Jeffery D Whippo Explains the Role That Values
Play in a Persons Overall Psychological Makeup

• A leader in the Educational Psychology community,
  Dr. Jeffery D Whippo feels that values play a
  very critical role in a persons overall
  psychological makeup and are learned through the
  socialization process.
• He strongly insists that over time, values become
  internalized by the individual and become an
  integral component of the self.
• He explains that values are simply a person's
  principles, standards of behavior, or one's
  judgment of what is important in life.

Values Held by an Individual Affect Their
Decisions, Commitments, Working Relationships,
Says Whippo

• In Jeffery D Whippos opinion, values held by
  individuals affect many decisions, commitments
  and working relationships within organizations.
• He believes that due to the fact that values
  become learned and internalized through the
  socialization process, there are several factors
  that influence both individual and collective
  beliefs and values.
• These include - Culture, the Media, Environment,
  Gender, Religion and Spirituality, and Family.

Other Influences That Lead To the Development of
Values

• According to Jeff Whippo, these influences, along
  with many others play a huge role in the
  development of values within our specific culture
  in the developed and industrialized world in
  which we live in.
• He feels that one must remember that what are
  considered to be dominant or major influences in
  the society that we live in are not necessarily
  the same influences in other societies.
• He also indicates that there are additional major
  influences in a developed and industrialized
  society which may include education institutions,
  music, major historical events, and technology.
