Abstract	"The aim of the research was to study which values were considered more important by the students, which value structures characterized the basic school and secondary school students, and whether there were differences in the boys and girls' values in the ages of the basic and the secondary school. In the present research, 1,071 Estonian basic school (509) and secondary school (562) students participated. It was a cluster sample. The students were given 16 values which they had to place in sequence of importance for them. As a result of the research, it was established that the following values were considered most important: having friends, honesty, the others' esteem and knowledge. At the bottom of the hierarchy of values, placed in the order of importance, were high position in the society, wealth and modern clothes. The differences between the selections of boys and girls were revealed. The boys gave more importance than girls to the values wealthy and high position in the society and athletic, and the girls gave more importance than boys to the values having friends and honesty and independence (self-made decisions). To study the structure of values, the factor analysis (Principal Components Method with Varimax rotation) was carried out. As a whole, among the factors of values of all students, there are three hedonism-type, two benevolence-type and two achievement-type factors but no power-type or self-direction-type factors. Among the factors of Form 8, there are no self-direction-type factors. Among the factors of Form 11, there are no benevolence-type factors." (author's abstract).
