Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to the value levels in process of consumer choices. It was found the phenomenon of duplication (reproduction) of the same values at different levels of a hierarchical tree of values of the consumer. This phenomenon is associated with two cognitive styles of decision making: context-sensitive and context-independent styles. The hypothesis that the duplication of the same values at different levels of a hierarchical tree of values can be considered the consumer as a unique strategy for decision-making, which is one of its properties is context-dependent, but on the other - completely context-independent. It was found that duplication of the same values at different levels of a hierarchical tree of values inherent in the consumer, primarily women (with a probability of at least 50%), which in terms of consumer choice looks like an unpredictable, inconsistent, illogical, or as - " Women's logic ".
