Abstract :
The aim was to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of basic human values and personality traits of three adulthood stages in females and males. A sample of 328 people (169 women and 159 men) was used. The participants were divided into three age groups: young adults (20-39) middle aged adults (40-65) and old adults (66-88). As for the instruments, the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) (Schowartz and Ross, 1995) and A 10-item short version of the big five inventory (Rammstedt & John, 2007) were used. The results of correlational analysis between dimensions of basic human values and personality traits showed a significant positive relationship between personal focus values and extraversion, openness to change and a significant negative correlation with regard to agreeableness. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between social focus values and agreeableness and conscienceness, while there was a negative correlation with extraversion (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed a significant difference among age groups with regard to social focus values (P < 0.05). The development trend was increasing and the second age group had the maximum social focus values. Among the gender groups regarding personal focus values the difference was significant (P < 0.05). Males showed the highest mean scores regarding the personal focus values aspect.
