Value based behaviour suggests more cognitive control over one's actions
Traits are enduring dispositions, both positive and negative.
Values are enduring goals, primarily positive.
People refer to values when justifying behaviour as legitimate. Values serve as standards for judging others' (and own) behaviour. (Roccas S, Sagive, LSSH, Knife A, 22002. The five big personality factors and personal values. Pers Soc Psych Bull 28: 879-801)
Values are a group level phenomenon requiring shared agreement ... which are measured as an individual level construct. People acting in accordance with values do not feel pushed as they do when acting under normative pressure.
Values give meaning to action "enduring beliefs that a specific mode of conduct is personally or socially preferable to an opposite mode of conduct". Rokeach M 1973, The Nature of Human Values, NY, Free Press.
Contemporary psychology treats value as a noun. Less attention is paid to valuing as a process. (valuing as a verb). key finding. explore
Look up sociological pragmatist theory.
Williams 1979. "Values are cognitive structures that provide information that gets coupled to emotion and leads to action"
