CONSTRUCTING THE MODEL OF VIEW OF VALUE - FOCUSING ON THE RELATIONS BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE ACTIVATION AND EMOTION

This thesis describes a model on the prosess of formation of value jud gement, which has been constracted by arguing about 1) knowledge and/o r information, 2) emotion, in relation to 'view of value' that is prod uced from the process of human mental activity. As a result, the view of value araises as follows: (a) Knowledge which is relevant to the vi ew of value is selected from a group of knowledge previously activated by an action of interest. (b) The selected knowledge is further chose n, rejected, or modified, by an 'analogy' with the newly acquired info rmation and/or knowledge, and (c) finally with the existing criterion for value judgement. The criterion is thus renewed through this set of the mental process, and a new view of value grows.
