Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the structure of personal values. A multifaceted definition of values from different life areas or domains was developed. Data from two samples of Israeli respondents were used to test structural hypotheses regarding the link between the definitional framework and empirical observations. Through factory analysis and smallest space analysis, value modality and life area were verified to be basic facets of the values domain. A three-dimensional conical representation of the personal values domain was identified.
