PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE THIRD PHASE OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IN THE SITUATIONS OF THE MORAL CHOICE

Abstract

This article is dedicated to peculiarities of passing through the third procedural stage of decision-making in situations of moral choice. The comparison of alternative options is the determining factor in the third stage of the decision-making process. During the choice of an alternative hypothesis, respondents compare the various options for solving situations of moral choice and determine the option of their own actions, which were investigated with the help of the third series of the author’s methodology «Situations of the moral choice» and specially developed accounting criteria. The analysis of determinative factors of the decision by the person of situations of moral choice was carried out taking into account its two sides — semantic and procedural. The semantic context of the decision is determined by the personal readiness of the subjects to take a conscious and responsible position in dealing with situations of moral choice, the procedural context is based on the classical decision-making model. In the course of the research it was established that the semantic arguments used by respondents during the analysis of the presented variants of the decision of the stimulating situations of moral choice in the majority contained moral beliefs (68.4 %) and ideological attitudes (19.8 %). Also, the subjects were able to evaluate the solutions from the point of view of their abilities, life experience (31.9 %), and also considering the circumstances of the situations being solved (17.5 %) and the specifics of their participants (26.1 %). Thus, a comparison of alternative solutions to situations of moral choice during the passage of the third procedural stage was carried out on the basis of the established system of value and sense personal coordinates.
