Abstract and Figures

This study examined values important for parents of primary school students. Data was collected using Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire, which included Power, Achievement, Hedonism, Stimulation, Self-direction, Universalism, Benevolence, Tradition, Conformity and Security values. Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire, which consisted of 40 articles, was translated into Turkish by Demirutku.The instrument was administered to the parents of primary school students. The participant schools were selected according to the socio-economic conditions. The sample of this study included 238 mothers, 151 fathers and 13 other relatives (e.g. grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt).Responses given by the parents were examined, and means and standard deviations were calculated accordingly. The data, then, was compared with parametric tests (e.g. t-test and Anova). The data obtained was compared to each other in terms of kinship, age, occupation, education level, and students' grade level. As a result, the study concluded that families embraced similar values, and these values did not change significantly in terms of age, occupation, education level, and students' grade level.

This study examined values important for parents of primary school students. Data was collected using Schwartz's Portrait
Values Questionnaire, which included Power, Achievement, Hedonism, Stimulation, Self-direction, Universalism, Benevolence,
Tradition, Conformity and Security values. Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire, which consisted of 40 articles, was
translated into Turkish by Demirutku.The instrument was administered to the parents of primary school students. The participant
schools were selected according to the socio-economic conditions. The sample of this study included 238 mothers, 151 fathers
and 13 other relatives (e.g. grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt).Responses given by the parents were examined, and means and
standard deviations were calculated accordingly. The data, then, was compared with parametric tests (e.g. t-test and Anova). The
data obtained was compared to each other in terms of kinship, age, occupation, education level, and students’ grade level.
As a result, the study concluded that families embraced similar values, and these values did not change significantly in terms of
age, occupation, education level, and students’ grade level.

1. Introduction
Values are the most important criteria that give meaning to socio-cultural elements of the society. Anything
useful for an individual and a group, anything demandable for an individual and a group or anything liked by an
individual or a group is a value (Fichter, 1990 in Özensel, 2003). Individuals learn to distinguish between “the good
and the bad” and between “the right and the wrong” through social rules, customs and traditions; and thus learn to
have a baseline in parallel with their own moralities (Beill, 2003: 14). This baseline constitutes a set of beliefs and
notions. Tezcan (1974:14) stated that values were criteria giving significance and meaning to the whole culture and
society. What establishes a society, which is formed by gathering human beings, is a set of collective values. Despite
there are different definitions and approaches regarding the value concept in social sciences area, value is defined as
a permanent consideration and standard that is internalised by the individual through his interaction with the
environment in the process of socialisation (Başbakanlık, 2010, Özsoy, 2007). Schwartz (1992), on the other hand,
defines value as a state of affairs having a unifying impact on the society or on individuals. Schwartz examines
values at two main levels: individual and cultural. Individual values take into consideration mainly their importance
in guiding or directing people’s lives. Cultural values focus on producing information as to abstract ideas shared by
the society in general and based on social criteria. Schwartz’s individual value types are power, achievement,
hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity, and security, and their
properties are given below (Yazıcı, 2011; Sığrı, Tabak & Ercan, 2009; Akt; Kağııbaşı & Kuşdil, 2000; Schwartz
1992). The aim of this study is to examine the values of the parents of primary school students, and to compare

It was revealed that the difference between Hedonism, Achievement, Self-direction, Universalism, Benevolence,
a significant difference between the importance they attach to Power, Stimulation and Tradition values.It was
determined that civil servant parents attached more importance to Power, compared to housewives and workers.
Additionally, it was pointed out that parents working in civil service attached more importance to the Stimulation
value (being braver, preferring a more flexible and adventurous life) compared to housewives. It was determined
that the farmers were more likely to attach importance to Tradition value, which is mainly related to respect and
devotion to cultural, social or religious norms and beliefs, when compared to the workers.

4. Conclusions
It was determined that there was no significant difference between values, importance to which was attached by
parents with children attending to primary education school, in terms of their kinship (e.g. being a father or a
caused a significant difference in Power, Stimulation and Tradition values. Parents in the civil service attached more
importance to Power, compared to those parents who were housewives or workers. Similarly, the parents in the civil
service gave more importance to Stimulation value when compared to the housewives. The parents working as
farmers embraced the Tradition value more than worker parents. It was revealed that the education level of parents
(e.g. graduate of primary education, secondary education or higher education) led to a significant difference merely
in terms of Hedonism and Stimulation values. It was determined that high school (secondary education) graduates
attached more importance to Hedonism and Stimulation than the primary education graduates.
5. Suggestions
At the end of the study, values important for parents of primary education students were compared in terms of
kinship, occupation and level of education. This study may be repeated in larger samples and with different
variables. Again, based on this study, it is possible to create a map of social, religious, universal, individual, ethical,
etc. values of Turkey. It is also possible to conduct more comprehensive studies on how these values are taught and
will be taught.

... In many countries, the values of parents and children, and the differences between them were investigated. So, Demir & Kok (2012) using a modification of Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire studied values of parents of primary school students and showed that parents consistently preferred values of Universalism, Security, Benevolence, Conformity, Tradition, that did not significantly differs depending on the age, occupation, education level, and students' grade level. Aşikuzun & Kildan (2013) have shown that in spite of the current changes in the world's societies and centuries-old habits due to a new circumstances and experiences, some universal and human values are still a priority for many parents in rearing their children as they were centuries ago. ...
... We note that the hierarchies of basic values among adolescents and their parents look similar except the fact that parents find it very important to maintain and preserve the cultural, family and religious traditions and attach less importance to hedonism (the pursuit of sensual pleasure and satisfaction) and stimulation (the need for various activities and new experiences). This result is consistent with results of investigation by Demir & Kok (2012). ...

The purpose of the study was to identify similarities and differences in life values in adolescents, their mothers and fathers, and to describe the parents’ attitudes to their child's choice of future profession and relationships with parents’ life values. Value's differences of generations can lead to misunderstanding; therefore, we wanted to answer the questions: what are the preferred life values of adolescents and their parents, what are the links between the values and attitudes to the future profession in adolescents, their mothers and fathers? Sample: 76 adolescents (mean age 15.78±0.42), and 105 parents: 61 mothers (mean age 42.97 ± 5.33) and 44 fathers (mean age 44.71 ± 6.71). Methods: the questionnaires for adolescents and for parents; techniques for values’ studying (Schwartz Value Inventory, (SVI), modified forms). Descriptive, correlation, and comparative analysis were conducted. The study revealed high importance of universalism, security, self-direction, and benevolence values for adolescents and their parents; and different relation to the values of stimulation, hedonism, conformity, and tradition. The study showed intergenerational transmission of life values revealed in various different interrelation of values of adolescents and their fathers and mothers. The data of the parents’ involvement, acceptance and support of the adolescent's choice of profession and values of parents with different level of activity in the adolescent's choice of profession can be applied in counseling of parents.

Introduction Depression has become a prominent psychological problem among young people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, academic performance, self-adjustment, campus deviant behavior, and depressive symptoms among adolescents. Methods Based on the survey data of the fifth wave (2017~2018) and the sixth wave (2019~2020) of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study used LISREL8.8 software to analyze 1,577 10~15 data on adolescents. Results In this study, the mean score of self-adjustment was 42.40 (SD = 6.79), the mean score of campus deviant behavior was 12.59 (SD = 4.00), the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2018 was 11.88 (SD = 3.04), and the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2020 was 7.64 (SD = 2.20). Secondly, the frequency of Internet use had no direct effect on the depressive symptoms of adolescents, family atmosphere was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms ( p < 0.005), and academic performance was positively correlated with depressive symptoms ( p < 0.005). Depressive symptoms in 2020 had a direct effect ( β = 0.37, p < 0.001), and also had a negative effect on depressive symptoms in 2020, with a total effect of-0.07 ( p < 0.001); self-adjustment had no direct effect on depressive symptoms in adolescents in 2018, However, the total effect was −0.14 ( p < 0.001), which had a significant positive effect on 2020 depressive symptoms, and the total effect was 0.18 ( p < 0.001), and self-adjustment had a significant negative effect on adolescent campus deviant behavior ( β = −0.38, p < 0.001); in addition, the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, and academic performance all had indirect effects on adolescents’ 2020 depressive symptoms, with total effects of −0.60, 0.01, and 0.02 ( p < 0.001), respectively. This study also found depressive symptoms in adolescents have a certain persistence in time. Discussion Based on this study, it is necessary to pay more attention to the depression of adolescents, strengthen the training of self-adjustment, improve the anti-frustration ability and psychological resilience, and reduce the campus deviant behavior of adolescents. It is recommended to try to start from emotional self-adjustment to promote the personality health of adolescents.

Depression has become a prominent psychological problem among young people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between Internet addiction, family climate, academic performance, self-control, behavioral biases and depressive symptoms in adolescents. Based on the survey data of the fifth wave (2017 ~ 2018) and the sixth wave (2019 ~ 2020) of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study used LISREL8.8 software to analyze 1577 10 ~ 15 data on adolescents. In this study, selected individuals responded to the same depressive symptoms-related questions in both waves of the survey. The study found that Internet addiction had no direct effect on depressive symptoms in adolescents. Family atmosphere was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. Academic performance was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Mediating effects found that Internet addiction, family climate, and academic performance can indirectly affect depressive symptoms through the independent mediation of behavioral deviations and the chain mediation of self-control and behavioral deviations. This study also found depressive symptoms in adolescents have a certain persistence in time. Based on this study, it is necessary to pay more attention to the depression of adolescents, strengthen the training of self-control, improve the anti-frustration ability and psychological resilience, and reduce the problem behavior of adolescents. It is recommended to try to start from emotional self-regulation to promote the personality health of adolescents.

Представлены результаты исследования, целью которого было сравнение иерархии ценностей двух поколений: родителей и детей. Всего выборку составили 468 человек, 290 из которых – представители старшего поколения (средний возраст – 49,5 лет, 59% женщин); 178 человек – их дети (средний возраст – 23,3 года, 60% женщин). Респондентам предлагался список из 16 ценностей (хорошее образование, интересная работа, высокие доходы, счастливый брак, верные друзья, внешняя привлекательность, власть, свобода, известность и т. д.). Из этого списка необходимо было выбрать сначала семь, а затем три наиболее значимые характеристики. Далее проводился подсчет процента респондентов, выбравших определенную ценность как важную, и определение ранга ценности в каждой из выборок. Для статистической обработки результатов использовался критерий углового преобразования Фишера. Было получено, что первые и последние ранговые места в выборке детей и родителей занимают одинаковые ценности. Самыми важными как для старшего, так и для младшего поколения являются такие ценности, как «счастливый брак» и «верные друзья», наименее значимым ценностями стали «власть», «известность» и «популярность среди сверстников». Различия наблюдаются при сравнении частотности выбора той или иной ценности. Так, например, для родителей ценность «счастливый брак» является более значимой, чем для детей, – эту характеристику родители выбирают значимо чаще, чем дети. Схожая ситуация наблюдается и для характеристик с низким рангом: «власть», «известность» и «популярность» статистически более значимы для детей, чем для родителей.

This is the first statistical test of a theory of the structure of human values (Schwartz, 1992). The theory postulates that 10 basic values are discriminated in all societies and that these values form a quasi-circumplex structure based on the inherent conflict or compatibility between their motivational goals. Past support for the theory came from subjective judgments of visual plots of the relations among value items in samples from over 60 countries. We formally test the postulated structure and several potential refinements. We employ a specially designed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approach with new data from two sets of 23 samples from 27 countries (N=10,857). In both data sets, CFAs confirm the 10 basic values, a modified quasi-circumplex rather than a simple circumplex structure, and the claim that values form a motivational continuum.
