Abstract
The article addresses the issues associated with increasing the reliability of research tools for value orientation studies. Despite the high demand, their methodology requires qualitative improvement. The research objective was to determine the psychometric characteristics of the Subjective Evaluation of Basic Values Realizability (SEBVR) technique. The study was based on the SEBVR technique and the Portrait Values Questionnaire-Revised (PVQ-R) by Schwartz. The data processing included factor analysis, correlation analysis, reliability analysis, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the Mann-Whitney U-test. The analysis involved 1,415 respondents aged 17–29. The authors clarified the factor structure of the SEBVR technique as represented by four scales. They evaluated the reliability characteristics of the internal consistency of the scales, their construct validity, and descriptive statistics for the main SEBVR indicators. The technique proved efficient in identifying differences between male and female respondents. According to its psychometric characteristics, the SEBVR technique appeared to be a fairly reliable research tool, which makes it possible to expand the possibilities of its use in applied research related to exploring young adults’ value orientations in the age group of 17–29 years.Keywords
