Instances of values.

Value Example
Fidelity The participants valued the book substantially, by rating it and its separate chapters as highly useful (27).
Autonomy Our study demonstrated that structured group reading activities may exert some positive influence on clinical symptomatology and cognitive and psychosocial functioning in patients with psychosis (22)
Liberty The main prison population may be less defensive about the topic in that they have more freedom and, therefore, can benefit more from the principles of rational growth (20)
Equality Our findings strongly support the theoretical notions of the existence of distinct types of sexual difficulty, associated with different personal and relational characteristics (17).
Respect Individual empowerment, which is one of the aims of bibliotherapy, contributes to the development of problem-solving skills and increases self-esteem and self-efficacy (19).
Tolerance The CSPSB also experienced a greater reduction in negative appraisals of caregiving and more positive experiences of family relationships/communication with their FEP relative than the UOFS group (11).
Interest The findings are also supported by several researchers who emphasize the importance of individuals who are engaged in “self-help” treatment having telephone contact with mental health workers, particularly in rural settings (10).
Love The results nonetheless suggested that the intervention might be effective in reducing the number and frequency of self-harm episodes, with simultaneous reduction in depressive symptoms (21).
Service attitude The 5-month CSPSB demonstrated very positive effects on family caregiving at 12-month follow-up (22).
Charity Contact with the clinician was repeatedly identified as being valued and is consistent with the previous studies (24).
Purity These participants appeared “ready to change” and were motivated enough to initiate some self-change as a result of being involved in a research study. The extended contact (i.e., follow-up interviews) have also contributed to the maintenance of their motivation (26).
