Abstract

Background: Personal values have been extensively found to be relevant variables linked to prosociality; they are desirable and trans-situational goals that serve as guiding principles in people's lives to select modes, means and actions, these reflecting what people consider relevant and worthy. Research has investigated how cultural background influences people's personal values and prosociality, but little is known about the influence of the perception of the values endorsed by significant others, namely the people belonging to the micro-relational context with whom daily interactions and exchanges are possible. Based on Schwartz's theory of basic human values, we analyzed the moderating role of the perceptions of significant others' values in the relationship between personal values and self-reported prosociality.

Participants and procedure: Two hundred and forty-five Italian young adults (66.9% women) aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 22.58, SD = 2.53) completed a self-report questionnaire.

Results: Specifically, openness to change values were a significant positive predictor of self-reported prosociality when respondents perceived low importance assigned both to openness to change and self-transcendence by significant others, whereas conservation values were a significant positive predictor of self-reported prosociality when respondents perceived low importance assigned to self-enhancement by significant others.

Conclusions: Our findings show a complex interplay between personal values and perceived significant others' values in shaping young adults' self-reported prosociality.

感知重要他人的价值观:它们在个人价值观和自我报告的亲社会性之间的关系中重要吗?
个人价值观已被广泛发现是与亲社会相关的变量;它们是理想的、跨情境的目标,是人们在生活中选择模式、手段和行动的指导原则,反映了人们认为相关和有价值的东西。研究已经调查了文化背景如何影响人们的个人价值观和亲社会,但对重要他人(即属于微观关系背景的人)所支持的价值观感知的影响知之甚少,这些人可能与他们进行日常互动和交流。基于Schwartz的人类基本价值观理论,我们分析了重要他人价值观感知在个人价值观与自我报告亲社会关系中的调节作用。245名年龄在18 - 30岁之间的意大利年轻人(66.9%为女性)(M = 22.58, SD = 2.53)完成了一份自我报告问卷。具体而言,当被调查者感知到重要他人对改变的开放性和自我超越的低重要性时,对改变价值观的开放性是自我报告的亲社会性的显著正向预测因子,而当被调查者感知到重要他人对自我提升的低重要性时,保守价值观是自我报告的亲社会性的显著正向预测因子。我们的研究结果表明,在塑造年轻人自我报告的亲社会性方面,个人价值观和感知到的重要他人价值观之间存在复杂的相互作用。
