DESCRIPTION:Values are assumed to be stable during adulthood. Yet\, little
  research exists on value stability and change. The presented research use
 s the Schwartz Value Theory (1992) to study four questions regarding value
  change.\nFirst\, what is the structure of value change? Four longitudinal
  studies using samples from different countries\, different populations\, 
 different\nlanguages\, different time gaps\, and different value measures 
 show that the structure of value change is organized by the same conflicts
  and compatibilities of values. That is\, conflicting values change in opp
 osite\ndirections and compatible values change in the same direction. Seco
 nd\, when do values change? I'll show that values tend to change more the 
 more life changing events have occurred\, probably as part of adjusting to
  new life situations. In addition\, I'll show a slight tendency for greate
 r value change to occur in younger adults compared with older adults. Thir
 d\, which values tend to change and what are the effects of such changes o
 n well being? As Schwartz & Bardi (1997) proposed\, I'll show that values 
 that are more adaptive in the new life situation become more important\, w
 hereas values that are less adaptive in the new life situation become less
  important. Moreover\, increase in the importance of adaptive values is ac
 companied by an increase in well-being\, but only on the long run. Togethe
 r\, the research demonstrates that although values are largely stable\,\nt
 he little change that occurs in them is systematic and meaningful.\n
