Special attention is paid to the development of the structure and mechanisms of determination functioning, analysis of its components as well as individual psychological features of their variations. 97 persons aged 23-47 divided into groups depending on the adventurousness level (16 respondents with the high level, and 21 persons with the low level) have taken part in the empirical study. The research aim has been addressed using the following methods and techniques: “Multidimensional Determination Scales” and “Decision-Making Inventory” for studying decision-making characteristics; “Adventurousness Test” and “Risk Components Qualitative Characteris-tics Inventory” for examining adventurousness and proneness to risk. The results of the carried out correlation analysis of the relationships between the indicators of determination, decision-making and adventurousness and proneness to risk have been presented in the paper. There are positive significant correlation relationships between adventurousness and most indicators of risk proneness, as well as between adventurousness, risk proneness and determination indica-tors.
