Excitement, novelty, and challenge in life.
Hedonism
Pleasure and sensuous gratification for oneself.
Achievement
Personal success through demonstrating competence.
Power
Social status and prestige; control over people and resources.
Security
Safety, harmony, and stability of society, relationships, and self.
Conformity
Restraint of actions likely to upset others or violate norms.
Tradition
Respect for and commitment to the customs and ideas of one's culture.
Benevolence
Preserving and enhancing the welfare of close others (the in-group).
