Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Cultural Psychology
  • Value Theory

Background:

  • Individual value priorities are fundamental to understanding human motivation and behavior.
  • Worries, encompassing personal (micro) and societal (macro) concerns, significantly impact well-being.
  • A social-cognitive perspective suggests values influence threat perception, thereby shaping worry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between individuals' value priorities and their levels of micro and macro worries.
  • To examine these relationships across diverse cultural groups.
  • To test social-cognitive hypotheses linking value priorities to threat perception and worry.

Main Methods:

  • Survey research conducted across seven samples from four distinct cultural groups.

  • Quantitative analysis of responses from 1,441 participants.
  • Statistical modeling to assess the predictive power of 10 value types on micro and macro worries.

    • Main Results:

    • Self-transcendence values (universalism, benevolence) correlated with lower micro worries and higher macro worries.
    • Self-enhancement values (power, hedonism, achievement) correlated with higher micro worries and lower macro worries.
    • Values explained significantly more variance in macro worries than in micro worries.

    Conclusions:

    • Value priorities act as a significant determinant of worry content and focus.
    • The findings support the social-cognitive model of value-based threat perception.
    • Cultural variations in value-worry associations warrant further investigation.
