This study employed the Professional Opinion Scale (POS) to analyze the values of a sample of 128 social workers representing more than 25 countries. Value scores indicate that social workers across cultures share a respect for basic rights and support self-determination. In addition to identifying data collection strategies for international samples, the findings should be useful as the social work profession becomes more global in its orientation to practice.
