Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of the survey of influence of family and residence hall environment in secular and faith schools on students’ values, value orientations and behaviour. The survey was conducted on a random sample of 867 secondary school students in BiH cities. A transverse empirical research was conducted with the main objective to determine the students’ value hierarchy and the distribution of value orientations depending on the type of school (secular and faith schools) and the type of residence hall environment (faith school dormitories and other student residence halls), relations between students’ value orientations and family sociodemographic factors, religious family and personal self-identification, and relations between value orientations and examined student behaviours and styles of spending free time. We found a significant difference in students’ value orientations depending on the type of school, family factors and religious self-identification of the family. Value orientations are a predictor of behaviour and styles of spending free time. The direction and strength of the predictive relationship between a specific value orientation and individual behaviours and styles of spending free time vary.
