This work is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of money, through such a psychological category as the freedom of choice. At the current moment the possibility of an unhindered and multivariate exchange of money for material goods has not been proposed as a special object of empirical research in psychology. Previously, we empirically tested the hypothesis that money contains a “surplus value,” which attributes mainly to the value of freedom of choice. This paper further explores this phenomenon, namely, how the value of money and the freedom of choice inherent in money is influenced by situational determinants. Various choice situations are introduced in which respondents must choose between money and attractive goods that can be purchased with that money. This confirms that in different situations money has different value of the freedom of choice.
