The Psychology of Values : The Ontario Symposium, Volume 8

The eighth Ontario Symposium brought together an international group of scholars who work in the area of the psychology of values.

Among the categories these experts address are the conceptualizations of values, value systems, and value-attitude-behavior relations; methodological issues; the role of values in specific domains, such as prejudice, commitment, and deservingness; and the transmission of values through family, media, and culture.

Each chapter in the volume illustrates both the diversity and vitality of research on the psychology of values.
