Free will

• > Humanism argues, unlike other approaches that free will is possible

  > Humans are self-determining so our behaviour is due to our choices and we can reject any internal or external influences such as genes or unconscious motives

  > We have free will to make choices to enable personal change and growth so we are free to choose how we act

  > Due to this, humanistic psychology is concerned with the subjective experience of individuals rather then general laws of human behaviour
