Projects Overview (Explanations) Human Values Project (Explanations) Figure 1 and Figure 2 list the value words (given with their database identifying number) having the greatest number of cross-references to distinct value polarities (Section VP) listed in Figure 3. Such cross-references correspond to distinct connotations of a given word. The value words with the largest number of distinct connotations (listed first in each table) could be considered as indicative of the value concepts which are most fundamental (for English speakers). Value concepts could also be identifieds with the polarities as value dimensions. See commentary. These words are used as a basis for relating values to world problems (destructive values) and organizational strategies (constructive values) in the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential  Figure 1.
