title: Catholic scaled values according to the Allport, Vernon and Lindzey Study of Values in relation to the 1970 national high school norms: grades 10-12.
abstract: Utilizing the Allport, Vernon and Lindzey Scale of Values, six scale values: Theoretical, Economical, Aesthetic, Social Political and Religious were measured. The subjects were in grades 10-12 of seven Greater Cincinnati Catholic High Schools (N = 205) and one public high school (N = 43), tested as a potential control. The scores were compared to 1970 national norms (N = 12,616) with added intra-comparisons between male and female scores. It was shown that local Catholic subjects scored significantly higher than the national general norms on the Aesthetic and Social values and significantly lower on the Theoretical, Economic and Religious values. This pattern was identical for both the Catholic males and females. In addition, the local males scored significantly higher than the local females on the Theoretical value and significantly lower on the Aesthetic and Social values. And, the local public control high school scored significantly higher on the Aesthetic value and significantly lower on the Theoretical value.
