Abstract

Objective

We aimed to investigate value change and stability longitudinally in middle childhood.

Background

Values are the aspect of personality defining one's aspirations. Research identifies meaningful values in middle childhood, yet we know little about the process of their development within individual.

Method

Children (N = 298; 53.7% girls, Mage = 7 years and 3 months, SD = 7.70 months, at the first time point) four times, annually.

Results

Rank-order stability increased with age and decreased with time-span. We found value hierarchy consistency, with value hierarchy similar to adolescents in the priority given to openness to change versus conservation values, and to adults in the priority given to self-transcendence values. Latent growth curve analyses indicated linear increase in openness to change, and curvilinear increase in self-transcendence values, and linear decrease in conservation and self-enhancement values, with some differences across ages. Value structure was better differentiated with age. Compatible values changed in similar, and conflicting values in opposite directions.

Conclusions

This paper suggests that in middle childhood, children can already report stable values. Moreover, middle childhood is characterized by coherent change patterns, of increase in the importance of growth, and decrease in the focus on conflicting protection values.

儿童中期个人价值观的发展。
目的:我们旨在纵向调查儿童中期的价值变化和稳定性。背景:价值观是定义个人抱负的人格方面。研究确定了儿童中期有意义的价值观,但我们对其在个体内的发展过程知之甚少。方法:儿童(N = 298;53.7%女孩,法师 = 7. 年和3 月,SD = 7.70个月,在第一个时间点)每年四次。结果:秩序稳定性随年龄的增长而增加,随时间的推移而降低。我们发现了价值层次的一致性,价值层次与青少年相似,他们优先考虑改变的开放性与保护价值观,与成年人相似,他们也优先考虑自我超越价值观。潜在增长曲线分析表明,对变化的开放性呈线性增加,自我超越值呈曲线增加,保守性和自我增强值呈线性下降,不同年龄段之间存在一些差异。价值结构与年龄的差异更大。兼容的值朝着相似的方向变化,而冲突的值则朝着相反的方向变化。结论:本文认为,在儿童中期,儿童已经可以报告稳定的价值观。此外,儿童中期的特点是连贯的变化模式,成长的重要性增加,对相互冲突的保护价值观的关注减少。
