Personal values are motivational sources for an individual's actions [Hitlin and Piliavin (Annual Review of Sociology 30:359-393, 2004)]. Genetic counselors' values may influence their behaviors in clinical practice, but a profile of their personal values has not been identified empirically. In this study, 292 genetic counselors completed the Schwartz Universal Values Questionnaire (SUVQ; Schwartz, S. H. (1992). Universals in the content and structure of values: Theoretical advances and empirical tests in 20 countries. In M. Zanna (Ed.), Advances in experimental social psychology (pp. 1-65). Boston, MA: Academic.), a widely used measure of value types, and provided information about their demographic characteristics. Results indicate that respondents highly valued benevolence, self-direction, achievement, and universalism indicating a strong pattern of concern for the welfare of others. They placed considerably less value on stimulation, tradition, and power, which reflect personal interests. Respondents who reported practicing a religion scored significantly lower on stimulation and hedonism and higher on tradition and spirituality than those not practicing; married respondents and parents scored significantly lower on stimulation and achievement; and males scored higher on power than females. The value types are described, and training and research recommendations are provided.
个人价值观是个体行为的动机来源[希特林和皮利亚文（《社会学年度评论》30：359 - 393，2004年）]。遗传咨询师的价值观可能会影响他们在临床实践中的行为，但尚未通过实证确定他们个人价值观的概况。在本研究中，292名遗传咨询师完成了施瓦茨通用价值观问卷（SUVQ；施瓦茨，S.H.（1992年）。价值观内容和结构的普遍性：20个国家的理论进展和实证检验。载于M.赞纳（编），《实验社会心理学进展》（第1 - 65页）。马萨诸塞州波士顿：学术出版社），这是一种广泛使用的价值类型测量工具，并提供了他们的人口统计学特征信息。结果表明，受访者高度重视仁爱、自我导向、成就和普遍主义，这表明他们对他人福祉的强烈关注模式。他们对反映个人兴趣的刺激、传统和权力的重视程度要低得多。报告有宗教信仰的受访者在刺激和享乐主义方面的得分显著低于无宗教信仰者，而在传统和灵性方面的得分则显著高于无宗教信仰者；已婚受访者和父母在刺激和成就方面的得分显著较低；男性在权力方面的得分高于女性。本文描述了价值类型，并提供了培训和研究建议。
