Question 16

Describe the work of Milton Rokeach and Donald Super on the measurement of values.

Accepted Answer

Milton Rokeach was a psychologist who is best known for his work on the measurement of values. He developed a theory of human values and created the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS), which is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure individual values. Rokeach believed that values are organized in a hierarchical manner, with some values being of higher importance than others. The RVS presents participants with a list of 18 terminal values (end states such as happiness, wisdom, and salvation) and 18 instrumental values (modes of behavior such as honesty, responsibility, and ambition) and asks them to rank these values in order of importance.

Donald Super, on the other hand, was a psychologist who is best known for his work on career development. He developed the Life-Span/Life-Space theory of career development, which emphasizes the importance of individual values in career decision-making. Super believed that individuals seek career satisfaction by expressing their own values in their work. He also developed the Career Development Inventory (CDI), which is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure an individual's career development and the influence of their values on their career choices.

Both Rokeach and Super contributed significantly to the measurement of values, with Rokeach focusing on general human values and Super focusing on the influence of values on career development. Their work has provided valuable insight into the role of values in shaping individual attitudes and behaviors.
