Relationship between Hierarchy of Values and General Health

Values are the basis of a healthy personality. Therefore, this research attempted to investigate the relationship between the hierarchy of values and general health at an overall level, as well as, focusing on subscales. Based on the number of variables in this study and the analytical model’s presuppositions, a sample of 800 men and women in the age range 18 to 30 years, were matched according to their marital status. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Value Survey Test (A.V.L.) were administered. Results of the multiple regression analysis showed that values at the overall level can roughly predict anxiety and sleeplessness, depression and general health in a meaningful manner. Among the values, however, the aesthetics value had the only significant relationship with these variables.
