In the current research the relation between religious commitment and human values was analyzed. Two studies were conducted. In Study 1, 535 school and university students took part, with a mean age of 15.5 years (SD = 3.24), mostly women (63.1%). In Study 2, participants were 431 school and university students, with a mean age of 15.4 years (SD = 3.29), mostly women (59%). Proposed hypotheses were corroborated, indicating a direct relation between religious commitment and social values, as well as an opposite relation established with experimentation values. A suppression effect was observed from normative values on existence values, suggesting a higher complexity in the relation established among values as predictors of religious commitment.
