A quick and dirty collection of values, with their provenance and some of their expressed relations, from the Web. Relations include negative oppositions from Haidt (e.g. from Haidt J. and Graham J. When Morality Opposes Justice: Conservatives Have Moral Intuitions that Liberals may not Recognize. Social Justice Research, Vol. 20, No. 1, March 2007, 10.1007/s11211-007-0034-z), subsumptions from Schwartz' circumplex model (e.g. from Schwartz, S. H. (1992). Universals in the content and structure of values: theoretical advances and empirical tests in 20 countries. Adv. Exp. Soc. Psychol. 25, 1–65. doi: 10.1016/S0065-2601(08)60281-6; Schwartz, S. H. (2012). An Overview of the Schwartz Theory of Basic Values. Online Readings in Psychology and Culture, 2, 1, 10.9707/2307-0919.1116; Schwartz, S. H. (2014). Rethinking the concept and measurement of societal culture in light of empirical findings. J. Cross. Cult. Psychol. 45, 5–13, 10.1177/ 0022022113490830; Schwartz, S. H. A. (2006). theory of cultural value orientations: Explication and applications. Comp. Soc. 5, 137–182. doi: 10.1163/1569133067786 67357), and some clearly contrastive oppositions, also from Schwartz'. Subsumptions pair subclass taxonomies (following the D&S super-duper punning). Relations allow to infer a quite complex taxonomy, deserving investigation. Apparently, the circumplex model and related glosses hint at a more complex model of values (involving e.g. norms, goals, equilibria, causality, etc.), which needs to be designed, and used to refactor this collection with analytic axioms. For example, Self-protection values should include roles played by Self and Others, action or event types that may prize or harm the Self, parameters establishing the protection dimensions, related social and legal norms aimed at (or limiting) Self-protection, etc. Most values collected on the Web seem to reuse academic studies such as Schwartz, Haidt, etc., but it is interesting to spot the convergence among psychological, business, military, and cultural contexts. Several values found in Web lists have no obvious subsumers in Schwartz' hiearchy, and need refinement. Not all values feature a gloss, and many of them feature glosses with a provenance of suspicious quality. Overall, some redundance may exist, even within established models, e.g. the difference between Personal Security and Self-protection in Schwartz92 might be blurred. Finally, a first extraction of value-related frames from Framester has been done, leading to 7 conceptual frames and 6 synset frames that cover all senses of 'value', from proper normative/goal senses to commercial and informational senses. A much deeper extraction needs to be done by using the labels from the value collection, and attempting a transitive closure across Framester and its modules, in order to discover possible inconsistencies, problematic inferences, typical roles, associations to sentiment polarity and emotions, visual categories, etc.
Schwartz' contrastive opposition relation, designed as a symmetric property. In Schwartz' theory, such contrast entails conflict, and should lead to a disjointness relation between the situation classes satisfying the contrasted values. However, the conflict assumption is heavily debated in literature.
A (judgmentally, culturally dependent) opposition between a (positive) value, and a negative one. Cf. Haidt and Graham 2007, who however claim the universality of the polarity. Due to the asymmetry in the notion, the relation is not symmetric.
Cultural values represent ideals that shape the beliefs and actions of individuals and groups in the culture. They act as societal responses to three main challenges to a successful cohabitation: relations between individuals and groups (contrasting Intellectual/Affective Autonomy vs. Embeddedness); the way individuals act in a responsible manner toward preserving the well-being of their society (contrasting Egalitarianism vs. Hierarchy); individuals’ interests regarding the natural and social environment (contrasting Harmony vs. Mastery) (Schwartz2006). In contrast to individual values, which are observable constructs affecting individual behavior, cultural values are abstract constructs (Schwartz2014), which manifest in various forms ranging from written artifacts to knowledge that members of the culture communicate amongst each other. Methodological discussion in: Erich H. Witte, Adrian Stanciu and Klaus Boehnke. A New Empirical Approach to Intercultural Comparisons of Value Preferences Based on Schwartz’s Theory. Front. Psychol., 14 July 2020, 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01723
Actions pursuing one value “have consequences that conflict with some values but are congruent with others.” This has “practical, psychological, and social consequences.” “Of course, people can and do pursue competing values, but not in a single act. Rather, they do so through different acts, at different times, and in different settings.”
Individual values are responses to three universal requirements: biological needs, agreement on social actions, survival and well-being of groups (Schwartz1992).
Individual values are subjective beliefs of individuals (a) associated with affect, (b) referring to goals that motivate action, (c) transcending specific situations, (d) serving as evaluative standards, (e) ordered according to their relative (our emphasis) importance, and (f) guiding individuals’ action (Schwartz2102).
Schwartz: The relative importance of multiple values guides action. Any attitude or behaviour typically has implications for more than one value. … The tradeoff among relevant, competing values guides attitudes and behaviors… Values influence action when they are relevant in the context (hence likely to be activated) and important to the actor.
Schwartz: Values are beliefs linked inextricably to affect. When values are activated, they become infused with feeling.
Schwartz: Values are ordered by importance relative to one another. People’s values form an ordered system of priorities that characterize them as individuals.
Schwartz: Values refer to desirable goals that motivate action.
Schwartz: Values serve as standards or criteria. Values guide the selection or evaluation of actions, policies, people, and events. People decide what is good or bad, justified or illegitimate, worth doing or avoiding, based on possible consequences for their cherished values. But the impact of values in everyday decisions is rarely conscious. Values enter awareness when the actions or judgments one is considering have conflicting implications for different values one cherishes.
Schwartz: Values transcend specific actions and situations. … This feature distinguishes values from norms and attitudes that usually refer to specific actions, objects, or situations.

Whether you’re working with data at work or in your personal life, valuing accuracy allows you to gain the necessary insight to make the best decisions. While some people and companies focus a great deal of attention on getting as much information as possible, the information gathered is not always correct, and often people gain knowledge that they don’t even know what to do with. But if you value accuracy, you will be less likely to make errors or waste time with useless information.

If you make it a priority to do selfless acts, you value altruism.

Inclusion is a value that focuses on accepting diversity–it supports real opportunities for all people to form meaningful relationships. Just over the last two decades, people’s rights have evolved through policies and laws that require services to offer accommodations allowing everyone to participate. However, inclusion will never be fully realized until people live in line with these policies. Inclusiveness is about having positive interactions with other people and valuing everyone for who they are. That said, it has to be intrinsically motivated and derive from holding the belief that everyone has value and a right to belong.
Valuing your independence doesn’t mean that you never rely on other people for anything. It simply means that you have the ability to give something meaningful back whenever you take from someone else. Independence gives you control over your own life and it makes you a creator rather than a user.
This personal core value refers to the ability to be comfortable with yourself, the people around you, and being accepting of the life you’re living.
Innovation is an important value to some because it encompasses forward thinking and the advancement of society by solving collective problems using methods that are both sustainable and efficient, typically with new technology.

Our brains are quick to become accustomed to any type of stimulation. In fact, our bodies are too. This is why doing the exact same workout every day wouldn’t continue to produce results six months after starting the routine. This is also why people go through that honeymoon phase when they meet a new partner. Your brain always wants more. However, this often leads to things that are unhealthy–more junk food, more alcohol, more Netflix. However, if you value moderation, you will find that you’re able to experience more fulfillment and gratification from everyday things. You won’t need to be searching for extremes to find some type of brain rush.
If you value modesty, you let your actions speak for themselves and avoid boasting about your abilities.
Some value the pursuit of new challenges, circumstances, and experiences in life. If you live in the same town where you were born and tend to stick to a routine, novelty is likely not one of your personal core values.
It is helpful to value objectivity in the workplace because it means you’re willing to look at the facts when you’re confronted with a conflict. You’re able to put your emotions and personal involvement aside.
Even if you don’t think you will agree with an idea or concept, being able to consider it and be willing to entertain a variety of ideas is a good value to have.
Many people have a hard time making any personal progress if they’re living in a chaotic environment. Cleanliness and orderliness are often values people hold to maintain a calm state of mind.
Valuing originality means that you walk your own path and stray away from what everyone else seems to be doing. This value comes naturally and can usually be seen through art or creativity.
When you value partnership, you also value collaboration, respect, teamwork, and loyalty. Whether it’s in a business or a personal setting, valuing partnership sets the stage for various ideas and opinions to come together to create something better than the sum of its parts.
Having enthusiasm for living your life on your own terms will ensure that you also have the determination that is needed to succeed.
Valuing patience means recognizing the fact that sometimes the only thing that can make something work out in your favor is time.
It’s about learning from our past mistakes and being vigilant about considering if the country is headed in the right direction. Patriotism is a spirit of camaraderie for others who live in this country, regardless of their background. Valuing patriotism is about knowing when the country is fumbling, and doing your part to make it a better place.

People who become very successful have undoubtedly failed more often throughout their lives than many others have even tried. It is easy to quit, but perseverance pays off.
Persistence is the determination to keep going, regardless of how you feel. Even if you feel like quitting, you keep working because you know success doesn’t come without a cost. Valuing persistence is a motivating factor in continuing to take action on the days that you want to quit, which allows you to keep accumulating results. With persistence, you press on until you achieve whatever goal you’re working toward.
If you can really appreciate a good break from hard work to have a laugh, you probably value playfulness. Letting your mind relax is healthy in order to be really effective once you get back to work.

Defining goal: social status and prestige, control or dominance over people and resources.
There are certainly some things in life that you can never prepare for, but by valuing this quality, people are able to either avoid or mitigate unwelcomed circumstances. Identifying risks in any area of your life and coming up with potential plans for action is rarely something that is regretted.
This isn’t just about knowing how to act professionally in the workplace. It is also about knowing how to be polite, use good manners, and be dependable in your everyday life.
The thing about valuing punctuality is that it shows a great respect for other people’s time as well. This allows people to depend on you and hopefully have a mutual respect for your time as well.
Valuing recognition of your work means that you know its importance and you want other people to see that as well. You want confirmation of its importance to the world. This doesn’t mean that you always feel like you need to be praised, it’s simply a value that means you feel a sense of satisfaction when you’re reassured that you’re adding value to some sort of domain. Being recognized for your work helps you stay motivated to maintain–or even improve–your performance.
How easy is it for you to cope with adversity? If you value resilience, you strive to be flexible, go with the flow, and bounce back after things don’t go your way.
respect , respectfulness , respect for others
Giving and receiving respect is important because it fosters a sense of connection between people and it makes us feel comfortable expressing ourselves to others. Valuing respect means you’re able to accept other people, despite their difference in background or beliefs from your own. Having respect helps build feelings of trust, security, and safety.
Some people strongly value having a sense of sole personal accountability for the success of a specific area of their community or group. This often promotes self-confidence and can lead to a deep sense of accomplishment.
Responsiveness is an important value that seems to have gone missing from many people, both personally and professionally. And, with the endless ways to get in touch these days, it’s surprising that some people simply fail to do so. Those who value responsiveness make it a point to answer others’ inquiries in a timely manner because that is how they prefer people to respond to them. Valuing responsiveness is also about valuing respect for other people and their time.
Knowing when to stop is a huge factor in success. You need to rest your body and your mind to be on top of your game when it really counts.
Restraint naturally emerges in the short pause your body takes after breathing in and before breathing out. Your mind and body both know how to pause before taking action, allowing you the time to generate awareness and consider the results of your next move before choosing to take it. Valuing this ability to pause helps you make decisions in a deeper state of awareness to determine the best course of action.
If you value taking risks, you know that if you follow your gut, there is a chance that it will lead to a huge payoff. You’re not afraid to face the option of failing if there is also an option for success.
Defining goal: safety, harmony, and stability of society, of relationships, and of self.
People want to minimize their risk of being a victim of any type of security threat, which makes this a common value.
This is a very important core value to have, as it lets you realize when you’ve messed up and pinpoint how you can fix your mistakes in the future. Having self-awareness also means you know why you react to certain situations in the way that you do and recognize triggers that may lead to certain emotions.
Having this value involves being successful in such a way that you recognize your skills are making a positive contribution to your community or those around you.
Defining goal: independent thought and action–choosing, creating, exploring.
“The second dimension contrasts ‘self-enhancement’ and ‘self-transcendence’ values. This dimension captures the conflict between values that emphasize concern for the welfare and interests of others (universalism, benevolence) and values that emphasize pursuit of one’s own interests and relative success and dominance over others (power, achievement).”
Those who value self-respect know when to say “no” to anything in their lives that is emotionally, mentally, or financially unhealthy. Valuing self-respect means knowing your worth, your value, and being willing to advocate for yourself whenever necessary. Given these beliefs, you’re able to set boundaries with other people and draw a firm line in regard to how you will and won’t be treated.
When one of your personal core values is service, you find a sense of fulfillment in sharing your talents or abilities with others in a way that is beneficial to their lives, and you’re willing to contribute to your society without expecting anything in return.
People tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. Those who prefer to keep things straightforward are those who value simplicity.
This can go hand-in-hand with honesty, but it also involves being authentic in everything you say and avoiding putting on any type of front to impress other people.
Embracing silence or calmness can not only be a great value to have, but also a great skill. Those who know when to speak and when to listen are often highly respected.
Defining goal: excitement, novelty, and challenge in life.
Valuing structure involves having a sense of control over your surroundings and exercising discipline to maintain an acceptable level of restriction.
Your talents are your abilities, skills, and competencies that govern what you can do. With a growth mindset, you work on developing your talents over time because you know that you can. When you value talent in yourself and in others, you can optimize your time by working in line with your realized value. If you happen to have true talent in a specific area–either personally or professionally–you also possess a great amount of intrinsic value that can have a strong positive impact on your life.
Valuing tolerance goes beyond having an ability to “put up” with something. When you value tolerance, it means you have a positive view toward relationships among people who differ from each other. Tolerance can be linked to respect, equality, and independence. Valuing tolerance makes it possible for conflicting beliefs and ideas to coexist, as long as they lie within common moral values. Tolerance is a critical component in social unity and can be a remedy to prejudice.
tradition , traditional, eespect for tradition
Defining goal: respect, commitment, and acceptance of the customs and ideas that one’s culture or religion provides.
Valuing tradition would involve ritualizing some sort of history in your life to add a sense of enrichment, and passing that on to subsequent generations. Think of your family traditions for holidays, birthdays, or even just summer nights. If you value tradition, you’re likely to teach these things to future generations of your family to keep the traditions going. Many people value tradition because it helps define the uniqueness of a family or any type of tight-knit community.
Valuing trusting relationships means that one of your top priorities is to be able to express your thoughts and feelings in a mutually trusting environment where you and the other person have confidence in the integrity of one another.
The value of unity is that everyone on a team or in a group setting is respected. Unity breeds cooperation, increases people’s enthusiasm, and furnishes an empowering atmosphere. When you value unity, you believe in fostering a sense of belonging and improving everyone’s wellbeing.
Defining goal: understanding, appreciation, tolerance, and protection for the welfare of all people and for nature.
Our society loves “things”. We love extra features, “all-in-one” products, and things of the sort–and we also love saving money. Putting those two things together undoubtedly makes versatility a common value among people. Recycling and repurposing are popular ways in which people act on their value of versatility, as reusing older products to make something “new” or completely starting from scratch with used materials are both environmentally sustainable practices, which are also valued among people.
Whether you value wealth to be able to provide for your family or to be able to live a peaceful life, this is a personal core value that isn’t as selfish as it may sound.
Valuing wisdom isn’t just about putting an emphasis on knowledge. It is also about having your knowledge stand the test of time and being able to reflect on your experiences to exact your knowledge.
