Abstract

The current article describes the development and application of the Human Values Scales (HVS), a multi-method measure of values that utilizes single words/concepts, short phrases, and paragraphs. The HVS was constructed by consulting previous research utilizing theory-driven and data-driven approaches to identify items that could measure values according to Max Scheler's hierarchical model. Translations and back-translations were completed for the HVS, the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ-30), and the Scheler Value Scale (SWS) to ensure equivalent English, Polish, and Spanish forms. In the first study, data from the U.S., Poland, and Chile were utilized for Exploratory Factor Analysis, revealing the number of factors originally hypothesized for the HVS, but not for the MFQ-30 or SWS. The second study collected data from the U.S. and Poland for Confirmatory Factor Analysis, achieving acceptable fit for a correlated model and support for configural and metric invariance across groups. Additional results are discussed that support the use of the HVS in cross-cultural research exploring human values.

人类价值观量表：检测跨文化的价值观结构和可变性

本文描述了人类价值观量表（HVS）的发展和应用，这是一种使用单个单词/概念、短句和段落的多方法价值观测量方法。HVS是通过参考先前的研究，利用理论驱动和数据驱动的方法来确定可以根据Max Scheler的分层模型测量价值的项目而构建的。完成了HVS、道德基础问卷（MFQ-30）和舍勒价值量表（SWS）的翻译和反翻译，以确保英语、波兰语和西班牙语格式相同。在第一项研究中，来自美国、波兰和智利的数据被用于探索性因素分析，揭示了最初假设的HVS因素的数量，而不是MFQ-30或SWS。第二项研究收集了来自美国和波兰的数据，用于验证性因子分析，实现了可接受的相关模型的拟合，并支持了组间的结构和度量不变性。本文还讨论了支持HVS在探索人类价值的跨文化研究中使用的其他结果。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
