Ability to act (psychology)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ability to act is a basic category of critical psychology .

It characterizes the basic need for human-based action (compared to only conditional behavior in animals), which is aimed at achieving control of one's own living conditions within the framework of social life support.

In medicine, too, one speaks of the ability to act (this can be limited or lost due to injury or illness).
