A typology of educational democratic values: perspectives from teachers and students in Vietnamese secondary schools

ABSTRACT Educational democratic (ED) values and their manifestation in school are related to the school context and the socio-political-cultural setting. In-depth interviews were conducted with nine participants, including two principals, four teachers, and three students in two secondary schools in Da Nang city, Central Vietnam. The participants indicated sixteen ED values, either instrumental (e.g., friendliness, autonomy) or terminal (e.g., fairness, equality). These ED values can be recognized in both formal and informal school spaces. The findings shed light on the Vietnamese stakeholders’ views on ED values, their manifestation, and their contribution to the democratic school, which could be a premise for further exploring stakeholders’ democratic commitment in the Vietnamese educational context.

Ethnic cultural value typologies and mental health parameters among Indians

Indians comprise a distinct cultural community within the United States (U.S.). In this population, research suggests that differing levels of adherence to ethnic cultural values relate to mental health symptoms, treatment preferences, and treatment-seeking barriers. Uniquely, the current study examined ethnic cultural value typologies and their relationship with mental health parameters (distress, mental health severity, internal/institutional barriers to seeking treatment, and treatment preference domains of therapist directiveness, emotional intensity, past orientation, and support). The sample included 231 Indians (55.40% females; Mage=34.70) recruited at local cultural events. Latent profile analysis (LPA) indicated a best-fitting 3-class solution: Family-Oriented and Collectivistic, Moderate Traditionalists, and Integrated Cultural-Self. Multinomial logistic regressions indicated that endorsing greater distress, internal barriers to seeking treatment, and a treatment preference for therapist directiveness increased the chances of being in the Moderate Traditionalist Class vs. the Integrated Cultural-Self Class. Endorsing greater institutional barriers to seeking treatment and a preference for past orientation increased the chances of being in the Integrated Cultural-Self Class vs. the Moderate Traditionalist Class. Endorsing internal barriers to seeking treatment increased the chances of being in the Moderate Traditionalist Class vs. the Family-Oriented and Collectivistic Class. Findings highlight diversity in ethnic cultural value patterns and the importance of providing support, outreach, and intervention services especially to Indians in the Moderate Traditionalist Class who experience greater distress and internal barriers to seeking treatment. Psychotherapy with Indians should address and accommodate culturally-influenced treatment preferences of this group.

Some instructional problems in the formation of family and moral values of students

In this article, we examine the instructional theoretical work on the formation of family-moral values ​​of students, conduct experimental work on a small experimental site and consider its concrete results. Methods were used to determine students' moral awareness, understanding family as value, family relationships, ability to control family conflicts, and active involvement in family decision-making. Theoretically, content analysis, synthesis, generalization, survey, diagnostics, and the like were organized. Based on the above, it is very effective to use Rokeach's method of "valuing the value". We present a percentage index based on the traditional relationships of the family institution in the form of a forming experiment organized on the basis of the "Psychological trainings for family life" series, which is organized in the right direction, in conjunction with the new social and economic conditions within the modern society.

Latent profile analysis of human values: What is the optimal number of clusters?

Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) is a method to extract homogeneous clusters characterized by a common response profile. Previous works employing LPA to human value segmentation tend to select a small number of moderately homogeneous clusters based on model selection criteria such as Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion and Entropy. The question is whether a small number of clusters is all that can be gleaned from the data. While some studies have carefully compared different statistical model selection criteria, there is currently no established criteria to assess if an increased number of clusters generates meaningful theoretical insights. This article examines the content and meaningfulness of the clusters extracted using two algorithms: Variational Bayesian LPA and Maximum Likelihood LPA. For both methods, our results point towards eight as the optimal number of clusters for characterizing distinctive Schwartz value typologies that generate meaningful insights and predict several external variables.

Framing the Values of Vernacular Architecture for a Value-Based Conservation: A Conceptual Framework

While a growing number of researchers have provided series of tough critiques of the typology-led heritage value assessment over the recent years, the impacts have been constrained by the continued obsession with expanding the list of the predetermined value typologies rather than escaping its limitations. While these sustained debates have provided important insights, this article argues that operationalizing these predetermined ‘one-size-fits-all’ value typologies is symptomatic of a number of shortcomings, especially in the context of capturing the pluralities of values in contextualized heritage such as vernacular architecture. It also often undermines inclusivity and participation in the valuing processes. However, rather than simply rejecting the values-based paradigm, this article proposes a conceptual value assessment framework that is informed by the theorization of vernacular architecture as a contextualized heritage. The proposed Vernacular Value Model (VVM) puts forward the ‘when(s)’ and ‘how(s)’ of amalgamating both technical and normative processes to capture the range of contextual values present in built vernacular heritage. To this end, this article posits that by drawing on such a proposed flexible framework, the conservation strategy for built vernacular heritage can be propagated as an inclusive and participatory process which captures the wide range of values for a more sustainable practices for conservation.

Basic values of Russian and foreign students (comparative aspect)

The article deals with the comparison of the basic values of modern students (Russian and foreign). The authors examine and compare basic values held by modern students (Russian and foreign). The study is based on the typology of basic values of Russians (research project "Tomskaya initsiativa", 2001) and the list of values from the S. Schwartz Value Survey. The respondents are asked to choose 10 key values out of 40 basic values and assess them using the S. Schwartz scale. The surveys performed by the authors at the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute and Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University are used as the materials for the study.

Personal Value Typology in the Moroccan Context: An examination of High School Students’ Orientations in Light of Gender and Ecology

This study sought to examine the personal value types of high school students in Fez and its suburbs. It used a sample of 376 subjects and employed the Rokeach’s (1973) value survey instrument and the Musser and Orke (1992) typology to classify the personal values into types. The authors tested for differences by gender and geographical area. Findings revealed no gender differences in value type preferences since both male and female students were more alike than different in their value orientation by falling into the category of the Independent Maximizer. However, significant differences were noticed regarding the geographical area to which the respondents belong. Accordingly, the dominant value type of the sample was that of the Independent Maximizer represented by the students of Fez, followed by the Honorable Egoist exemplified by the students of Sefrou. The least frequent types were the Effective Crusader and the Virtuous Advocate under which the students of Tawjdate were classified. The authors discussed the findings with respect to anthropological and historical framework.

A Textual and Visual Analysis of the Intrinsic Value Dimensions of Romania: Towards a Sustainable Destination Brand

This work examines the projected image of Romania as an emerging tourism destination. Computed content-analysis was applied to the photos, text and video materials promoted online in Romania’s last international tourism campaign. The conceptual framework used corresponds to intrinsic values (play, aesthetics, ethics and spirituality), from Holbrook’s typology of value. Being more difficult to apprehend and therefore studied less, intrinsic values allow a more sophisticated approach to value creation. The purpose here is to identify the main attributes that are promoted about Romania by destination marketing organizations. The content analysis of text (last international promotion campaign Explore the Carpathian Garden) and visual data (27 photos from the official Facebook webpage and 7 TV videos) allow to depict an experiential view of Romania’s image: natural resources (coded as aesthetics with 29% of references), epistemic value of discovery (play 25.8%), authentic and historical traditions (ethics 25.8%) and wellness and therapeutic activities (spirituality, 19.3%). Destination marketing organizations have the potential to develop some distinctive aspects such as authenticity (as an ethical value dimension) and play (as an active, self-oriented value). Findings also highlight that a complimentary approach using textual and visual data might be a suitable option to research destination brand image.

Ethical and Social Values for Paediatric Health Technology Assessment and Drug Policy.

Background: Public policy approaches to funding paediatric medicines in advanced health systems remain understudied. In particular, the ethical and social values dimensions of health technology assessment (HTA) and drug coverage decisions for children have received almost no attention in research or policy. Methods: To elicit and understand the social values that influence decision-making for public funding of paediatric drugs, we undertook a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a stratified purposive sample (n = 22) of stakeholders involved with or affected by drug funding decisions for children at the provincial (Ontario) and national levels in Canada. Constructivist grounded theory methodology guided data collection and thematic analysis. Results: Our study provides empirical evidence about the unique ethical and social values dimensions of HTA for children, and describes a novel social values typology for paediatric drug policy decision-making. Three principal categories of values emerged from stakeholder reflections on HTA and drug policy-making for children: procedural values, structural values, and sociocultural values. Key findings include the importance of attention to the procedural legitimacy of HTA for children, with emphasis on the inclusion of child health voices in processes of technology appraisal and policy uptake; a role for HTA institutions to consider the equity impacts of technologies, both in setting review priorities and in assessing the value of technologies for public coverage; and the potential benefits of a distinct national framework to guide drug policy for children. Conclusion: Current approaches to HTA are not well designed for the realities of child health and illness, nor the societal priorities regarding children that our study identified. This research generates new knowledge to inform decision-making on paediatric drugs by HTA institutions and government payers in Canada and other publicly-funded health systems, through insights into the relevant social values for child drug funding decisions from varied stakeholder groups.

Experiencing fashion: the interplay between consumer value and sustainability

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore consumers perceptions of sustainability, including how information is accessed, evaluated and practiced and how sustainability concepts transfer to fashion consumption. Design/methodology/approach The research adopts a phenomenological approach of unstructured interviews with 28 professionally working mothers. Garment labels indicating concepts of sustainability from UK fashion-retailers were used as a vehicle for discussion. Data was analysed through the theoretical lens of Holbrook’s (1999) typology of consumer value. Findings The findings identity that the participants struggle with understanding how sustainability is compromised within fashion-production and how their sustainability practice fluctuates depending on information, guidance and practical support. The findings also identify preferences for sustainability, where sustainable concepts are perceived as adding value. Research limitations/implications Limitations are assumed through the small focussed sample, however, the research does provide rich insight into micro-analytic idiographic lifeworlds to better understand how everyday deliberations of household management and sustainability concepts are practiced. Practical implications The findings illustrate pathways for retailers, producers and policymakers to guide sustainability and support sustainability through the use of labels and marketing which will enhance notions of value. Similarly, the findings can enable policymakers to position campaigns and practical solutions that advance the sustainability agenda. Social implications The research indicates that sustainability is filtering through society and drawing the attention of a broader consumer market, including passive mainstream consumers who are developing expectations that mainstream fashion-retailers address sustainability. Originality/value The research is novel in adopting a phenomenological approach that provides a unique insight into how sustainability is experienced in everyday households, through the adaptation of related behaviours and evaluating sustainability concepts.

“A methodological assessment of the importance of physical values in architectural conservation using Shannon entropy method”

This paper investigates the typology of physical values in terms of architectural heritage conservation. In all scientific research on architectural heritage, one or more physical architectural values have been addressed as effective values in the conservation process. Considering the fact that architectural values play different roles in monuments, conservation measures are often prioritized based on the importance of values due to limitations and lack of sufficient resources. After identifying the values of the architectural heritage, relevant authorities and professionals can have an accurate understanding of what they want to lose or gain. This paper aims to identify all effective architectural values in the physical conservation process and to determine the importance of each value based on published literature. To find out the significance level of architectural values, this study implements the Shannon entropy weighting method, which is considered as part of a multiple decision-making process. The weight obtained by the entropy method indicates the amount of uncertainty in a continuous probability distribution. A total of 34 architectural values was identified by examining 188 papers. The snowball sampling method was used to select papers. As a conclusion, architectural values were classified based on Shannon weighting and their degrees of certainty on physical conservation. The highest and lowest certainty belonged to the values of building material and light, respectively, in the physical conservation.

Typology of value adding FM and CREM interventions

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present an empirical-based typology of facilities management (FM) and corporate real estate management (CREM) interventions that can add value to the core business of organisations and possibly the wider society. The typology is explained, elaborated and discussed with the aim to reach a deeper understanding of value adding management in the context of FM and CREM.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on FM and CREM literature, a survey with 15 expert interviews from six different European countries and cases with examples of interventions from earlier research.FindingsThe typology consists of six types of interventions, some mainly product-related, some mainly process-related and some that can be both. Each type is underpinned by examples from a case company and from interviews.Research limitations/implicationsThe number of interviews is limited. The typology with related interventions is not necessarily complete. However, the typology is regarded to include the most important interventions in the current state of practice of FM and CREM.Practical implicationsThe typology provides an overview of the different ways FM and CREM can add value. The cases and examples can be used as inspiration for developing specific interventions in practice.Originality/valueThe typology is the first to provide a classification of FM and CREM interventions. By integrating findings from interviews and case studies, this typology contributes to a better understanding and practicing of value adding management.

News values and feminisms: a campaign for gender equality in Irish higher education

Desde por lo menos 2014, una campaña feminista está desafiando la desigualdad de género en las universidades irlandesas. Siete demandas judiciales empezadas por profesoras contra la National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway) incluyeron, con éxito, el tema en la agenda pública y culminaron en la transformación de las políticas nacionales para la enseñanza superior. Este artículo considera los valores notícia movilizados para relatar la campaña. El objetivo es investigar como las historias fueron seleccionadas y enmarcadas por la media hegemónica. Las noticias fueron recolectadas con palabras clave que eran los nombres de las litigantes en los archivos digitales de los dos más grandes diarios irlandeses (Irish Independent e Irish Times), también de un semanario local (Connacht Tribune). La muestra de 111 publicaciones se analizó con base en la tipología de valores noticia desarrollada por Gislaine Silva. Los resultados indican que los valores noticia con más incidencia fueron conflicto, colectividad y celebridad, desvelando que la realización de eventos mediáticos es crucial para romper la exclusión o condena de la agenda feminista en los discursos periodísticos. La pesquisa empírica ofrece un terreno fértil para reflexionar sobre la representación mediática de los feminismos contemporáneos, además de pensar la política de la memoria relativa al movimiento sufragista.

Źródła wartości dla pokolenia X w usługach opartych na współdzieleniu

Usługi oparte na współdzieleniu to jedna z najdynamiczniej rozwijających się gałęzi współczesnych usług. Rozwiązania takie jak Airbnb czy Uber często służą klientom nie tylko jako substytut tradycyjnych usług, lecz stają się ich pierwszym wyborem w przypadku podróży, przejazdów czy poszukiwania pracowników. W artykule przeanalizowano źródła wartości, jakie klienci należący do pokolenia X widzą w usługach opartych na współdzieleniu. Celem badawczym artykułu było zatem określenie, które źródła wartości usług opartych na współdzieleniu wpływają na ich postrzeganie. Źródła skategoryzowano na podstawie typologii wartości Shetha, Newmana i Gross. Badania wykazały, że wśród źródeł wartości usług opartych na współdzieleniu dla pokolenia X dominują aspekty funkcjonalne. Badanie uwypukliło także istotność źródeł wartości sytuacyjnej z jednoczesnym pominięciem źródeł wartości społecznej i emocjonalnej. Wyniki badań uzupełniają lukę badawczą w tematyce poświęconej źródłom wartości dla pokolenia X w usługach opartych na współdzieleniu, wskazując ich dominującą kategorię. W dalszych badaniach nad tym zagadnieniem wartościowe będzie poddanie generacji X analizie z wykorzystaniem innego modelu teoretycznego i porównanie jej z innymi pokoleniami.

ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ТИПЫ И ЦЕННОСТНЫЕ ОРИЕНТАЦИИ ЛИЧНОСТИ

The basic method is applied to the study of the typology of personal values. A basis is a complete, ordered, measurable set of elements. In our case, the elements are personality types. Completeness is determined by a factorial dichotomous typological set. Orderliness is determined by a single dichotomous multi-dimensional basic word structure of a set of types (a single dichotomous multi-dimensional-typological basis or «word basis»). The measurability of types is associated with a single dichotomous numerical multidimensional basic evaluation symmetric scale or with a «numerical basis». Completeness is related to the traditional dichotomous factor analysis of typological information (it resembles the factor strategy of Kettell in his typology of personality qualities). Orderliness sets a dichotomous basic multidimensionality in verbal typological information. Measurability makes it possible to create basic multidimensional methods based on a dichotomous symmetric numerical scale estimation of types. Multidimensional measuring typological basis of personality is a combination of several one-dimensional measuring typological bases with a single personal dichotomy «social-individual». In typology of information about the values of the personality is possible to allocate three levels of consistency. The first level of consistency corresponds to the traditional chaotic-eclectic dichotomous factor representation of information about personal values. The second level of consistency corresponds to functional structural coherence in the verbal dichotomous multidimensional basic regulation of the types of values of the individual. The third level of consistency corresponds to the project-dimensional dichotomous multidimensional basic implementation of the estimated-numerical measurement of the types of values of the individual. This research strategy is related to all three levels of systemicity, it is the basis of our dichotomous factor multidimensional base measurement typological concept, and it defines the strategy and stages of this research. In this article, the typology of personal values is checked for «basicity». For this purpose, based on the principle of semantic proximity, one-to-one correspondence («typological isomorphism») is established between the typology of personal values and professional personality types according to D. Holland. The article uses the method of «basic superimposition» of these two typologies, which provides a semantic community of these two typologies and generates such a psychological concept as «professional values».

Prioritizing public values in e-government policies: A document analysis

This article investigates which public values are prioritized in e-government policies, what the connection is to governance approaches and how the public value prioritization can be explained. Strategic horizontal e-government policy documents are analysed from 2000 to 2018 in Belgium, the United Kingdom and the European Union. A public value typology is developed which connects three-ideal type governance approaches: (1) hierarchy, (2) market and (3) network. The results show that market related public values often play a dominant role in e-government policy documents, but so do – to a lesser degree – network related public values. Hierarchy related public values are seldom dominant. At the national level, four factors explain the prioritization: The attention for a specific governance approach at a given time, the influence of politics, the specific topic of the e-government policy document and the role of authors. Power distribution at the EU level plays a key role in defining the public values balance. This articles contributes to the knowledge on public values in e-government policies, the wider discussion on governance approaches in public administration and the need to understand the relation between public values and public value creation.

Aksjologia a chińskie tradycyjne imiona kobiet

Artykuł omawia grupę tradycyjnych chińskich imion żeńskich zawierających leksemy wskazujące na moralne, psychiczne i behawioralne cechy kobiet. Wspomniane cechy są podobne do wartości ludzkich wyróżnionych przez filozofów i psychologów w dziedzinie aksjologii, czyli teorii wartości. Typologia wartości opracowana przez Miltona Rokeacha w 1973 r. służy jako rama dla prowadzonych badań. Materiał badawczy zawiera 1050 leksemów obecnych w 2931 standardowych imionach własnych chińskich kobiet. Leksemy oznaczające wartości kobiece stanowią 27% wszystkich analizowanych leksemów, a występują w 1600 imionach. Nazwy własne oznaczające wartości ujawniają w pewnym stopniu system wartości preferowanych w tradycyjnych Chinach i wydają się istotne dla dalszych badań w dziedzinie aksjologii.

Social Value as a Mechanism for Linking Public Administrators with Society: Identifying the Meaning, Forms and Process of Social Value Creation

ABSTRACT Despite public/private/third sector organisations creating and demonstrating the social value of their interventions, they face challenges in understanding and executing the process of social value creation, due to both the lack of definition and theoretically embedded explanatory models of social value. This article seeks to fill this gap by defining social value and identifying the process involved in social value creation from a Weberian standpoint of social action, class and power. Nine resource capitals were identified that contribute to the creation of social value in society: social, ethical, cultural, human/intellectual, physical, economic/financial, environmental/natural, religious, and political. The research utilises Q-methodology to develop a typology of social value and semi-structured interviews to understand the process of social value creation. The results reveal four-types of social value: action-driven, outcomes-driven, sustainability-driven and pluralism-driven, which can be derived through individual/collaborative and resource capitals-driven processes. An integrated framework for social value creation, embedded within a Weberian theoretical framework, is presented to assist policy-makers to commission social value, and public/private/third sector organisations to deliver social value.

Values of cancer survivors and the supportive role of recreational video games.

Value-affirming activities have been linked to positive health outcomes and improved ability to cope. For cancer survivors who regularly play video games, might the games have potential to affirm values? We surveyed gameplaying survivors and included an open-ended question asking about values and the extent to which they perceived gameplaying as supporting values. A content analysis of responses (N = 533) using Schwartz's value typology revealed that a majority perceived gameplaying as supporting values or offering other benefits. Self-transcendence followed by openness to change were the most frequently coded higher-order categories. The results contribute to a richer understanding of survivors who gameplay.

An update on customer value: state of the art, revised typology, and research agenda

PurposeThe context of marketing and service research is rapidly changing as a result of advances in academic research and business practice. This has implications for our understanding of customer value. The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on customer value given today’s context (including recent advances such as technologies, human contact, collaborative consumption, service ecosystems and transformative service research); to revise Holbrook’s value typology; and to propose a research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses a conceptual approach that is rooted in the service and marketing literature.FindingsThe contribution of this paper is threefold. First, this paper presents an evolved view on customer value which accounts for recent advances in academic research and business practice. Second, this paper updates Holbrook’s value typology by revising existing value types as well as identifying additional value types; and offers guidelines for measuring and modeling customer value. Third, this paper proposes a research agenda to guide and stimulate future value research.Originality/valueThis paper provides an update on customer value, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in service and marketing research. This updated perspective has been approved and applauded by Morris B. Holbrook, one of the founding fathers of value research.
