I spent some time in the library before started my research paper just so I could get a few more ideas. Here are some of the things I came across that will hopefully help me out!
-Individuals use their values as standards of evaluation in determining what is good or bad, true or false, right or wrong, desirable or undesirable, important or unimportant
-Individuals do not always behave in ways that are consistent with their stated beliefs and values
-The values of college students are influenced by family, friends, religion, personal experiences, and societal factors. Their perceptions, motives, goals, interests, and decision making processes are closely related to the systems of values they hold
-Conformity - is adjusting one's behavior or thinking to coincide with a group standard. Conformity is often the result of group or peer pressure. Usually, the person adopts the new behavior or attitude as his or her own.
**Note-Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find as much information as I had hoped. If anyone has an any ideas or references that they think would help, let me know!
