ENUnder the conditions of rapid and total change in the social, political, economic and legal environment in Lithuania, as well as in the rest of Eastern Europe, a transformation process is going on in all groups of society. As a result, the system of universal values is being reconstructed. To examine the details of construction of the newly evolving values a survey of 1218 university students and staff was accomplished. The research is based on the theory of Inglehart and methodology of Schwartz and Bilsky. Division by gender has revealed that individual type of values is given the similar value by both males and females. But females regardless of professional orientation put a greater emphasis on collective type of values. This might mean that females as well as males are eager to adapt to new changes, but females are not so quick to give up the traditions. On the contrary they arc concerned how to preserve them. Thus we might conclude that the traditional values are deeply rooted among elderly people, women and humanists. Young people and especially those orientated towards business administration are more open to change and ready to adapt to new values. In the future, the combination of the change of values and the process of inter-generational replacement allows us to predict a shift of values towards individualism, or at least its transformation into something radically different from what it is today.
