摘要

Shalom Hillel Schwartz is one of the most prominent interculturalists in the field of comparative cultural psychology and values research. According to Schwartz, culture is constituted by its underlying values, making it essential to study them. Using a cross-cultural methodology, he compares several countries and identifies ten types of values in his Theory of Basic Human Values, specifying their dynamic relationships. Schwartz’s theories of individual and cultural value orientations—Theory of Cultural Value Orientations—allow for the simultaneous consideration of two levels, providing a more comprehensive understanding of culture and behavior in different societies. Schwartz is a member of the editorial boards of several international journals. His extensive research and work are shaping today’s cross-cultural research and raising awareness of culture and values.
