Abstract
This article examines the concepts of values and life roles in the context of career development. First, the concepts of values and life roles are explained. The methodological issues of their measurement are discussed next, followed by an overview of the main instruments used in their assessment. Finally, the approaches and trends of the usage of values and roles in career guidance are discussed. It is noted that, the traditional focus on values as a person variable, has been recently shifted to assessment of “cultural” values, which are typical of certain groups of vocational-guidance users.
