This is a questionnaire about your values and behaviors when interacting with others. We would like to ask you about your values and behaviors when interacting with people in four different types of relationships: (1) Your Family; (2) Close Friends; (3) Colleagues; and (4) Strangers. For the purposes of this questionnaire, we define each of these relationships as follows: YOUR FAMILY:
By "family," we mean only the core, nuclear
family that was present during your growing years, such as your
mother, father, and any brothers or sisters. Do not consider other
relatives such as aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc., as your
"family" here unless they actually lived with you while you
were growing up. CLOSE
FRIENDS: By "close friends," we mean those
individuals whom you consider "close;" i.e., with whom you
spend a lot of time and/or have known for a long time.
Do not consider people who are "just" acquaintances,
colleagues, or others whom you would not consider as your close
friends. Also, do not
consider intimate partners (e.g., boyfriend, girlfriend) here, either. COLLEAGUES:
By "colleagues," we mean those people with
whom you interact on a regular basis, but with whom you may not be
particularly close (for example, people at work, school, or a social
group). Do not consider
close friends on the one hand, or total strangers on the other.
STRANGERS:
By "strangers," we mean those people
with whom you do not interact on a regular basis, and whom you do not
know (i.e., total strangers such as people in the subway, on the
street, at public events, etc.).
Do not consider friends, acquaintances, or family.
You can refer to this list as many times as
you want when completing your ratings. We
know that your values and behaviors may differ within each of these groups, depending on with whom you are
interacting. Try not to be
too concerned with specific individuals, but rather, try to respond to
what you believe about each of these groups as general categories of
social relationships. Also,
don�t be concerned at all about how your responses compare to each
other. There is no right or
wrong, good or bad. Don't worry about whether your responses are
consistent. Just tell us
how you truly feel about each group on its own merits.
In this section, tell us about the values you have when interacting with people in the four relationship groups. Values are concepts or beliefs about desirable end states or behaviors that guide our selection of behaviors and evaluation of events. Use the following rating scale to tell us how important each of the following is as a value to you. Write the appropriate number in the space provided for each of the four social groups: Not at All Important Very Important
