Study Notes
Value Development in Humans
- Human behavior can fluctuate significantly, with actions influenced by needs or values.
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs categorizes motivation from basic physiological needs to higher-level psychological needs.
- Needs satisfaction leads individuals to move from one level of needs to the next, influencing actions predictively.
- Individuals may shift from needs-based motivations to a more complex values-oriented perspective when faced with dilemmas.
Hume's Law
- Hume's Law highlights the distinction between facts (what is) and values (what ought to be), suggesting values guide behavior.
- Contextual example: An athletic individual’s reaction to paralysis varies based on personal values regarding independence and self-determination.
Decision-Shaping Values
- Common values influencing decision-making include:
- Independence: Freedom from constraints
- Autonomy: Capacity for self-determination
- Privacy: Fear of invasion of personal space
- Self-esteem: Need to value oneself
- Well-being: Desire for freedom from pain and suffering
- Security: Control over fear and anxiety
- Belonging: Sense of group identification
- Support: Sexual and spiritual fulfillment
- Capability: Freedom from disability
- Accomplishment: Personal fulfillment
Value Development Model
- Humans possess undifferentiated potentials at birth, but ethical and value systems develop through cultural influences.
- The capacity for ethical beliefs and cooperative principles appears universal across human history.
