Personality and value orientations in early adolescence.
An analysis of the Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Lie scores of 674 13-year-old pupils in comprehensive schools revealed that they held specific relationships to six value orientations: Family Loyalty, Intolerance, Complacency, Passivity, Cynicism and Educational Primacy. These relationships are seen as pointing to an area which, by systematic investigation, would permit the psychology of personality and the sociology of values to be more closely integrated. The existence of three basic 'life orientations', 'Asocial', 'Unsocial' and 'Hypersocial', is suggested.
