The minorities in Southwest China are characterized by a blend of diverse cultures. It is not clear how values predict behaviors in such a population. We applied Schwartz's refined value theory to assess the association between values and behaviors. Respondents ( = 532) reported values using the Portrait Values Questionnaire and rated their postulated behaviors with the Everyday Behavior Questionnaire. A confirmatory factor analysis validated the discriminant validity of 19 refined values. Multidimensional scaling analyses revealed a circular motivational structure with national characteristics. More importantly, the correlation analysis showed that 13 of 19 values correlated most strongly with its postulated or adjacent behaviors, which supported the cross-cultural prediction of behaviors by values. Variations differing from theoretical structure and the moderating of value-behavior relations by gender better reflected the effects of Chinese traditional culture, such as harmony, benevolence, and "the Golden Mean." The results of this study enrich the cross-cultural validity of the refined value theory among Chinese minorities and enhanced our understanding of the multiculturally influenced minority population.
中国西南部的少数民族具有多元文化融合的特点。目前尚不清楚价值观如何在这样的人群中预测行为。我们应用施瓦茨的精细价值理论来评估价值观与行为之间的关联。受访者（(n = 532)）使用《肖像价值问卷》报告价值观，并通过《日常行为问卷》对假定行为进行评分。验证性因素分析验证了19种精细价值观的区分效度。多维尺度分析揭示了具有民族特色的圆形动机结构。更重要的是，相关分析表明，19种价值观中有13种与其假定或相邻行为的相关性最强，这支持了价值观对行为的跨文化预测。与理论结构不同的差异以及性别对价值-行为关系的调节更好地反映了中国传统文化的影响，如和谐、仁爱和“中庸之道”。本研究结果丰富了精细价值理论在中国少数民族中的跨文化效度，并增进了我们对受多元文化影响的少数民族群体的理解。
