Schwartz Value Survey

The Schwartz Value Survey is a psychological tool that identifies and categorizes human values into a framework. Developed by psychologist Shalom Schwartz, it outlines ten core values that reflect what people find important in life, such as self-direction, achievement, and benevolence. These values are organized along two dimensions: one emphasizes openness to change versus conservation, and the other prioritizes self-enhancement versus self-transcendence. The survey helps researchers and organizations understand individual and cultural motivations, enabling better insights into human behavior, decision-making, and social interactions.
