The circular structure of values has been verified mostly at a between-person level and on measures of general value preferences. In this manuscript, we argue that it is a simplification that neglected significant aspects of the value structures and distinguish four different types of structures: (a) between-person structure of value traits, (b) within-person structure of value traits, (c) between-person structure of value states, and (d) within-person structure of value states. We argue that the within-person structure of value states addresses the circular structure of values most accurately.

价值特征和价值状态的人际和人内结构：四种不同的结构，四种不同的解释

价值的循环结构主要在人与人之间的层面和一般价值偏好的衡量标准上得到验证。在这篇手稿中，我们认为这是一种简化，忽略了价值结构的重要方面，并区分了四种不同类型的结构：（a）价值特征的人际结构，（b）价值特征的人内结构，（ c) 价值状态的人际结构，和 (d) 价值状态的人内结构。我们认为，价值状态的个人内部结构最准确地解决了价值的循环结构。
