这本原创而引人入胜的书倡导一种毫不掩饰的经验主义方法来理解人类价值观：我们认为重要的抽象理想，如自由，平等，成就，乐于助人，安全，传统与和平。我们的价值观与我们所做的一切相关，帮助我们在职业、学校、浪漫伴侣、居住地、购买物品、投票给谁等等之间做出选择。公众对价值观心理学有着极大的兴趣，越来越多的人认识到需要更深入地了解价值观是如何嵌入我们的态度和行为的。它们如何影响我们的幸福、我们与他人的关系、我们的繁荣和我们的环境？
在他对这些问题的研究中，Maio专注于通过观察人们的实际想法和行为来检验价值观理论。在过去的五十年里，心理学研究已经了解了很多关于价值观的知识，本书描述了我们所学到的东西以及为什么它很重要。它提供了心理学研究的第一个概述，着眼于我们如何在心理上代表和使用我们的价值观，并构成了各级心理学学生的重要阅读，以及心理学和相关社会和健康科学的学者。
This original and engaging book advocates an unabashedly empirical approach to understanding human values: abstract ideals that we consider important, such as freedom, equality, achievement, helpfulness, security, tradition, and peace. Our values are relevant to everything we do, helping us choose between careers, schools, romantic partners, places to live, things to buy, who to vote for, and much more. There is enormous public interest in the psychology of values and a growing recognition of the need for a deeper understanding of the ways in which values are embedded in our attitudes and behavior. How do they affect our well-being, our relationships with other people, our prosperity, and our environment?
In his examination of these questions, Maio focuses on tests of theories about values, through observations of what people actually think and do. In the past five decades, psychological research has learned a lot about values, and this book describes what we have learned and why it is important. It provides the first overview of psychological research looking at how we mentally represent and use our values, and constitutes important reading for psychology students at all levels, as well as academics in psychology and related social and health sciences.
