Human Values Project (Explanations)
| Figure 4. Value types (Section VT) Clusters of value polarities. Cluster type names are only indicative. Clusters value polarities included in Figure 3 (with others omitted from it). 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. An analysis of the original data corresponding to each cell is presented in Figure 5 and Figure 6. |
