Özet

Values refer to one's ideals and ultimate standards that are considered important in life. These are the principles for action encompassing abstract goals. This article evaluates the core life values of Turkish women. The results show that women give more importance to life values such as health, happiness and love. On the other hand, the life values of wealth and richness and a comfortable house are not considered important by women.
