Personal profile
Personal profile
My research focuses primarily on the nature of core values (broad life goals like tolerance, self-direction, achievement), their development and change, and their relations to behaviours.
You can listen here (episode 54) to my interview about values research in the Personality Psychology Podcast, available also on podbean, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and TuneIn/Amazon.
For teachers, children, parents and the general public, check out our website with information on values, interactive activities to understand values, how they relate to behaviours and how they develop at school, as well as non-technical summaries of the VALISE project's findings (on value development in early school) with advice and implication for teachers and policy makers.
