Personalized value is a person's inner drive for long-term action, which will be internalized and personalized through adolescence. Adolescence is characterized by social interactions with peers while childhood is associated with trans-generational incorporation of parental values. It is thought that personalized value may help to pursue subjective well-being. The assistive technology to develop personalized value may contribute to human happiness. Estimation method for identifying personalized value is one of the fundamentals to achieve the goal. We proposed conversational assistive technology named coimagination method where themes, allocated period for speech, listening, questions and answers are predetermined so that all participants can participate in the conversation in an equal manner. Participants take photos beforehand so as to show them during the periods of speech, questions and answers. Participants can share their episodes with photos and co-imagine them with each other. We have preliminary determined that selected topics according to the theme reflect the personalized value of each speaker. In this study, we report the estimated personalized value through the analysis of conversational data assisted by coimagination method.
