This study examines the relationships between human values and patient non‐adherence. Two types of non‐adherence are studied: non‐adherent views and non‐adherent behavior in response to doctor's instructions. The study uses data from the E uropean S ocial S urvey R ound 2 from 14 countries: A ustria, B elgium, D enmark, E stonia, F inland, F rance, G ermany, I celand, L uxembourg, N etherlands, N orway, P oland, S weden, and S witzerland. Correlation analyses and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted both using the pooled data from these 14 countries and within countries. The sample size ranged from n = 20,012 to n = 21,600 in the analyses of pooled data. Human values were found to be associated with non‐adherence. As hypothesized, endorsing openness‐to‐change values (vs. conservation values) was positively related to non‐adherent views and behavior.
