Drawing value profiles for young hungarians selecting careers in the helping professions
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
The [b]aim[/b] of this study involving 255 elements is to map the value attitudes of young people selecting paramedic careers from an emotional aspect – by applying the [b]method[/b] of Osgood’s semantic differential scale. By using connotations related to the four value concepts and themselves (ego, helpfulness, creativity, freedom, cooperation), a multidimensional value assessment was performed on two samples (2003 and 2007). As a [b]result[/b], students in both target groups considered helpfulness to be the most valuable ability, and this resonates with the societal expectations for those wishing to make commitments to the helping professions. The most important [b]conclusion[/b] is that the 18-26-year-old students polled consider themselves to be the least valuable, and this surprising result has definitely an indicative value and represents important feedback on the self-evaluation of young people entering higher education.
