MONTREAL, Sept. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Watching the
news these days may lead some people to the same gloomy conclusion:
That this world is a horrible place. While it might seem like the
only things people care about are money and power, and that greed,
indifference, or even hatred are everywhere, a study conducted by
the researchers at Queendom reveals a ray of hope. Making human
connections, taking care of one another, and improving the world is
becoming much more important to people than both money and
power.
Researchers at Queendom analyzed data from a sample of 1,088
people of different ages and ethnicities who took the Values
Profile Test. Here's what people valued the most, in order of
importance:
- 67% of the people value empathy
- 67% value hard work
- 65% value their relationships with family & friends
- 64% value a sense of belonging
- 62% value stability - a stable job, a steady paycheck, a
structured work environment, etc.
- 60% consider altruism, charity, and giving to others extremely
important
- 57% consider it important to make strong social
connections
- 56% have strong community values - this includes being
neighborly, making a positive contribution to society, engaging in
important social and environmental work, etc.
- 55% consider it essential to live a life according to their
morals and principles
- 51% value innovation and advances in technology
- 47% value career success

manmade

"We are constantly inundated with news reports on the pandemic,
anti-maskers, conspiracy theories, ruthless politics, and mass
shootings. This can paint a very dark picture of society, and leave
people feeling and believing that the world is hostile and
hopeless," explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the
parent company of Queendom. "The truth is that we are beginning to
see a shift - a shift back, if you will - to more wholesome values.
The more negativity we see in the world around us, the stronger the
desire seems to get back to what is truly important. When horrible
things happen, we pull together -most of us, anyway. And all the
tangible things that we once considered important, like money and
luxuries, lose their value. When you hear about a mass shooting in
a school, all you want to do is go home and hug your children or
grandchildren. When you see an injustice in the world, or witness
people being treated unfairly, it brings up a deep desire in you to
help in some way, or to at least treat your neighbors with more
care and respect. At the end of the day, what matters the most is
human connection. It's love, generosity, and the desire to live in
a better world. This is what the majority of the world values,
which is a strong sign of hope, if ever there was one."
