With 98 undergraduate students the effects of four factors on orientation toward freedom and solidarity were examined. The four factors were self-esteem, source of influence, age, and social desirability. An analysis of covariance controlling for the effects of social desirability and age yielded a significant main effect only for the self-esteem factor. Subjects with high self-esteem scores rated freedom and solidarity higher than did those with lower self-esteem scores. The other factor contributed to a significant interaction. The difference due to self-esteem was salient among people who attributed their values to parental rather than peer influence
