Abstract

Values have long been considered important for psychology but are frequently characterized as beliefs, goals, rules, or norms. Ecological values theory locates them, not in people or in objects, but in ecosystem relationships and the demands those relationships place on fields of action within the system. To test the worth of this approach, we consider skilled coordination tasks in social psychology (e.g., negotiating disagreements, synchrony and asynchrony in interactions, and selectivity in social learning) and perception-action (e.g., driving vehicles and carrying a child). Evidence suggests that a diverse array of values (e.g., truth, social solidarity, justice, flexibility, safety, and comfort) work in a cooperative tension to guide actions. Values emerge as critical constraints on action that differ from goals, rules, and natural laws, and yet provide the larger context in which these can function effectively. Prospects and challenges for understanding values and their role in action, including theoretical and methodological issues, are considered.

生态价值理论:超越行动与互动中的从众、目标追求与规则遵循
价值观长期以来被认为对心理学很重要,但通常被描述为信念、目标、规则或规范。生态价值理论不是把它们放在人或物上,而是放在生态系统关系和这些关系对系统内行动领域的要求上。为了测试这种方法的价值,我们考虑了社会心理学中的熟练协调任务(例如,协商分歧,互动中的同步和异步,以及社会学习中的选择性)和感知-行动(例如,驾驶车辆和带孩子)。有证据表明,各种各样的价值观(例如,真理、社会团结、正义、灵活性、安全和舒适)在一种合作的紧张关系中起作用,指导人们的行动。价值观是对行动的关键约束,不同于目标、规则和自然法则,但却提供了更大的背景,使它们能够有效地发挥作用。考虑了理解价值观及其在行动中的作用的前景和挑战,包括理论和方法问题。

期刊介绍: Review of General Psychology seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole. Review of General Psychology is especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between subdisciplines in psychology as well as related fields or that focus on topics that transcend traditional subdisciplinary boundaries.
