Abstract
Researchers will explore relationships between capitalist values, Hawaiian values, and psychological well-being. Capitalist values, including individualism and competition, differ from Hawaiian values which prioritize community care. As positive social connections strongly predict well-being, researchers hypothesize Hawaiian values will correlate with well-being while capitalist values will negatively correlate.
