of variables.
