What are values? How are they different from attitudes, traits, and
specific goals? How do our values influence our behavior, and vice
versa? How does our culture and environment impact the relationship
between values and behavior? These questions and more are
rigorously examined by prominent and emerging scholars in this
significant volume Values and Behavior: Taking A Cross Cultural
Perspective. Personal values are cognitive representations of
abstract, desirable motivational goals that guide the way
individuals select actions, evaluate people and events, and explain
their actions and evaluations. The unique features of values have
implications for their impact on behavior. People are highly
satisfied with their values and perceive them as close to their
ideal selves. At the same time, however, daily interpersonal
interaction reveals that individuals hold different, sometimes
opposing, value profiles. These individual differences are even
more apparent when individuals from different cultures interact.
The collected chapters address the links between values and
behavior from a cultural perspective. They review studies conducted
in various cultures and discuss culture as a moderator of the
relationships between values and behavior. Structurally, part I of
the volume discusses what values are and how they should be
measure; part II then examines the contents of the relationships
between values and behavior in different life-domains, including
prosocial behavior, aggression, behavior in organizations and
relationships formation. Part III explores some of the moderating
mechanisms that relate values to behavior. Taken together, these
chapters review and synthesize over twenty years of research on
values and behavior, and propose new insights that have important
implications for both research and for practice.
