For more than six decades, the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) has been continuously used in different areas: 1) as an axiometric instrument to evaluate the cognitive-behavioral changes of psychotherapeutic interventions with a pre-post design; 2) for personnel selection with a predictive scope on future performance, and 3) the variation of value judgment on professional growth. More recently, HVP has been used in other settings to frame cognitive-behavioral patterns in specific populations, such as prisoners and entrepreneurs. However, most published studies do not address the depth of variables the HVP offers. The present longitudinal study with pre-post design N=10 shows evidence of the usefulness of the HVP to measure the impact of a psychoeducational workshop on a group of women. The HVP allows for objective reporting that includes both positive changes and setbacks. This cognitive-behavioral variation (as a group and to identify individual differences) enables the facilitator to make relevant adjustments to improve the intervention program. The results report a positive post-treatment impact in the Internal World more than in the External World, with improvements in the evaluative capacities of the social role (DIM E), in self-direction (DIM S), and in the reality principle (DIM %). The results demonstrate that most workshop participants obtained greater clarity to differentiate and develop self-values in the vocational area and their self-discipline. While pre-post comparison indicates statistically significant improvements in some areas, there were setbacks in other areas, particularly in the External World, that make both results useful.References
