Abstract
The authors investigated the degree to which self‐enhancement and self‐transcendent values relate to spousal reports of compassion, humility, and positivity in marital relationships. The data were drawn from a self‐report telephone survey of 1,513 heterosexual married individuals living in the United States in 2013. Results indicate that self‐transcendent values positively relate to compassion, humility, and positivity, whereas self‐fulfillment values relate only to positivity. These results did not differ by gender or age. Together, these findings suggest personal values have an impact on marital processes. Implications for practice are discussed.
