There is a correlation between the level of total value orientation of the respondents and each of the following variables, family size, and the degree of family cohesion.
The existence of a significant correlation between the level of total value orientation with regard to variables, marital status, the degree of family cohesion, and the degree of exposure to social media, at the probability level 0.05.
