Theories about social cognition and theories about the dynamics of action clearly need to make contact with one another. To what extent will knowledge of a person’s value priorities enable us to understand that person’s actions within defined situations, and what other variables may have to be taken into account in making that prediction. The ultimate function of human values is to provide us with a set of standards to guide us in all our efforts to satisfy our needs and at the same time maintain and, insofar as possible, enhance self-esteem, that is, to make it possible to regard ourselves and to be regarded by others as having satisfied socially and institutionally originating definitions of morality and competence. This chapter describes two studies concerned with the relationship between values and action, the first involving the principle of person-environment fit and the second developed in terms of an expectancy-value or, more accurately, an expectancy-valence framework
