The impact of personal values on preferences, choices, and behaviors has evoked much interest. Relatively little is known, however, about the processes through which values impact behavior. In this conceptual article, we consider both the content and the structural aspects of the relationships between values and behavior. We point to unique features of values that have implications to their relationships with behavior and build on these features to review past research. We then propose a conceptual model that presents three organizing principles: accessibility, interpretation, and control. For each principle, we identify mechanisms through which values and behavior are connected. Some of these mechanisms have been exemplified in past research and are reviewed; others call for future research. Integrating the knowledge on the multiple ways in which values impact behavior deepens our understanding of the complex ways through which cognition is translated into action.
个人价值观对偏好、选择和行为的影响引发了诸多关注。然而，对于价值观影响行为的过程，我们所知相对较少。在这篇概念性文章中，我们既考虑了价值观与行为关系的内容方面，也考虑了其结构方面。我们指出了价值观的独特特征，这些特征对其与行为的关系具有影响，并基于这些特征回顾以往的研究。然后，我们提出了一个概念模型，该模型呈现了三个组织原则：可及性、解释和控制。对于每个原则，我们确定了价值观与行为相联系的机制。其中一些机制在以往研究中已有例证并进行了回顾；其他机制则有待未来研究。整合关于价值观影响行为的多种方式的知识，加深了我们对认知转化为行动的复杂方式的理解。
