Exploring Reliability and Validity

The Values and Motives Questionnaire, also known as the Values and Motives Inventory, is designed to examine a person’s motivation in relation to his values and activities. In order to ensure a comprehensive understanding of values, the VMQ assess three distinct areas, including: interpersonal, intrinsic, and extrinsic. Interpersonal values, according to the VMQ refer to one’s relationships with others. Intrinsic values contain one’s personal beliefs and attitudes. Finally, extrinsic values are one’s motivating factors at the workplace. Each of these three areas contain twelve topics

What are values and how do they relate to the other terms identified in the introduction? An investigation from multiple sources agrees that values are the motivations and behaviors used to determine priorities of what one sees as important in life and work (MindTools.com, 2017; Atkins, 2017; Value, n.d.).

This semester’s projects, “Discovering My Theoretical Orientation” and developing my “Personal Theoretical Orientation” have help me understand that my values and beliefs best align with the Humanistic Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Reality Theory.

This gives the implication that values can differ from person to person, so it is therefore important to identify and understand one’s own values in order to work effectively in the field.

What do I consider my core personal values? A value can be defined as trait or attribute inherently desired. In essence, they are intangible qualities that are deemed worthy of possessing. Yet, I have never given much thought to identifying what my desirable qualities were as a person. I believe through my life I have I claimed or believed I had values which guided me, but I made these claims without consciously identifying these values. This seems rather problematic. Essentially what I am considering is this, that the set of positive standards that are to be used to guide or determine how I distinguish from right or wrong, the principles that help regulate my

I will start with the Values Survey, which consists of two types of values, terminal and instrumental, which I ranked from being most important to the least important values, between one through eighteen, which guide my personal and professional life. Instrumental values were the easiest to rank, since they seemed to fit with my core characteristics and character traits. My number one through six, when ranking, included the instrumental values honesty, sincerity, ambition, capability, loyalty, and loving. These values just to name a few, have stayed consistent throughout my personal life and carried through to my professional life. Instrumental values are who I am and what I learned growing up as a child. My behaviors have been influenced by these characteristics. Terminal values, however, have changed over time. These are values I can work towards and found ranking them much more difficult. At this time in my life, my first through sixth, when ranking the terminal values, are freedom, health, self-respect, inner harmony, family security, and wisdom. These values have changed as I got older. As I reached, for instance, a comfortable life, I was able to change my most important value with a sense of

Lastly, to address the affective domain, I chose to develop personal values for how I will conduct research. To complete this goal, I participated in class discussions, verbalizing my values and personal opinions on material presented in this class, as well as responding to peers. I feel that I have partially met this objective, as my personal values are not set in stone, but are being developed with ongoing exposure to research methodologies and strategies. Thus, a future goal is to continue to identify my personal values in regard to research, bearing in mind the value of ethics and morals.
