Summary/Abstract: In this study, we have presented various theoretical approaches to parental values orientation, as well as the results of the empirical researches. The aim of this study referred to the parental values orientation toward adolescents, with respect to autonomous-conformist dyad, and to the notions of the adolescents toward the values of their parents. The results obtained in this study indicate that the maternal values orientation enclose autonomous parental values orientation, while they show tenden- cies to conformist parental values orientation, whereas the paternal values orientation distinctively show autonomous parental values orientation. This disparity can be in- terpreted by the more favourable educational structure of fathers. With respect to the correlations between the parental values orientation and the notions of the adolescents toward the values of their fathers, the existence of positive correlations was deter- mined, which are statistically significant at the levels of 0,01 and 0,05. We have con- cluded, unfortunately, that the adolescents are more aware of what their parents find less important, than they understand what those values that their parents find most important are. The results obtained point toward the necessity of parental education, regarding the values and values orientation. We believe that it is very important to help parents realize the aims of education, acquire clear ideas regarding the values they want for their children as well as in what way they can be accomplished.
