The article investigates an idea of spiritual and moral values in men and women, different age groups, levels of education and types of subject regulation. The relevance of these studies is associated primarily with the fact that one of the main challenges facing modern Russian society is the task of improving the spiritual and moral level of its citizens. The present study is exploratory in nature, and its results are, for the most part, for the development of new techniques and planning further research in this direction. The research results obtained by the author of attitudes questionnaire containing 18 indicators that describe the spiritual, social and personal values that have been selected as a result of preliminary field studies. Examination of a large enough sample of individuals showed that, regardless of group affiliation, in all subjects spiritual values occupy a higher rank in comparison with the social and personal values. It has also been shown that a person of autonomous type well differentiated values of all three types, but a person of dependent type cannot distinguish spirit and social values. It was found that the submission of the spiritual and moral values depend not so much on their own individual factors (gender, age, education, type of regulation) as their combinations.
