Abstract

ABSTRACT We review recent research investigating the effect of shared human values on personal and social outcomes. Using more precise methods than past research, cross-sectional and experimental evidence suggests that well-being and prejudice are predicted by the extent to which people’s values align (or are perceived to align) with those of other people around them. Importantly, this research shows that these effects depend on the type of values being considered and are more nuanced than prior research suggests. For example, well-being is higher among individuals who perceive their fellow citizens to share their values of power and achievement. Prejudice against immigrants is higher among individuals who value conservation more but perceive immigrants to value openness. Moreover, experimentally highlighting actual value similarities rather than mean differences improves attitudes towards outgroups. We discuss how future studies can improve our understanding of value similarity effects and their underlying mechanisms.

测量和操纵价值相似性对偏见和幸福感的影响

我们回顾了最近关于共同价值观对个人和社会结果影响的研究。使用比过去研究更精确的方法，横断面和实验证据表明，人们的价值观与周围其他人的价值观一致(或被认为一致)的程度可以预测幸福感和偏见。重要的是，这项研究表明，这些影响取决于所考虑的价值观类型，而且比之前的研究表明的更为微妙。例如，那些认为他们的同胞分享他们的权力和成就价值观的人，幸福感更高。在那些更重视保守但认为移民更重视开放的人群中，对移民的偏见更高。此外，通过实验强调实际价值的相似性，而不是平均差异，可以改善对外群体的态度。我们讨论了未来的研究如何提高我们对价值相似效应及其潜在机制的理解。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
