Understanding Values and Attitudes

Values are qualities or ideas that people feel strongly about that affect their decisions and behavior. Values define what is worthwhile and guide judgments, attitudes, and actions. A value system is a hierarchy of values for an individual based on their intensity towards those values. Understanding values provides insight into individuals' and cultures' attitudes, motivations, and behaviors, as values influence perception and represent interpretations of right and wrong, implying some behaviors are preferred over others. Values give consistency and direction to behavior, help prioritize time and effort, and establish a person's relationship with the world by setting a direction for their life.
