Both groups were self-contained classes. The experimental
group participated in values-clarification experiences during
two forty-five minute periods each week for sixteen weeks.
The control group was involved in a regular language arts
program, emphasizing grammar and reading. The instructor
of the control group utilized the lecture and group assign-
ment approach. No attempt was made to work with values.
The instrument used to measure value claims was the
Values Inventory. The Values Inventory contained eight sub-
scales. All of the subscales were administered to both the
experimental group and the control group at the beginning and
at the conclusion of the values-clarification experiences.
After the data were gathered and tabulated, the results
were statistically analyzed using the analysis of covariance
technique. A significance level of .05 was required for
acceptance of the hypotheses. All the hypotheses accepted
were significant at the .01 level. The statistical analysis
of the data gave the following results.
Hypothesis I was accepted. The magnitude of change
between pretest and posttest scores on the "tolerance and
worth of others" subscale of the Values Inventory was greater
in the experimental group than it was in the control group.
The experimental group made a gain in the mean scores, but
the control group dropped on the adjusted mean scores follow-
ing the posttest.
