Abstract
The dimensions emerging from the responses of a Canadian sample of university students to Morris' (1956) “Ways to Live Value Scale” and to Cattell's, et al. (1957) 16 PF Test were compared with the dimensions reported for American samples of students by Morris and Jones (1955) and Cattell (1956). Reasonable factor stability was found across the Canadian and American data on both value and personality dimensions. The relationships between the value and personality factors were computed for the Canadian sample. 32% of the variance of the personality dimension, Independence, was accounted for by the value preferences, while 1% of the anxiety dimension, 7% of the extraversion dimension, and 7% of the tendency toward environmental manipulation dimension were accounted for. Such analyses of the interrelationships between values and personality may be a fruitful technique for future cross-cultural research.
