| Summary: | Values are the elements of life prevailing in a society. They
provide motivation and ground for choice. They shape and determine
individual's and group's decision to like or dislike, favour or
disfavour,change or not to change. Thus, knowing people's value
orientation will guide planners, policy-makers, and change agents
in the planning and implementation of responsive development
programmes capable of evoking maximum affirmative public response.
Conducted to 143 randomly sampled household heads from two
barangays in North Cotabato, Philippines, using interview schedule,
group discussions, informal interview and participant observation,
the study aimed primarily at determining barangay people's value
orientation towards rural living and its implications to rural
development. Specifically, it investigated the association between
the following sets of variables: value orientation and age, sex cosmopoliteness, mass media exposure, and group membership; value
orientation and responsiveness to rural development programmes; and
two different groups' rank-ordering according to importance of Rokeach's
Terminal and Instrumental values. |
