This study compared the rank-order and paired-comparison methods of measuring terminal and instrumental values. It was hypothesized that the paired-comparison method would yield higher test-retest reliabilities than the rank-order method. 30 undergraduates were given a paired-comparison scale for 18 terminal and 18 instrumental values, and retested 5 wk. later. The results showed that the paired-comparison method yielded a higher reliability only for the terminal values.

As regards the axiological hierarchy, the love-as-a-gift is particularly important in interperso- nal relations. It means the value of a person-as-a-gift to another person. The complete experience of love between a man and a woman demands its ethical dimension. Its natural fulfilment is marriage as self-giving. Studies conducted among high school youth with the use of Milton Rokeach's RVS Scale, confirm that the value of mature love in the group of terminal values, and the value of loving in the group of instrumental values are highly cherished. The leading (central) position of the analysed values indicates their impact upon young people's behaviour.

Evaluation Mechanism

The sorting mechanism underlying the traditional evaluation grid method with attractive factors mainly represents the time or the paired comparison method. However, the current approach employed to identify abstract factors of attractiveness may not be comprehensive. The objective of this article is to propose a hybrid method with an integrated fuzzy Kano model and fuzzy importance–performance analysis to evaluate attractive factors. Fuzzy importance–performance analysis is a more accurate quantitative–qualitative method for two-dimensional analysis, and integrated fuzzy Kano model compensates for the low-resolution problem of the traditional Kano model. A combination of both models arrives at a more comprehensive and reliable evaluation grid method evaluation mechanism. The results indicate that the attractive factors sorted through integrated fuzzy Kano model–fuzzy importance–performance analysis have deconstructed abstract factors and feature factors of the customer service robot. Moreover, the key factors of the products sorted by through integrated fuzzy Kano model–fuzzy importance–performance analysis provide a better understanding of customer expectations associated with the products, which consequently enables developers and designers to accurately understand the design style and conceive new ideas.

The idea of the study is that the value potential of the subject is a fundamental element of the knowledge system as part of the realization of the idea of sustainable development in education. The basis of the study used the classification of value categories proposed by Milton Rokeach in 1979. We found that in the main school, the content of the subject “Biology” is primarily aimed at forming ideas about terminal values – “life”, “health”, “nature”; in high school – about terminal values “life”, “health”, as well as instrumental values – “perseverance”. The value ideas of a biology teacher are one of the key factors in the formation of students’ value ideas. In the structure of value representations of biology teachers, the three leaders are orientations towards terminal values. We have put forward the assumption that there is a dissonance between the value ideas of respondents and the values that the school biology course is aimed at forming an idea about.

This experiment collected sound signals of four different cars driving at different speeds on highway and replayed the noise samples with playback software HEAD Audio Recorder. The subjective evaluation tests were carried out with paired comparison method. Evaluating models between subjective evaluation and objective psychoacoustic parameters were established with SPSS analysis software.
