Summary/Abstract: By employing formerly in Lithuanian political science unexploited concept of cognitive schema, the formation of the people’s attitudes towards political issues is explained in this article. The first results of the empirical research on the latent structures, forming the Lithuanian residents’ thinking on political issues, are presented. Semi structured interviews on two political issues introducing the progressive taxes and abolition of the abortion – were analyzed and eight schemas, forming the informants’ attitudes on these issues, were found. In this article the main components, internal structures and interrelationships among these schemas are presented and the broader implications on the knowledge about Lithuanians political thinking is discussed.
