A multilingual app for studying children’s developing values
Although over 250 million people speak Arabic as their first language, only a minuscule fraction of developmental science studies Arab children. As values are a core component of culture, understanding how values develop is key to understanding development across cultures. Little is known about young Arab children's values. We developed an Arabic version of the Picture-Based Value Survey for Children and implemented it in a multilingual applicati…
The role of personal values in opinion formation regarding a high-stakes continually evolving topic
How do people form opinions in high-stakes situations, prevalent in times of conflict and crisis? We propose that personal values play a crucial role in shaping opinions and provide empirical evidence and novel insights about the process involved. We expected values to predict opinions regarding negotiations with armed groups to free hostages. Five Israeli samples ( N = 7,248; four preregistered, one longitudinal) participated during the Hamas-Is…
Values and prosociality in middle childhood
This study examined the direction of relations between values and prosocial sharing during middle childhood. A total of 299 children participated (age at first time point in months: M first grade = 80.49, SD = 4.16; M second grade = 92.98, SD = 4.84; 53% female, 47% male) completed a values questionnaire and participated in a resource allocation task over four annual assessments. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model revealed stable associa…
Personal values and career‐related preferences among young adults
OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated personal values underlying career-related preferences among young adults deliberating on their career choice. As a fundamental component of one's identity, personal values can offer valuable insights into how individuals prioritize their career-related preferences. METHOD: = 21.9, SD = 2.12). RESULTS: Using a variable-centered approach, we identified 14 value-expressive career-related preferences, demonst…
The values of schools
School vision statements articulate an aspired future state for the school, highlighting its ideals, purpose, and unique aspects to direct behavior and promote motivation and commitment among stakeholders. This paper investigates vision statements of schools as artifacts expressing the values emphasized by schools, drawing on organizational literature that shows the role of central organizational artifacts in conveying the values important to the…
Middle childhood development in personal values
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate value change and stability longitudinally in middle childhood. BACKGROUND: Values are the aspect of personality defining one's aspirations. Research identifies meaningful values in middle childhood, yet we know little about the process of their development within individual. METHOD: = 7 years and 3 months, SD = 7.70 months, at the first time point) four times, annually. RESULTS: Rank-order stability increased wi…
Values and National Identification in Minority and Majority Youth
Collective identification is vital for adolescents, fostering well-being and connection, but scant attention has been given to drivers of national identification and their contextual variations in youth. To address this, two longitudinal studies examined how values, as guiding goals defining what individuals consider important in their lives, relate to the trajectory of national identification in majority and minority youth. Study 1 ( N = 568; M …
Development of intraindividual value structures in middle childhood
OBJECTIVE: We examined changes in value interrelations during middle childhood. In line with the Personal Values Theory, we expected a value system, with individuals similarly valuing related motivations, and setting priorities between conflicting motivations. We hypothesized this system to develop dynamically during middle childhood as children deepen their understanding of their own values. METHOD: Using unfolding analysis, we estimated intrain…
Personal values and sustained attention as predictors of children's helping behavior in middle childhood
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the effect of personal values (motivation) and sustained attention (cognitive ability) on children's helping behavior. METHOD: Children (N = 162, age range 8-9 years, mean = 8.81, SD = 0.43) completed value ranking and go/no-go tasks, and their helping behavior was examined. RESULTS: Children who valued self-transcendence over self-enhancement helped more than others. Surprisingly, children's lack of sustained attenti…
Children's understanding of values as mental concepts
We investigated the conceptualization of values as mental constructs at the beginning of middle childhood. Values describe aspirations guiding individuals in life. Although 6‐year‐olds report meaningful values, a past cross‐sectional study suggested they may conceptualize them in non‐mental terms. We interviewed children on their values at two time‐points ( N = 299, M age T1 = 7.25 years, M age T2 = 7.94 years). Mental value conceptualization inc…
Mapeamento de Processos Erosivos e Deposicionais Utilizando Modelagem Matemática
Os modelos matemáticos possuem potencial para estimar e constatar áreas suscetíveis a processos erosivos. O SIMWE (Simulated Water Erosion) considera as propriedades hidrológicas e do solo, simula a erosão, o transporte e a deposição pelo fluxo superficial. O objetivo principal deste artigo foi avaliar a dinâmica das taxas de erosão e deposição a partir da aplicação do modelo SIMWE na bacia do Alto Espraiado, São Pedro (SP), que apresenta express…
Changes in Personal Values in Pandemic Times
The COVID-19 pandemic has had immense impact on people’s lives, potentially leading individuals to reevaluate what they prioritize in life (i.e., their values). We report longitudinal data from Australians 3 years prior to the pandemic, at pandemic onset (April 2020, N = 2,321), and in November–December 2020 ( n = 1,442). While all higher order values were stable prior to the pandemic, conservation values, emphasizing order and stability, became …

Value Profiles During Middle Childhood
Little is known about how children's value priorities develop over time. This study identifies children's value priority profiles and follows their development during middle childhood. Australian children (N = 609; ages 5–12 at Time 1) reported their values over 2 years. Latent Transition Analysis indicated four profiles: Social-Focus, Self-Focus, Growth-Focus and Undifferentiated. Within person development was characterized by profile stability …
Values and adolescents' self‐esteem
The study examined the relations between adolescents’ self‐esteem and two aspects of values: content and congruence with classmates. Using a large sample of Israeli adolescents ( N = 1,683; M age = 14.36, SD = 2.24, range = 11–18, 54.31% females), we found that self‐esteem related negatively to self‐enhancement values and positively to conservation values using zero order correlations. Multilevel polynomial regressions, controlling for demographi…
Value development during adolescence
OBJECTIVE: Value change stability was examined in a longitudinal sample of Jewish and Arab Israeli adolescents. METHOD: = 13.76, SD = 0.52, at initial assessment) reported value importance at four annual evaluations. RESULTS: Adolescents increased in values' internal coherence and rank-order stability. Their value hierarchy was consistent and differentiated from the hierarchy of adults. Latent growth curve analyses indicated a similar pattern of …
Introduction to the Special Section Value Development from Middle Childhood to Early Adulthood—New Insights from Longitudinal and Genetically Informed Research
Research into values at an early age has only started recently, although it has expanded quickly and dynamically in the past years. The purpose of this article is twofold: First, it provides an introduction to a special section that aims to help fill the gap in value development research. The special section brings together four new longitudinal and genetically informed studies of value development from the beginning of middle childhood through e…
Developmental Trajectories of Social Justice Values in Adolescence
This study examined developmental trajectories of social justice values (SJV) in a representative sample of Swiss adolescents (N = 1258) at 15 (Time 1), 18 (Time 2), and 21 years of age (Time 3). SJV and friendship quality were measured via self‐reports. Sympathy was assessed via self‐ and mother‐reports. Latent class growth analysis revealed three developmental trajectories of SJV: high‐stable (80 percent), moderate‐decreasing (17 percent), and …
School Values Across Three Cultures
A new typology of school-level values is reported in three cultural contexts. School values were assessed by aggregating the scores of 862 students, (ages 15-19) in 32 Jewish and Arab Israeli schools (Study 1), and 1,541 students (ages 11-21) from 8 European schools and 163 teachers from 6 of these schools (Study 2), using Schwartz’s Portrait Values Questionnaire. Six school values emerged in both studies: achievement, autonomy, egalitarianism, h…
Cultural value fit of immigrant and minority adolescents
One and Not the Same
Values are trans-situational, but little is known about their differential consistency across situations. We studied the cross-context correlations of value importance in six adolescent groups across Israel (Jewish majority, former Soviet-Union [FSU] immigrants, and Arab minority) and Germany (majority, FSU, and Turkish immigrants).Values were elicited for several contexts: family, school, and country of residence. Self-direction, achievement, co…
Cultural values and outgroup negativity
Based on Schwartz' theory of cultural values, the present research tested whether the level of outgroup negativity among adolescents is influenced by the preferred values shared by the individual's cultural group. Furthermore, it was expected that this correspondence increases during adolescence, due to (individual and social) identity development in that age period. Measures of cultural values as well as derogatory attitudes towards outgroups we…
