Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to investigate whether or not there is similarity of values between American and Japanese college students. The following research hypothesis was established:

To test the above research hypothesis, the following three null hypotheses were tested in the present research:
- There is no similarity between the value system of the Japanese male college students and that of American male college students whose ages are between 18 and 22.
- There is no similarity between the value system of the Japanese female college students and that of American female college students whose ages are between 18 and 22.
- There is no similarity between the value system of the Japanese college students and that of the American college students whose ages are between 18 and 22.
