Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this research is a diagnosis of attitudes towards economic system and social issues, and a diagnosis of systems of values. The sample consists of 368 students. It has been assumed that attitudes depend on acceptance of the ‘achievement’ value. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of Schwartz and his Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-R3) has been used. Attitudes are diagnosed on the basis of the set of views, reflecting liberal or nonliberal notion (Reykowski, Morawski). The obtained results give grounds to confirm the hypothesis. Acceptance of liberal solutions in the economy is linked with stronger preferences for the achievement value. The differences in acceptance of this value is statistically significant in six out of seven analysed attitudes.
