This work aimed to know the effect of psychological needs in human values, and the relationship pattern between the two variables. Specifically, they are conducted three studies. Study 1 aims to know the convergence between the needs proposed by Deci and Ryan (1985) and Maslow (1954). For the purpose, it udes 200 participants with an average age of 23.8 years (SD = 6.89) and 56.5% female. Initially gathered evidence of validity and reliability of the Basic Needs Satisfaction Inventory (BNSI) and the Basic Psychological Needs Scale (BPNS). At first, it was confirmed a factor penta structure as theorized. Together, the factors explain 52.54% of shared variance, Cronbach's alpha reliability indexes ranging from 0.86 (self-realization) to 0.67 (security). For the second instrument, admits to three-factor structure, as estimated, Autonomy (α = 0.71), Relationship (α = 0.71) and Competence (α = 0.68). Together, these factors explain 31.17% shared variance. The results of the convergent validity, corroborate the five research hypotheses. Study 2 had the goal of assessing the models of correlations between the values and needs and test the best confirmatory model. Is conjectured twenty-three hypotheses tested with 190 participants, the average age is 25.4 years (SD = 7.57) and 77.4% female. Bivariate Pearson correlations were performed. The results indicate that central and social values are more associated with the satisfaction of needs, compared with personal values. As for the models, based on Maslow's typology seems to be more adjusted (e.g. CFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.06). Study 3 aims to know the needs of frustration effect on the amounts, by experimental investigation. For the realization prepared to twenty-six assumptions and participated 93 individuals divided into three groups: 21 in autonomy average age 20.1 years (SD = 2.2) and 66.7% women; 19 in relationship with an average age of 19.58 years (SD = 2.1), and 68.4% were female; 17 of competence, with na average age of 20.65 years (SD = 2.68), 70.6% of them are female. Another two control groups: with a result, 19 people with an average age of 21.7 years (SD = 3.6) and predominantly women (57.9%); without result, 17 subjects with an average age of 20.8 years and 76.5% were female. The results expose d experimental treatment effect of low or moderate Cohen, the implicit and explicit level. In this sense it is believed that the proposed objective is accomplished and that the results provide advancement for the study of human values.
