Episode notes
Relationship Between Personality, Values, Motives
- Personality traits, values, motives, and self-concept relate but differ: traits are stable, values somewhat stable, self-concept more malleable.
- Values and motives reflect intentional behaviors, while traits reflect natural tendencies.
Traits Versus Values in Behavior
- Openness and agreeableness traits strongly relate to corresponding values; other traits like extroversion relate less.
- Values predict what we do; traits predict how we do it (style).
Achievement Values Empower Students
- Achievement values helped students with low conscientiousness achieve similar grades as highly conscientious peers.
- This shows parental teaching of values can positively impact children's academic motivation and results.
