Metaimplicative model of interpretation of subject's behavior under the conditions of choice which is alternative to the "risk-choice model" by J. Atkinson is proposed. The core of the proposed model in which ideas of V. Lefevr's reflection theory and E. Berne's transaction personality theory are synthesized includes interpretation of choice as metaimplication (x →* y) →* z, where x - degree of efforts which is mobilized by a subject to solve a task of chosen level of availability; y - available information about availability level of chosen task; z - unconscious beliefs in which subject's fantasies about his/her ability to solve task are realized; →* -"metaimplication" which represents generalization of logical operation "material implication" for rational quantities x, y, z in [0, 1] segment and is interpreted psychological as realizability of subject's aspirations on the basis of his/her internal and external resources.

Key words: subject aspirations, demands, resource, opulence, choice, risk-choice model, motivation of achievement, persistency, ego-state, metaimplication, "rationalists", "idealists", "golden section", multisubjects personality theory.
