In normal language texts value judgements are also expressed: properties, objects, qualities, situations or processes are not only described by the persons affected but also judged/evaluated. These judgements/evaluations are collected in different lists (exclusively positive valuations, predominantly positive valuations, dominantly negative valuations).
List of valuations referring to the state as it is can be used for the evaluation of products, processes and real situations. In contrast to this there are valuation lists describing a desired end state. These provide basic values and ulterior goals of the interviewees.
