Study I As the first in the series, present study attempted to examine the basic structure of values. The subjects were approximately 3,000 students of ICU, their parents and 90 alumni, who responded to 13 items of questionnaire, "Ways to Live" (Morris, 1956). Approximately 1,900 subjects of them responded to three inventories of values were: Ways to Live, Inventory of Religious and Ethical Ways (9 items) and Inventory of Economic and Political Ways (6 items). Principle component analysis and varimax rotation were performed on ratings of 13 ways of all subjects, and extracted four factors, named " I. sympathy & service", "II. introspective life", "III. active action", and "IV. comfort & variousness" respectively. To investigate the underlying value structure among different values, factor analysis was also performed on the ratings of the 28 ways of above mentioned three inventories, and four factors extracted here of were not only consistent with the former four factors, but also found in all subject groups in each period. Study II The second servey was conducted to compare the changes in the view between life of college students and their parents in 1962-63 and in 1993. The deta used here wre collected from 1962-63 freshman (225 males, 202 females), their parents (137 fathers, 153 mothers), 1993 freshman (111 males, 194 females), and their parents (212 fathers, 241 mothers). To compare the above six groups, both rating scores and factor scores of "Ways to Live" were employed. The results obtained from the analysis of variance revealed that there were certain trends such as the increases in ratings of L7 (variousness), L8 (comfort) and L12 (active action), the decreaes in L1 (preserved the best), L2 (farsighted view), L3 (sympathy), L5 (group participant), L6 (effort), L10 (selfcontrol), L11 (meditation) and L13 (service). The significant differences found between the students and their parents in L1 and L4 (enjoyment), manifested psychological conflicts between two generations. Further analysis were made by the comparison of four factor scores as follows. The first factor decreased and the fourth factor increased in 1993. The students decreased their preferences for the first factor more than their parents. The parents placed much higher valur of the second factor than did the students in 1962-63, but the parents' value preferences wer not different from students' in 1993, while only mothers placed lower value than did the other on the third factor. THe students and the mothers markedly increased but the fathers gradually increased on the fourth factor. These trends are consistent with the data on Japanese students of other universities reported by Ando (1974) and on our ICU students reported by Iwasaki, et al. (1983). The present results suggest that the change we observed here from "social-centered value" to "self-centered value" seems to be not only the characteristic of our ICU students but also the general trend of common values among Japanese in recent years.
