Choice as activity: Its individual determinants and possibilities of training
(resume)
The study deals with a problem of choice.
Preliminary analysis allows the authors to
distingwish at least three kinds of choice
processes: (1) Single choice with both
alternatives and criteria given to the subject;
(2) Sense-based choice with the alternatives
already given and criteria of choice still to be
construed, and (3) Personal or existentional
choice with both alternatives and criteria to be
construed in the process. Two experiments
performed by the authors provide some data on
personality variables connected to the ability to
make more meaningful and substantiated choices.
The authors succeeded in elaboration of a training
procedure based on the understanding of choice
process in terms of internal activity that proved
to be efficient in improving the main parameters
of sense-based choice.
