Schwartz's work on values and behavioral science

Schwartz's work explores how people's core values—such as security, achievement, or caring—shape their behaviors and decision-making. He identified universal values shared across cultures and examined how they influence actions in various contexts. By understanding these values, Schwartz helps explain why individuals and societies prioritize some goals over others, affecting everything from personal choices to social policies. His research bridges psychology and behavioral science, providing insights into human motivation and the social dynamics that guide behavior, ultimately helping us better understand what drives us and how values maintain social cohesion.
