Sport spectators and their behaviors were traditionally examined as a social phenomenon which is connected to important societal and psychological issues such as spectator violence, as well as collective and deviant behaviors. For identifying value dimensions in sports spectators the field researchers used the PVQ 21 - Portrait Value Questionnaire (Schwartz, 1994). This questionnaire is based on the presentation of 21 value profiles covering the original 57 values. In each value profile the respondent assigns a value on a 6 point Lickert scale ranging between „very much like myself“ and „not at all like myself“. The questionnaire measures 4 basic value dimensions: self-enhancement, self-transcendence, openness to change and conservatism. The research sample had 5.504 spectators (73% male, 27% female; age: 15 years minimum) of football soccer, ice-hockey, team handball, volleyball and basketball matches, the sports that have the largest spectator base and traditionally enjoy the greatest popularity in the Czech Republic. Research revealed that there are no significant differences in the value dimensions among the monitored sports audience, consequently it may be concluded that the value orientation is mainly a result of spectator’s ontogenetic development in the given social environment and it is not influenced by the type of sport observed. Potential differences in value dimensions among spectators emerge when variables such as age or aggressive behavior are considered. It appears that age variable (young age group) is somehow connected to increased level of aggression. Key words: sport spectators, value types, value dimensions.
