Abstract

As regards the axiological hierarchy, the love-as-a-gift is particularly important in interpersonal relations. It means the value of a person–as-a-gift to another person. The complete experience of love between a man and a woman demands its ethical dimension. Its natural fulfilment is marriage as self-giving. Studies conducted among high school youth with the use of Milton Rokeach’s RVS Scale, confirm that the value of mature love in the group of terminal values, and the value of loving in the group of instrumental values are highly cherished. The leading (central) position of the analysed values indicates their impact upon young people’s behaviour.

Keywords:
