It is widely recognized that a person's values will profoundly
affect what that person attends to, thinks about, and remembers.
Yet, despite this, psychologists have only begun to study and think
about the deep connections between values and knowledge. This
volume explores this important area in psychology by offering an
overview of what is known about the developmental role of valuation
in the acquisition of knowledge, and also by examining a range of
new ideas for understanding the intricate connection between
evaluation and thinking. More specifically, the text: provides a
historical overview of philosophical and psychological theories
relating the values and knowledge; reviews the importance of values
for infants and their caretakers in the origins of both cognition
and social relations; offers a provocative view of how the
differences among families in their values may have profound
affects on psychological development; explicates the development of
a personal sphere within which one strives to shape one's own
values; emphasizes the heterogeneity of valuation inherent in every
culture and how conflicts of values are likely to be common and
important to human development; presents eye-opening research on
social-cognitive limitations of average people in respecting the
points of view of others; and summarizes and critiques Piaget's
theory of the role of values in development. For practitioners in
the fields of developmental and social psychology, and education,
this volume will introduce a number of important and current
issues, from multiculturality and gender to the differential roles
of temperament and upbringing in development. The emphasis is
placed squarely on developing individuals and how they shape
themselves in a world that is structured by values as well as by
facts.
