Study Notes

Values and Their Reflection

Values reflect an individual's or group's beliefs about what is important, desirable, and worth striving for in life.

Types of Values

Ethic value refers to an object's moral or aesthetic significance, and such an object is termed a "value object".
There are two types of values that tend to influence attitudes and behavior:
- Terminal values, which are ultimate goals and desired outcomes, and
- Instrumental values, which are the means or methods used to achieve those goals.

Prescriptive Beliefs

Values that are prospective and prescriptive beliefs are termed "propositional values".

Debate about Values

Values like altruism (selflessness) and acquisitiveness (self-interest) are debated because they often seem to be in conflict, and different cultures and societies may prioritize one over the other.
