Abstract

The author discovered distinct correlations between components of value-semantic sphere and decisions, made by subjects. Those were: positive correlation of the value of education with effective strategy of solving problems, correlation of value of freedom and public recognition with impulsive strategy, correlation of value of life wisdom with cautious strategy, and correlation of value of the beauty of nature and art with denial to make decisions. We revealed the influence of qualities measured by most of PIL scales on the processes of decision making in the conditions of uncertainty. There was positive correlation of one's choice of positive interpretation of undefined stimuli with perception of life as meaningful, while the choice of neutral interpretation of undefined stimuli correlated in a negative way with almost all PIL scales. No significant correlations were discovered between PIL scales and the choice of negative interpretations of unidentified stimuli. Cluster analysis provided us with the possibility to widen our ideas about value subtext of decision making processes. The effective strategy of decision making in our tasks seemed connected with the value of productive life, the impulsive strategy was connected with the social value of having good and faithful friends, and the cautious strategy was connected with the values of responsibility and diligence. The choice of positive interpretation of undefined stimuli was connected with the values of entertainment, high requests and intolerance of shortcomings, the choice of negative interpretation was connected with the value of tolerance, and the choice of neutral interpretation was connected with the value of cheerfulness.
