The study aimed at exploring the relationship between basic human values and sense of community (SOC). Specifically, it aimed at identifying which types of values exert an impact, whether these values are consistent with SOC as a resource and responsibility (SOC‐R), and whether the values‐SOC/SOC‐R relations change according to some community characteristics (i.e., stability and cohesion). The 1,334 participants in the survey were based in different local communities and completed a self‐report questionnaire containing measures of values, SOC, SOC‐R, perceived community cohesion, and stability. Results revealed a consistent pattern of values‐SOC/SOC‐R relations that support each of the respective theories and confirmed that SOC and SOC‐R are two separate constructs. Values sustaining SOC/SOC‐R (i.e., self‐transcendence and conservation) were also shown to increase SOC/SOC‐R when communities were perceived as low in stability and cohesion. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

基本的人类价值观和社区意识作为资源和责任

该研究旨在探索基本人类价值观与社区意识（SOC）之间的关系。具体而言，它旨在确定哪些类型的价值观会产生影响，这些价值观是否与作为资源和责任的SOC（SOC-R）相一致以及价值观-SOC / SOC-R关系是否根据某些社区特征而发生了变化（即稳定性和凝聚力）。该调查的1,334名参与者分别来自不同的地方社区，并完成了一份自我报告调查表，其中包含价值，SOC，SOC-R，感知的社区凝聚力和稳定性的度量。结果表明，值-SOC / SOC-R关系的一致模式支持每种相应的理论，并证实SOC和SOC-R是两个单独的结构。维持SOC / SOC‐R的价值（即，当人们认为社区的稳定性和凝聚力较低时，自我超越和保守也能增加SOC / SOC-R。最后，讨论了研究的意义和局限性。
