Purposes of this study were to compare results from a new improved "Ways to Live" questionnaire with results from previous ones, to inquire into the relation of personally experienced values to values which are implicit in the culture generally, to learn where members of the three societies stand on a number of value propositions, including casting some light on the values of today's college student, and to reveal similarities in values across cultures and examine their implications for self-understanding and for a theory of value universals. Reactions of Indian, American, and Japanese university students were elicited to a set of 32 value statements, entitled "Ways to Live III". Tests for retest and sampling reliability showed high consistency on both. Results are analyzed relative to the above purposes. In addition, suggestions are offered for future research in human values.
