The main purpose of this article was seeking determinants of development of “to be” and “to have” attitudes. There was undertaken an empirical research of 34 persons with using “The Scale of «to be» and «to have» attitudes”. The results of this research show that people concentrated on „to have” anf these concentrated on “to be” do not differ in level of selfesteem. The significant differences between these two groups are connected with a type of orientation toward an external world (“to be”: open; “to have”: closed) and understanding and experience of the values. The results suggest need of further empirical researches and seeking of psychosocial determinants of attitudes “to be” and “to have”.
