Abstract

This paper offers further development of the self-regulation model of decision-making, which is based on the self-regulation model of the thinking process developed within the framework of the systemic-structural activity theory (SSAT). The role of instrumental and value rationality in decision-making under uncertainty is described. In this paper, we further specify the role of the factors of significance and difficulty in the self-regulation process of decision-making by considering the energy and information component of these factors, along with the instrumental (processing) and value rationality related to them. Eight core energy- and information-based shaping factors that regulate instrumental and value rationality are presented.
