Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development

Kohlberg's theory of moral development uses the Heinz dilemma — a thought experiment in which a man, Heinz, must decide whether to steal an unaffordable drug to save his dying wife — to illustrate the evolution of moral reasoning. This framework, divided into three levels with two stages, highlights how individuals' understanding of right and wrong becomes increasingly complex.
Pre-Conventional Level
At the pre-conventional level, morality is primarily driven by personal...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

3
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Political Psychology
  • Ideological Studies

Background:

  • Progressivism is emerging as a distinct force within left-wing political thought, challenging traditional liberalism.
  • Understanding the unique values that define progressivism is crucial for ideological and political analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable measure, the Progressive Values Scale (PVS), to characterize distinctly progressive values.
  • To explore the psychological and value-based individual differences associated with a progressive worldview.
  • To differentiate progressivism from traditional liberalism and left-wing authoritarianism.

Main Methods:

  • Four studies were conducted involving left-wing participants evaluating political issues.
  • Factor analysis was used to develop and confirm the structure of the Progressive Values Scale (PVS).
  • The PVS was validated against personality measures, values, and prototypical face generation tasks, and compared with authoritarianism scales.

Main Results:

  • A four-factor structure for progressive values was identified and confirmed across studies.
  • The Progressive Values Scale (PVS) successfully differentiated progressive individuals from traditional liberals.
  • The PVS proved to be a better predictor of progressive political preferences and social judgments than authoritarianism measures.

Conclusions:

  • The Progressive Values Scale (PVS) offers a validated instrument for measuring a distinct progressive ideological orientation.
  • Progressivism encompasses a unique set of values separate from traditional liberalism and authoritarian tendencies.
  • The PVS aids in understanding the psychological underpinnings and political implications of progressive ideology.
