Abstract
The paper is devoted to identifying the degree of significance and psychologically relevant content of the value of “love”. The study is based on a specially designed complex experimental procedure which includes a survey, ranking and a free association test. According to the survey, love is the third basic value in the list of 35 names. The ranking experiment revealed the importance of the value of “love” and confirmed the reliability and validity of the survey results. Analyzing the predication features and the probability of producing speech actions in the association fields of love obtained in the studied cities we came to the conclusion about the relevance of the predication feature “subjects and objects of love” and the convergence in the content of such values as “love” and “family” in the minds of Russians.
