Abstract

The paper presents a study of mechanisms of choice on the case of a real life situation of local authorities elections. The dependent variable was the decision whether to go voting. Using the authors’ test The Subjective quality of choice technique, special questionnaires and a number of personality inventories, we found out intelligible correlations between different aspects of experience of one’s own choice process and some personality variables. The data obtained so far indicate the existence of two stable patterns of choice-making strategies revealed in subjective estimates of one’s choosing process.
