Description: The present study examined the values of both faculty and graduate students in traditional Doctor of Philosophy programs and in professional Doctor of Psychology programs. Two hundred eighty-six psychology graduate students and seventy-eight psychology faculty members from four traditional and three professional school programs in the midwest completed Rokeach's Value Servey, and a demographic questionnaire.

The findings indicated more value similarity than value dissimilarity between students and faculty and between persons in the two programs. However, some differences did emerge... value rankings were also analyzed according to length of time and individual had been a professional or had been a graduate student. The more years a psychologist had been working in the field the less important was the value "true friendship" and the more important the value "happiness" become.
