“…Personal values are broad motivational goals, reflecting what a person judges to be worthy and desirable (e.g., Schwartz, 1992). Personal values correlate with important social variables such as political attitudes and orientations (Boer & Fischer, 2013; Caprara et al, 2017), cooperation (Sagiv et al, 2011), and health behaviors (Nieh et al, 2018; Piko, 2005). As a result, values have far-reaching consequences for social functioning across domains.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had immense impact on people’s lives, potentially leading individuals to reevaluate what they prioritize in life (i.e., their values). We report longitudinal data from Australians 3 years prior to the pandemic, at pandemic onset (April 2020, N = 2,321), and in November–December 2020 ( n = 1,442). While all higher order values were stable prior to the pandemic, conservation values, emphasizing order and stability, became more important during the pandemic. In contrast, openness to change values, emphasizing self-direction and stimulation, showed a decrease during the pandemic, which was reversed in late 2020. Self-transcendence values, emphasizing care for close others, society, and nature, decreased by late 2020. These changes were amplified among individuals worrying about the pandemic. The results support psychological theory of values as usually stable, but also an adaptive system that responds to significant changes in environmental conditions. They also test a new mechanism for value change, worry.

“…The value of being "broad-based" is then inversely proportional to general health behaviour and direct risk. In this context, there is an interesting finding that adolescents who value health and academics are less likely to abstain from cigarettes and alcohol, but conversely, those who place a higher value on the value of friendship are significantly more likely to abstain (Nieh et al 2018). Values of hedonic satis-116 faction are more likely to be associated with favourable attitudes toward smoking, whereas values of idealism are associated with unfavourable attitudes toward smoking (Chang 2005).…”

The interdisciplinary team in the Department of Christian Social Work of the Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology at Palacký University in Olomouc was the head of the entire research and its implementation in the Czech Republic.The present book focuses on a specific part of a broad research issue in the Czech environment. In addition to the socio-demographic analysis of attitudes towards the abuse of the aforementioned four groups of addictive substances, the outcomes of the analysis of the original results of the measurement of reflections on the threat of these substances in four areas that are crucial for the social functioning of each user are presented. The first of these areas is naturally health and the possible health risks associated with substance abuse. The second is the economic risks associated with substance abuse. The third is the level of social relationships, status, and ties in the local community and society, and the fourth is the threat of substance abuse in the area of family and family relationships. The perceived threat in these four dimensions is analysed in relation to the value preferences of the respondents.The authors of this book have attempted to approach the issue of addiction across disciplines in such a way that the relationship between the perceived threat of substance abuse and value preferences in contemporary society can be shown from the data. Value preferences are the key to selecting appropriate methods of social prevention and intervention when addiction occurs only at the stage of recognised threat. The book, without its interpretive level aspiring to describe clinical methods of dealing with addiction, provides a broader context of addiction issues and their reception than is usual in similar publications. The authors have not only devoted their efforts to mapping the situation but also offer suggestions for forms of prevention and intervention by social work and social pedagogy for groups at risk. In doing so, they distinguish between different groups of addictive substances that affect social functioning and value preferences in different ways.

In the present research, we investigate whether cultural value orientations (CVOs) and aggregate personality traits (Big-5) predict actual levels of alcohol consumption, smoking, and obesity across 50 countries using averages derived from millions of data points. Aggregate traits explained variance above and beyond CVOs in obesity (particularly neuroticism and extraversion), while CVOs explained variance beyond aggregate traits in alcohol consumption (particularly harmony and hierarchy). Smoking was not linked to aggregated traits or CVOs. We conclude that an understanding of the cultural correlates of risky health behaviors may help inform important policies and interventions for meeting international sustainable development goals.
