THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE: AN INITIAL ANALYSIS.
Abstract
A Value of Life Questionnaire (VLQ 1) was developed to measure the components of persons' attitude toward human life. It is demonstrated that value of life consists of several dimensional components which are similar in size (factor loadings) and remain relatively stable over several administrations of the questionnaire (both across and within samples). Some effects of participation in a military/economic decision-making task on shifts for value of life are observed. It is concluded that the VLQ scale may be useful for analysis and prediction of relevant decision making under complex situational constraints. (Author)
