Given proposition $p$: The solution set of the inequality $a^{x} > 1 (a > 0, a \neq 1)$ with respect to $x$ is $(-\infty, 0)$; and proposition $q$: The domain of the function $f(x) = \ln(ax^2 - x + 2)$ is $R$. If the proposition "$p \lor q$" is true and "$p \land q$" is false, find the range of values for $a$.
