Abstract

Uurimuse eesmärk oli välja selgitada, kuidas seostuvad hilisteismeliste väärtustega tajutud eakaaslaste ja õpetajate hoolivus, aga ka kooli asukoht ja pere sotsiaalmajandusliku staatuse näitajad. Uurimuses osales 528 kümnenda klassi õpilast (keskmine vanus 16,25). Nende väärtusi hinnati Schwartzi portreeküsimustikuga ning tajutud eakaaslaste ja õpetajate hoolivust kahe üksikväitega. Tulemused näitasid, et teismelised väärtustasid enim heasoovlikkust ja hedonismi. Väikelinna koolide õpilastele oli võim vähem oluline ning turvalisus olulisem kui suurlinna koolide õpilastele. Teismelised, kelle emal oli kõrgem haridus, pidasid kõikehaaravust vähem oluliseks kui need, kelle emal oli madalam haridustase. Kui eakaaslaste hoolivus teismeliste väärtustega ei seostunud, siis õpetajate hoolivus seostus enamiku väärtustega. Mida hoolivamatena tajuti õpetajaid, seda kõrgemalt väärtustati teiste inimeste heaolule, looduse hoidmisele ja reeglite järgimisele orienteeritud väärtusi.
