Abstract

This dissertation is devoted to the research of subjective time as a factor in the social behavior of individual under the conditions of social transformation. I analyze previous theoretical and methodological approaches to research of social and subjective time. Then I analyze the influence of subjective time on an individual's social behaviour in a context of transformation. This dissertation improves on the previous approaches to subjective time, by expanding on the concept of subjective time, identifying its place in the model of free choice, and elaborating research criteria so that the influence of subjective time on social phenomena, processes, and relations, are considered.
