This study aims to test the applicability of the Functional Theory of Life Values and scores differences among a group of students from the Middle East and another from Europe. Participants include 565 college students, 278 Lebanese and 287 Portuguese. A demographic questionnaire and an adapted version of the Basic Values Survey were completed. Confirmatory/multi-group factor analysis, a generalized Procrustes, and a t-test were used. Results indicate that content and structure hypotheses were equivalent among the two groups. There were significant differences between the Lebanese and Portuguese students, in normative and promotion values, in favor of the first group, and in interactive, supra personal and excitement values, in favor of the second. This study has implications for institutional academic and social practices with international college students
