Abstract
(analytical): This study is based on a functionalist theory of values and characterizes the importance that adolescents from various social positions place on certain values that act as individual guiding principles in their lives. The participants were 736 secondary school students (51,5% females with an average age of 16) from Uberlandia, Brazil who completed an adapted version of the Basic Values Survey (BVS) and provided information about their family's education levels and income. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correspondence analysis. The results indicate that there is a general consensus and higher proportions of high importance given to some central, suprapersonal, interactive and promotion values, corroborating previous research. Variations in normative values such as religiosity and traditions were observed, with their importance decreasing as income and education level increase. This relationship is discussed in terms of the motivating, conforming and ideological functions of religion.
Key words: values, adolescente, economic classes, schooling (Unesco Social Science Thesaurus).
