CPI 260 Orientation Toward Societal Values Scale

 

Author: Harrison G. Gough

The Orientation Toward Societal Values Scale measures an individual’s alignment with societal norms and conventional beliefs. It captures the extent to which a person values tradition and established standards versus questioning or challenging them. This scale reflects a person’s perspective on conformity and innovation.

The scale is part of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), a well-established tool for understanding personality characteristics that contribute to effective behavior in various contexts. This scale is frequently used in leadership development and organizational coaching to identify strengths and developmental opportunities.

Low-scorers on Orientation Toward Societal Values tend to be adventurous, unconventional, and dubious about prescriptive social norms; high-scorers tend to be rule-respecting, conscientious, and cautious. (p.54)
