BERAMENDI, Maite; ESPINOSA, Agustín  and  ARA, Sol. Axiological profiles of students from three university careers: discriminant functions of three interpretation of the Schwartz´s theory. liber. [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1, pp.45-54. ISSN 1729-4827.

The present study aims to describe axiological profiles of students of psychology, business-administration and engineering from a private university of Buenos Aires, Argentina (n = 211). The axiological differences are analyzed on the three proposal interpretation according to Schwartz´s values. The results show that students prioritized those axiological dimensions which include values of universalism and benevolence, and they attribute less importance. The three interpretations discriminate the axiological profiles of the students according to the career, although with a limited capacity. It´s seen a discrepancy between the dimensions that contain the values of universalism and benevolence, and the value of power. Also, the axiological differentiation from career´s profile is related to the impact of gender on them.

Keywords : Discriminant Analysis; Career´s Profile; Gender; Values.
