Abstract

This article is dedicated to the analysis of the main parameters of choice as a self-determination activity and to the elaboration of a special tool for their assessment. Our aim was to allocate process-related subjective indicators of the quality of concrete choices. We developed and validated a 16-item questionnaire called the Subjective quality of choice technique which measures four qualitative dimensions of choice: mindfulness, emotional valence, self-determination, and satisfaction with the outcome. This four-factor structure of choice parameters was relatively invariant in different real life situations of significant choices (local elections, university attendance, vocational orientation at high school, etc.). The Subjective quality of choice technique allows us to explicate the subjective picture of making personal choice as an intrinsically vs. extrinsically regulated process and to study its phenomenology.
