The Values Scale: Differences Across Grade Levels for Ethnic Minority Students

Abstract
The present study examined age-level differences in work values as measured by the Values Scale (VS) using national norms. An additional focus of the study was to evaluate whether general population VS norms were applicable to this sample of ethnic minority students. Participants in the study were 323 Hispanic or African American students enrolled in the 9th grade, the 12th grade, or college.
