Notes about Portrait Values Questionnaire (or PVQ-21) by Milton Rokeach (via ChatGPT):
The PVQ-21 (Personal Values Questionnaire-21) is a measurement tool developed by psychologist Milton Rokeach to assess an individual’s personal values. It aims to capture the core beliefs and priorities that guide a person’s attitudes and behaviors.
The questionnaire consists of 21 items that represent different instrumental and terminal values. Instrumental values refer to desirable qualities or behaviors that individuals believe are important for achieving their goals, while terminal values represent desired end states or outcomes in life.
Respondents are presented with a list of values and are asked to rate the importance of each value to them personally. The values included in the PVQ-21 cover a wide range of domains, such as personal relationships, work, community, and personal growth.
The PVQ-21 provides researchers and psychologists with insights into an individual’s value system and can be used to compare and analyze value orientations across different individuals or groups. By understanding a person’s core values, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of their motivations, decision-making processes, and overall psychological well-being.
It’s worth noting that the PVQ-21 is just one among several tools available for measuring personal values. Depending on the research objectives or context, other questionnaires or methods may be more suitable.
