Webinar Description:

In the presentation, I’ll discuss the role of values in the decision-making process. According to Shalom Schwartz, a social psychologist and creator of Theory of Basic Human Values, values are desirable, trans-situational goals that vary in importance and serve as guiding principles in people lives. He also postulated the ten distinct, broad and basic values that arise from essential conditions necessary for human survival as biological organisms and social beings.  I’ll introduce them and discuss in detail.  I’ll also show that values linking with meaning motivate our decisions and guide our actions. This link is created by experienced emotions. The stronger our emotions, the more meaningful our lives are. Our decisions can be understood as successful solutions to a conflict between opposing values.  The higher priority values win this conflict and become the motivating factors for our choices and decisions.
