In the context of Schwartz's values theory, how would one reconcile the apparent contradiction between simultaneously pursuing 'stimulation' (a facet of openness to change) and 'security' (a facet of conservation)?
- By compartmentalizing these values, applying 'stimulation' in professional settings and 'security' in personal settings, thereby minimizing cognitive dissonance.
- By engaging in 'integrative complexity', wherein one acknowledges the inherent tension and seeks actions that moderately satisfy both values without fully optimizing either. (correct)
- By prioritizing 'stimulation' during youth and transitioning to 'security' in later life stages, adhering to a developmental trajectory of value preferences.
- By recognizing that 'hedonism' bridges both dimensions, satisfying the need for excitement in a manner that doesn't fundamentally challenge stability.

Study Notes
- A theory is a system of ideas used to explain something, based on general principles
- Values are important for addressing societal and environmental problems and resolving value conflicts across cultures
Six Main Features of Values:
- Intricately linked to affect, becoming infused with feeling when activated
- Refer to desirable goals that motivate action
- Transcend specific actions and situations, unlike norms and attitudes
- Serve as standards or criteria guiding choices and evaluations
- Ordered by importance, forming a personal system of priorities
- Multiple values guide action, balancing competing values relevant to the context
Ten Basic Personal Values:
- The Schwartz theory identifies ten broad, differentiated personal values based on underlying goals
- These values are likely universal due to their role in helping humans cope with existence
Value | Defining Goal
- Self-Direction | Independent thought and action in choosing, creating, and exploring
- Stimulation | Excitement, novelty, and challenge in life
- Hedonism | Pleasure or sensuous gratification for oneself
- Achievement | Personal success through demonstrating competence
- Power | Control/dominance over people and resources
- Security | Safety, harmony, and stability
- Conformity | Restraint from actions that could upset or violate social norms
- Tradition | Respect, commitment, and acceptance of cultural or religious customs
- Benevolence | Preserving/enhancing the welfare of those close to oneself
- Universalism | Understanding, appreciation, tolerance, and protection for all
Dynamic Relations and Value Conflict:
- Actions driven by one value can conflict or align with others, impacting psychology and society
- People pursue competing values at different times in different contexts
- There are two bipolar dimensions of conflict and congruity
Openness to Change vs. Conservation:
- Openness to change emphasizes independence, action, feelings, and readiness for change via self-direction, stimulation, and hedonism
- Conservation emphasizes order, self-restriction, and resistance to change via security, conformity, and tradition
Self-Enhancement vs. Self-Transcendence
- Self-enhancement emphasizes pursuing one's interests and success via power, achievement, and hedonism
- Self-transcendence emphasizes concern for the welfare of others via universalism and benevolence
- Hedonism bridges openness to change and self-enhancement
Conclusion
- People experience conflict between openness to change and conservation, also between self-transcendence and self-enhancement
- Conflicts between specific values are near-universal
- To live out you values define your personal values, identify when you were happiest, identify when you were most proud, identify when you were most fulfilled and satisfied, determine your top values (based on experiences), and prioritize your top values
