“…This pattern provides a better understanding of the new concept of value fulfillment, as it suggests that value fulfillment is partly achieved when actual‐ideal and actual‐ought discrepancies are reduced. While researchers postulated that value fulfillment is associated with actual‐ought discrepancies, since value fulfillment is associated with participation in group activities (Oppenheim‐Weller & Kurman, 2017), the link to actual‐ideal discrepancies is new.…”

ObjectivesPostnatal depression is the most prevalent psychopathology experienced within the perinatal period and has been associated with a range of adverse outcomes for both mother and infant. In the present research, we combine two influential theories, Schwartz's theory of human values and Higgins' self‐discrepancy theory (SDT), to test new hypotheses about postnatal depression.MethodsWe recruited 80 first‐time mothers who had given birth within the last 6 months and who self‐reported experiencing low mood or postnatal depression. Participants anonymously completed measures of postnatal depression, value importance, self‐discrepancies, and subjective value fulfillment.ResultsContrary to our hypotheses, actual‐ought self‐discrepancies, but not actual‐ideal self‐discrepancies, predicted postnatal depression. Interestingly however, self‐discrepancies were negatively correlated with value fulfillment. The findings within this study diverge from the relation predicted within SDT and highlight how motherhood may represent a unique circumstance, in which the “ideal self” has evolved to become a self that one feels morally obligated to embody. Further exploratory analyses revealed that depression was predicted by the difference between value fulfillment and value importance in conservation values, but not by differences between value fulfillment and value importance regarding any of the other value types.DiscussionWe discuss potential impact on discourses around motherhood, alongside clinical implications for practitioners who work with mothers during the perinatal period.

“…We adapted the instructions and items from Oppenheim‐Weller et al (2018) as well as Oppenheim‐Weller and Kurman (2017) to measure daily value fulfillment for self‐direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, and conformity, including a brief definition for each value type (Schwartz, 1992, 1994). For example, hedonism was assessed using this item: “How much do you feel you have acted in accordance with the value of Hedonism during the day?…”

ObjectiveWe investigate for the first time in a 9‐day diary study whether fulfilling one’s values predicts well‐being or whether well‐being predicts value fulfillment over time.BackgroundThe empirical associations between the importance of human values to individuals and their well‐being are typically weak and inconsistent. More recently, value fulfillment (i.e., acting in line with one's values) has shown to be more strongly correlated with well‐being.MethodThe present research goes beyond past research by integrating work from clinical, personality, and social psychology to model associations between value fulfillment and positive and negative aspects of well‐being over time.ResultsAcross a nine‐day diary study involving 1434 observations (N = 184), we found that people who were able to fulfill their self‐direction values reported more positive well‐being on the next day, and those who fulfilled their hedonism values reported less negative well‐being on the next day. Conversely, people who reported more positive well‐being were more able to fulfill their achievement, stimulation, and self‐direction values on the next day, and those who reported more negative well‐being were less able to fulfill their achievement values. Importantly, these effects were consistent across three countries/regions (EU/UK, India, Türkiye), the importance people attributed to values, period of the week, and their prestudy well‐being.ConclusionThese results help to understand the fundamental interconnections between values and well‐being while also having relevance to clinical practice.

“…In other words, our theorizations implicate that putting relatively increased weight on work merely suggests the importance of work for individuals’ judgments of happiness and LS. However, the type of work that individuals perform and the direct experience and outcomes that work engenders can eventually confirm whether their work–life option is fulfilling and worthwhile (Oppenheim-Weller & Kurman, 2017). We thus expect that JC positively moderates the relationship between RCW and LS.…”

Relative centrality of work (RCW) is defined as the psychological importance given by individuals regarding work relative to the importance they attach to other major domains of living. Prior evidence has been inconclusive in terms of how RCW might influence the life satisfaction (LS) of individuals. Hence, in this study, we hypothesize that this relationship is regulated by an individual’s current job features (job complexity [JC]) and national culture concerning work (performance orientation [PO]) independently and jointly. On the basis of representative samples of 23,622 employees from 33 nations, we find that the RCW–LS relationship is negative when JC is low. By contrast, high JC eliminates but does not reverse this negative trend. This two-way interaction only exists when employees simultaneously live in a nation whose culture stresses performance improvements and achievement of rewards from work, that is, nations with high PO. Although an individual’s national–cultural context does not moderate the RCW–LS linkage, it functions by making work relative to other life domains (RCW) and job characteristics (high JC) highly important in deriving satisfaction from one’s life.
