FACTORS INFLUENCING VALUE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT

VALUES FORMATION – is a concept from spiritual impression and it involves a concern for
personal wholeness.

According to the IDEALISTIC Group

They believed that there are unchanging and universal values (Transcendent Values)

According to RELATIVIST GROUP

They are no universal values. Values depend on time and place.

VALUES CAN BE CAUGHT

 THREE DIMENSIONS OF VALUES

1. Cognitive Dimension – We must understand the value that we want to acquire.
2. Affective Dimension- “It is not enough to know what is honesty or why should we be honest.
One has to feel something towards honesty, be moved towards honesty as preferable to
dishonesty” -(Aquino, 1990)
3. Behavioral Dimension – living by the value is the true acid test if we really value a value like
honesty.

VALUES CAN BE TAUGHT

 Value formation is a training on the intellectual and will.

INTELLECTUAL

THE VALUES AND THE PERSON

PERSONAL VALUES -are those standards that you set for yourself to live by.
Values are obtained in many different ways.

According to Morris Massey values are formed during three significant periods.

1. IMPRINT PERIOD FROM BIRTH TO 7 YEARS

Are like sponges, absorbing everything around us and accepting much of it as true, especially
when it comes from parents.
The confusion and blind belief of this period can also lead to the early formation of trauma
and other deep problems. The critical thing here is to learn a sense of right and wrong, good
and bad.

2. MODELING PERIOD FROM 8-13 YEARS

We copy people, often our parents, but also other people. Rather than blind acceptance, we
are trying on things like suit of clothes, to see how they feel. We may be much impressed
with religion or our teachers.
You may remember being particularly influenced by junior school teachers who seemed so
knowledgeable – maybe even more so than your parents.

3. SOCIALIZATION PERIOD FROM 13-21 YEARS

Are very largely influenced by our peers. As we develop as individuals and look for ways to
get away from the earlier programming, we naturally turn to people who seem more like us.
Other influences at these ages include the media, especially those parts which seem to
resonate with our values of our peer groups.
