“…Empirical studies have applied the concept of relational value to analyse people's reactions to environmental projects and policies (Arias‐Arévalo et al, 2017; Baker et al, 2021; Chapman et al, 2019; Chapman, Satterfield, & Chan, 2020; Chapman, Satterfield, Wittman, et al, 2020; Riechers et al, 2020), understand environmental behaviour, decision making and social innovation (Sarkki et al, 2019; Shum et al, 2021; Topp et al, 2022) and study environmental values in non‐Western cultures (Bataille et al, 2021; Gould et al, 2019; Sheremata, 2018; Unks et al, 2021). The main interest in these studies was to explore the content of relational values.…”

Relational values have recently been proposed as a concept to expand our understanding of environmental values from the categories previously dominating the discourse: instrumental (nature for people's sake) and intrinsic values (nature for its own sake). Empirical and conceptual research on relational values has so far focused on the content of relational values or their relationship to other kinds of values. In this paper, we fill a key gap in understanding exactly what relational values are and how they work; we call this the 'syntax' of relational values. We do so by applying the Syntax of Environmental Values Framework, which describes relational values as bidirectional, expressed by genuine respect and care on the one hand and an eudaimonic contribution to wellbeing on the other. We developed a novel interview protocol which we applied in semistructured interviews with Swiss alpine farmers. We examine how both of these directions are manifested in farmers' relational values. Our results showed how the bidirectionality manifests in relational values of alpine farmers. Specifically, we identified three components of each directionality. The intrinsic element of relational values was constituted by: an attitude of respect, attention to the relationship and practices of care. The instrumental element of relational values was constituted by: emotional and experiential contributions for the valuer, satisfaction and joy in the relationship, and practical contributions to the activities associated with the relationship (e.g. farm management). We further elaborate on the conditions required to sustain relational values, including physical, emotional and sociopolitical conditions. These results informed an elaborated conceptual framework of relational values, and environmental valuing more generally. While specifically derived from our dataset, we believe our conclusions could directly or in a modified form, apply to diverse cases of relational valuing. In sum, this paper offers a concrete step towards better characterizing, distinguishing and applying the relational values concept.

“…Despite this, challenges remain: well-meaning managers might be confused about what stakeholder values are or how they could be integrated (Jackson 2006) or might be afraid of upsetting partners and so avoid action or become over-cautious (Meek et al 2015). At worst, managers might consider others' values irrelevant or unnecessary hurdles to species recovery, or ignore them completely (Fox et al 2006;Chapman et al 2020).…”

“…The process of identifying values, and not just interests and positions, is central to negotiation and decision‐making processes, such as Structured Decision Making (Failing et al., 2012). Indeed, when values are not given space to be voiced and heard, decision‐making and collaborative approaches can falter (Chapman, Satterfield, & Chan, 2020; Satterfield & Levin, 2007). These concepts remind us that the work of listening and even listening to values, must however be underpinned by a focus on relationships.…”
