Several studies have measured basic human values across countries using the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-21 and PVQ-40). However, there are few current validations that use Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a magnifying glass strategy, and almost none in the Latin American context. The objective of this study is to validate both PVQ versions by assessing the configurational verification (MDS) and the confirmatory structure of higher values of Schwartz´s model (CFA). The validation análisis of PVQ-40 and PVQ-21 confirm the circular motivational continuum structure of values with some diferences. However PVQ-21 shows better feet indexes in ítem of MDS and CFA análisis than PVQ-40. The changes in the motivational continuum circle are explained from the perspective of cultural patterns and historical events in the Argentinean context.
