abstract="This study utilized written survey methodology to assess the relations between values, militarism, and nonviolent predispositions. Respondents (college students and high school students; aged 17-48 yrs old) completed two separate instruments during a single 45-min session. Although nonviolent predispositions are positively related to the self-transcendence value types of universalism (i.e., social justice, broadminded, a world at peace, wisdom, a world of beauty, unity with nature, wisdom, equality) and benevolence (i.e., helpful, forgiving, honest, loyal), militarism as defined by L. Nelson (1995) was hypothesized to be positively related to the self-enhancement value types of power (i.e., social power, wealth, preserving public image), achievement (i.e., successful, capable, ambitious), and hedonism (i.e., pleasure, enjoying life). Preliminary data support these relations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)<p />",
