| Abstract Text | Values are relatively stable in adults, but less so in children. However, within a single time period, individuals should be consistent (i.e., not vary greatly) in their value choices. That is, a value that is more important than other values should be consistently preferred, regardless of which other values there are to choose from. To examine value consistency, we administered an animated BWS values instrument to children (5-12) in Australia (N=829) and Poland (N=555). This instrument asks respondents to choose the value-items they most (and least) like from 21 sets of 5 value-items. Over 70% of children were very consistent in the choice of value they like most (chosen at least 4 of the 5 times it appeared) and approximately 80% of children were very consistent in the choice of value they like least. We found that younger children exhibited less consistency. |
