Value judgments have nothing to do with subjectivity, but differ from judgments about the truth of statements or judgments about the pecuniary value of a thing. See also values, judgments._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Psychological Theories on Value Judgments - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 394 Value Judgments/Psychological theories/Personality/Allport/Saucier: Allport and Odbert (1936)(1) argued that the science of personality would do well to ignore highly evaluative concepts, but they may be a vital part of the operation of mindset. >Concepts, >Personality, >Personality traits, >Personality psychology, >G. Allport, >H. Odbert, >Lexical hypothesis, >Lexical studies. SaucierVsAllport: Highly evaluative attribute-concepts (e.g., Good, Holy, Impressive, Evil) reference perceived competence with respect to consensual standards for proper behaviour. We tend to have contempt for those who disappoint us by showing deficits in such competence, who run askew of the standards of public culture. >Culture, >Cultural psychology. Corr I 395 E.g., the Big Two Dynamism and Morality/Social Propriety dimensions may arise out of the relative independence of tendencies for others to be rewarding (those you would approach) or threatening (those you would avoid). >Socialization, >Social psychology. And the single evaluative factor may be a simple combination of these two: attributes of people you would approach contrasted with attributes of people you would avoid. 1. Allport, G.
