Abstract
  • This study examines empirically the relationship of value orientation to meanspiritedness. Meanspiritedness (a collection of acts, thoughts and/or attitudes which are intentionally malicious) was defined and a scoring method was designed. The management level of self-interest in individuals as indicated by their value orientation and religious orientation was examined. Additionally, the relationship of value orientation to meanspiritedness was examined as measured by dogmatism scores, psychoticism scores, religious orientation scores, neuroticism scores and extraversion scores. Findings indicate that people in this study who valued at a Humanist rather than a Societal level scored higher in meanspiritedness.
