  • Life Values Among Lebanese and Portuguese College Students: a Cross-Cultural Comparison
    Peer-Reviewed Article © Journal of International Students Volume 10, Issue 1 (2020), pp. 159-180 ISSN: 2162-3104 (Print), 2166-3750 (Online) Doi: 10.32674/jis.v10i1.760 ojed.org/jis Life Values Among Lebanese and Portuguese College Students: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Cátia Marques Maria do Céu Taveira University of Minho, Portugal Mayssah El Nayal Beirut Arab University, Lebanon Ana Daniela Silva University of Minho, Portugal Valdiney Gouveia Federal University of Paraiba, Brazil ABSTRACT This study aims to test the applicability of the functional theory of life values and score differences among a group of students from Lebanon and Portugal. Participants include 565 college students—278 Lebanese and 287 Portuguese. A demographic questionnaire and an adapted version of the Basic Values Survey were completed. Confirmatory/multigroup factor analysis, a generalized Procrustes analysis, and a t test were used. Results indicate that content and structure hypotheses were equivalent among the two groups. There were significant differences between the Lebanese and Portuguese students in normative and promotion values in favor of the first group, and in interactive, suprapersonal, and excitement values in favor of the second. This study has implications for institutional academic and social practices with international college students. Keywords: assessment, college students, confirmatory factor analysis, construct validity, functional theory, life values 159 Journal of International Students INTRODUCTION Life values have a central role in the construction of social action, constitute a key element of each individual’s cognitive system, and determine attitudes, opinions, and behaviors (Bardi & Goodwin, 2011; Rokeach, 1973). To measure these values, Gouveia (1998, 2003, 2013) and Gouveia et al.
