The present study compared the values of college-bound students with those of high school seniors-in-general on the Work Values Inventory. College-bound males scored significantly lower than the standardization sample on 13 of the 15 scales; college-bound females obtained lower scores on 10 scales. Rank-order comparisons indicated appreciable similarity in the value-hierarchy of collegiate men and women. The findings suggest the need for the development of normative data for more meaningful use in counseling college students.
