title: [Adolescents' values: motivational axes].
abstract: The impact of both gender and nationality on the motivational dimensions of human values was assessed on a male/female 140-teenager sample studying at an American high school. Sample was a half-and-half split group between Americans and Brazilians. Sixty values were evaluated: 56 cross-cultural values, and 4 values peculiar to the Brazilian culture. Subgroup differences were checked up at both the motivational type level and the values bipolar dimension's level. Girls placed a stronger emphasis than boys on values related to self-transcendence of selfish concerns, and promotion of other people's welfare. Americans scored higher on achievement values while Brazilians scored higher on hedonistic values.
