Values are part of human life that condition its quality and sense in a great extent. They also constitute the subject of scientific exploration, most of all, in the area of humanities and social sciences, including psychology and pedagogy. Values also have a significant influence on social functioning of an individual. In the process of assessment of events, other people or oneself, they play the role of standards of what is desired. In this article, Schwarz theory of values, postulating commonness of values and universality of their structure, was adopted. Carried out analyses are based on the Five Factor Theory by McCrae and Costa, also known as the Big Five. The aim of the carried out analyses was to determine the relationships between oneʼs personality traits and preferred values. A group of Polish students (N = 326), women and men, took part in the studies. Obtained results indicate the existence of significant relationships between explored variables. Most significant correlations with value preferences show the following dimensions: Agreeableness, Extraversion and Openness to Experience. Conscientiousness correlates with a relatively lower number of values, whereas Neuroticism only with one category of values. The results of the studies allow exploration of personality conditioning of values esteemed by young people and the structure of analysed relationships. The results of the studies may also be used in psychological and pedagogical practice, in order to design and implement rearing actions focused on shaping of the system of values, taking into account individual differences among people. In future studies on relations between personal characteristics and preferred personal values, it would be worthwhile to take into account the significance of mediating and modifying factors – mediators and moderators of studied relationships. Taking into account socio-demographic variables and also subject variables, such as self-image, individualistic and collectivist orientation, social axioms, also seems interesting.
