Basic human values are an important factor in understanding youth attitudes and behaviors. According to Schwartz's theory of values and value systems, there are ten basic human values, which are classified into higher levels of value. Values direct behavior to achieve specific value goals, and sometimes it leads to behavioral problems. The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between certain levels of values possessed by students at the University of Zagreb and behavioral problems (externalized and internalized) and to gain insight into the representation of certain values and behavioral problems in students. The research was conducted by the non-probabilistic sampling method, ie the method of intentional sampling on 170 subjects. The target population is students of the University of Zagreb enrolled in the academic year 2020/2021. The results showed that the most accessible values of students are: benevolence, universalism and independence. The most common internalized problem behavior among students is stress, and the most common externalized problems are: the use or abuse of psychoactive substances and gambling. The results of this study showed that there is no significant association between certain levels of values and internalized behavioral (depression, stress, and anxiety) problems. On the other hand, it was shown that there is a significant correlation between the value of self-enhancement and the examined externalized behavioral problems. Furthermore, the negative correlation is between the value of self-transcendence and externalized behavioral problems.
