This study was designed to investigate to association between motivational action conflict frequency
and value orientation as well as sociodemographic correlates of value orientation among Turkish
high school students. Participants consisted of 846 students in different high schools from Marmara
Region of Turkey and completed Motivational Action Conflict Frequency Survey and Value
Orientation Scale. Results of this study suggested that students have average well-being value
orientation and low achievement value orientation. There was no significant association between
achievement and well-being value orientation and school-leisure time conflict; however, a weak and
positive significant relationship exist between achievement value orientation and school time-school
time conflict and leisure time-leisure time conflict, and there was a negative low-level significant
relationship between well-being value orientation and school time-school time conflict and leisure
time-leisure time conflict. The students’ achievement and well-being value orientation were
significantly different based on gender and daily studying times. Well-being value orientation
associated with high school type, but no significant difference found in achievement value
orientation. Lastly, there was no significant difference in value orientation in terms of grade level.
The results of this study may also help to understand the correlates of value orientation and
motivational conflict frequency in Turkish literature where a very limited number of studies have
been conducted.
