This chapter examines the methodological issues associated with the measurement of values and role salience and reviews representative measures that have been used in their assessment. The authors begin by explaining the concepts of roles and role salience and the constructs of life values and work roles, and reviewing taxonomies of values. Assessment approaches, measurement techniques and related methodological problems are then considered. Existing inventories for assessment of values and role salience are briefly described. The conclusion discusses the use of values and role salience assessment in career guidance.
