The Picture-Based Value Survey for Children (PBVS-C; Doring et al., 2010) assesses children’s values through self-report and thereby depicts Schwartz’s theory of universal human values at an early age (approximately six to eleven years). Recently, the original German version has been adapted for application in Poland, Bulgaria, the Ukraine, France, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Brazil, Turkey, Israel, and Estonia, and it is currently adapted for application in Ireland, Russia, and Portugal. In this manuscript, we accompany the PBVS-C on its journey around the world and systematically explore culture-specifics in the adaptation process with a particular focus on the meaning of the value pictures, as the PBVS-C’s core elements. Integrating findings from these adaptations of the PBVS-C, we aim to share best practice and draw a roadmap for future adaptations in other cultures. This article further serves as a resource to locate existing studies with the PBVS-C.

衡量世界各地儿童的价值观：基于图片的儿童价值调查 (PBVS-C) 的跨文化适应性

基于图片的儿童价值调查（PBVS-C；Doring 等人，2010 年）通过自我报告评估儿童的价值观，从而描述了施瓦茨在幼年（大约 6 到 11 岁）的普遍人类价值观理论。近期，德文原版已适配波兰、保加利亚、乌克兰、法国、意大利、瑞士、英国、新西兰、澳大利亚、美国、巴西、土耳其、以色列、爱沙尼亚等国家，目前正在适配中适用于爱尔兰、俄罗斯和葡萄牙。在这份手稿中，我们伴随着 PBVS-C 的世界之旅，并系统地探索了适应过程中的文化特性，特别关注作为 PBVS-C 核心元素的价值图片的含义。整合 PBVS-C 的这些改编的结果，我们的目标是分享最佳实践，并为未来适应其他文化制定路线图。本文进一步作为资源定位现有研究与 PBVS-C。
