The goal of the current research is to better understand one aspect of this broad question, concerning with the personal values of prosocial individuals. Previous research found that self-transcendence values (i.e. benevolence and universalism) can predict prosocial behavior (Bardi & Schwartz, 2003); however, the correlations were rather weak, especially for benevolence.

It is possible that the effect of values on behaviors is stronger than previously found, but only for individuals who implicitly believe in the stability of values.
