Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between happiness with content and structure of basic human values among students. Using correlational design, 204 university students including 98 females and 106 males were selected from Technical-Engineering, Humanities, Art, and Science schools of Tehran and Beheshti Universities. They completed the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) and Schwartz Value Survey (SVS). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of regression. The results showed that Stimulation seeking, and Conformity values, also Conservation, and Openness to Change value types significantly predicted students' happiness. In general, results showed: 1) Pursuing Stimulation and Conformity values increases happiness. 2) Pursuing Conservation and Openness to Change value types increases happiness.
