The aim of this research is to find out is there any difference in the hierarchy values and the values system between the high school students from Zagreb and Skopje. The presumption was that there is no going to be difference in the structure values systems and that there is going to be difference in the hierarchy values between the high school students from Zagreb and Skopje, taking into consideration the previous researches which showed partial differences between them. In the research has participated 318 students from the fourth class general high schools in Zagreb and Skopje. The general high schools in Zagreb and Skopje are equal in many things. Schwartz Value Survey was applied in group. The task of the participants was to evaluate how important are all of the given values "as a guiding principles in their lifes-. The obtained results of the research have shown that the high school students from Zagreb and Skopje are not different in the structure and hierarchy of the values system, but just in the style of responding. The high school students from Skopje gave consistently more numerical evaluations of the values of the motivation types and with that, socially desired responses, which differs from the Zagreb high school students. This research has shown that the responding style of the participants can be a problem in cross-cultural comparison of values.
