Abstract

This is a quantitative research that aims to analyze the family values of Portuguese and Brazilian university students. It surveyed 605 university students, 225 being from the University of Madeira (Portugal) and 380 from the Universidade de Fortaleza (Brazil). The family dimension of the questionnaire adapted from the European Values Survey was used, encompassing questions about attitudes of parents, number of children and qualities to be taught to children/youth. Most participants were women and not married, with Brazilian students having the highest scores in relation to the outdated attitudes of parents about moral principles and the number of children, attaching importance to courage, responsibility, respect, perseverance, faith, generosity qualities, while the Portuguese grant greater importance to the economy. Results show that the beliefs, values and qualities of young people reflect the family, the surrounding society and the globalized world.
