Description
Research acknowledges the psychological benefits of valued living. Since values are verbal behaviors, Relational Frame Theory, a behavior analytic perspective on verbal events (Hayes, 1994), may offer valid analyses of their implications. This study’s purpose was to demonstrate the transformations of values functions and determine the relevance of relational responding in valued living. The protocol employed a valued living self-report questionnaire, a values-oriented expressive writing exercise, and performance on a values-related relational response computer task. Results suggested that participants derived relationships between values stimuli and arbitrary stimuli, and functions were transformed in arbitrary stimuli concordant with values stimuli.
