Personal Meaningfulness of Alternative Analytical Substrates

Determine whether analytical substrates other than Schwartz’s human values, such as emotionality or affect, produce profiles that are as personally meaningful to participants as demonstrated-value profiles.

Background

Value Faces uses Schwartz’s ten-value framework as a shared and quantifiable vocabulary for comparing how people express priorities across relationships. The discussion notes that the framework could be replaced or complemented by other analytical substrates, including emotionality or affect, but does not establish whether those alternatives would support equally meaningful reflection for users.
