Book excerpt: This book focuses on the measurement of three values that scholars consider critical values in American political culture. My research employed in-depth interviews to explore how individuals think about the values of limited government, moral traditionalism and equality. The research used the values battery of questions in the National Election Studies (NES) as a starting point. The NES survey, funded by the National Science Foundation, has asked a battery of questions related to values for decades, providing a comprehensive time series measurement of the values of the public in the United States. The research described in this book advances the study of public opinion by systematically evaluating the sources of instability in the measurement of values. Chapter 1 reviews research on how values and ideology structure public opinion. What are the most important values for understanding public opinion? Do core values serve as an anchor for many specific attitudes? The next three chapters explore how individuals think about each value. Chapter 2 explores the value of limited government through in-depth interviews. What is limited government? Should the scale of government be expanded to address social problems or guarantee jobs? What does the public believe about why and how government power should be limited? Whether a respondent used an individual or a social frame of reference to think about limited government often affected how they answered this question. Consideration of different types of government programs or parts of the government also could affect how individuals answered. Chapter 3 discusses moral traditionalism. A number of questions are addressed, including the following: Are moral beliefs absolute? Should different moral systems be tolerated? What is tolerance? Should morality change with the times? How important are traditional family ties? Are new lifestyles leading to the breakdown of society? Individuals were conflicted when they considered different meanings of what tolerance was and who it should be applied to. Chapter 4 explores the value of equality through discussions of many specific questions, including: What is equality? Would society be better off with more equality? Can equal rights be pushed too far? For equality, individuals were often conflicted between different dimensions of equality, including equality before the law, equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. Chapter 5 provides conclusions on why the public is so conflicted about their own core values. How do people think about and define values as they answer survey questions? What are the sources of instability in the values expressed by the public and what are the implications for American politics and public policy? About the Author Laurence O'Rourke is a public policy consultant at ICF, where he engages in multidisciplinary research on transportation, energy and environmental policy issues. He writes about a range of issues associated with public policy and governance. He is also the author of the book "Great Debates in American Political Science" as well as numerous journal articles, conference papers and reports on a range of public policy issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the complex problem of how to measure the ‘success’ of social organisations, projects and activities. Whether improving a local situation, organizing a campaign around sustainability, or assessing the intangible effects of perceived social benefits, currently we have only have a very limited range of mechanisms for judging effectiveness. On the one hand, a market-driven logic demands that qualitative perceptions and experiences are quantified into simplified and numerically defined variables. On the other, community projects are left un-assessed, as one-off outcomes of local and situated processes that must somehow automatically ‘make things better’. For academics, researchers and other professionals working in this field this has resulted in the deep frustration of not being able to assess the things that are most centrally important: higher human values such as integrity, trust, respect, equality and social justice. Measuring Intangible Values argues that we can make shared social values – and their measurement - central to decisions about improving civil society. But because these social values are intangible, we need to develop ways of eliciting and validating them at the local level that can capture people’s shared meanings across multiple goals and perspectives. We need to develop mechanisms for evaluating whether these values are met that use rigorous but also relevant measures. And we need to develop ways of doing this that are scalable, transferable and comparable across different kinds of organisations and fields of activity. This book will be valuable for researchers in all social science disciplines which touch on human values, such as sociology, social psychology, human geography, social policy, architecture and planning, design and community studies.
Download or read book The Measurement of Environmental and Resource Values written by A. Myrick Freeman III and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this important work was the winner of the 2002 Publication of Enduring Quality award by the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. The continuing premise for the book is that estimates of the economic values of environmental and natural resource services are essential for effective policy-making. As previous editions, the third edition, which includes two additional co-authors, presents a comprehensive treatment of the theory and methods involved in estimating environmental benefits. Researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners will welcome the work as an up-to-date reference on recent developments. Students will gain a better understanding of the contribution that economics as a discipline can make to decisions concerning pollution control and human health, recreation, environmental amenities, and other critical issues concerning the way we use and interact with environmental and natural resource systems. To reflect recent progress in both the theory and practice of non-market valuation, the third edition includes more details on empirical approaches to measurement, expanded discussion of the reasons for divergence between "willingness to pay" and "willingness to accept compensation," and increased coverage of econometric issues encountered in estimation. In keeping with its cutting edge orientation, it also includes more discussion of survey design, equilibrium sorting models, and the implications of behavioral economics for welfare measurements and benefit cost analysis.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of the studies described in this article is to examine the relationship between a) the extent of the differences of the value hierarchy for adolescents revealed by different methods and b) the risk factors for problem behavior. The first study is tests the hypothesis that larger differences correspond to greater conflicts in relationships between adolescents and their parents. The second study examines the relationship between a) the extent of the differences of the value hierarchy for adolescents revealed by different methods and b) various kinds of adolescent behavior assessed by teachers. The peculiarities of using the constant-sum scale and the discrepancy index between value hierarchies gained by using ratings and constant-sum scales are discussed.

Download or read book Values and Behavior written by Sonia Roccas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are values? How are they different from attitudes, traits, and specific goals? How do our values influence our behavior, and vice versa? How does our culture and environment impact the relationship between values and behavior? These questions and more are rigorously examined by prominent and emerging scholars in this significant volume Values and Behavior: Taking A Cross Cultural Perspective. Personal values are cognitive representations of abstract, desirable motivational goals that guide the way individuals select actions, evaluate people and events, and explain their actions and evaluations. The unique features of values have implications for their impact on behavior. People are highly satisfied with their values and perceive them as close to their ideal selves. At the same time, however, daily interpersonal interaction reveals that individuals hold different, sometimes opposing, value profiles. These individual differences are even more apparent when individuals from different cultures interact. The collected chapters address the links between values and behavior from a cultural perspective. They review studies conducted in various cultures and discuss culture as a moderator of the relationships between values and behavior. Structurally, part I of the volume discusses what values are and how they should be measure; part II then examines the contents of the relationships between values and behavior in different life-domains, including prosocial behavior, aggression, behavior in organizations and relationships formation. Part III explores some of the moderating mechanisms that relate values to behavior. Taken together, these chapters review and synthesize over twenty years of research on values and behavior, and propose new insights that have important implications for both research and for practice.
