Abstract

This study aims to assess the validity of the Revised Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ-RR) within the Chinese population to examine the applicability of the 19-factor Theory of Individual Values in the Chinese cultural context. A sample of 9590 Chinese participants (age range: 11-60; 4360 males) completed the Chinese version of the PVQ-RR. Psychometric analyses indicated that the Chinese version of the PVQ-RR consistently measures 19 basic values and 4 higher-order values. Multidimensional scaling results showed that the circular structure of individual values among Chinese generally aligns with the Theory of Individual Values, but the positions of some values among the 19 basic individual values exhibit strong cultural characteristics. The findings also revealed that the most valued among Chinese people is security-societal, while the least valued are power-resources and power-dominance. This study reaffirms the cross-cultural consistency of the Theory of Individual Values and provides a reliable tool for assessing individual values among Chinese people.

中国人口个体价值理论：基于修订的肖像价值问卷的心理测量学检验。

本研究旨在评估修订的肖像价值问卷（PVQ-RR）在中国人群中的有效性，以检验19因素个人价值理论在中国文化背景下的适用性。9590名中国参与者(年龄范围：11-60岁；4360名男性)完成了PVQ-RR的中国版本。心理测量分析表明，中国版PVQ-RR具有19个基本值和4个高阶值的一致性。多维尺度分析结果显示，中国人个体价值观的圆形结构总体上符合个体价值观理论，但部分价值观在19个基本价值观中的位置表现出较强的文化特征。调查结果还显示，中国人最重视的是社会安全，而最不重视的是权力资源和权力支配。本研究重申了个人价值观理论的跨文化一致性，并为评估中国人的个人价值观提供了可靠的工具。
