Shalom Schwartz developed and continuously refined a comprehensive theory on the structure of values. Building on Guttman's facet approach, the theory specifies a set of dynamic relations among values by referring to mutual compatibilities and conflicts in the pursuit of the motivational concerns that they express. In addition, he summarized these dynamic relations in terms of a two-dimensional bipolar structure. We tried to replicate this structure in our study. Other than Schwartz, however, we did not use the 'Schwartz Value Survey' for this purpose. Instead, we applied a short version of Morris' 'Ways to Live', the 'Kilmann Insight Test', and McClelland's 'Personal Values Questionnaire'. Data were analyzed by means of nonmetric multidimensional scaling. Results show that many though not all features of the Schwartz values model could be replicated.
