Abstract: The article presents the results of a research work aimed at assessing the comprehension of values (the structure of value types and the relations of conflict an compatibility among value types) by chosen samples (N = 446) of adolescents from four different areas (Prekmurje, Slovenian Coast, Italian Trieste and Gorizia, Klagenfurt). Our goal was the assessment of any similarities between results of our study and results obtained by Schwartz as well as the assessment of any similarities between values of adolescents from chosen areas. Results show that (i) in general, there is a substantial match between the location of values per each value type found by Schwartz and the one uncovered by our research, (ii) the number of empirically formed value types does not vary when compared areas share a common social structure, and (iii) empirically found relations of conflict and compatibility between value types from Trieste and Gorizia, Klagenfurt and Slovenian Coast do not differ from each other, while they do differ from the ones found in the sample from Prekmurje.
