Concept of will in the framework of psychological approaches
Will is one of the most difficult concepts in psychology. The will is viewed both as an independent psychic process, as an aspect of other important psychic phenomena, and as a unique ability of the individual to arbitrarily control one's behavior. Will is a mental function that literally permeates all aspects of a person's life. To go to the conversation about the differences in the will, you need to understand the very concept. The will, as you know, is the ability to choose the goal of the activity and the internal efforts necessary for its implementation. This is a specific act, not reducible to consciousness and activity as such. Not every conscious action, even connected with overcoming obstacles on the way to the goal, is volitional: the main thing in the volitional act is the awareness of the value characteristic of the goal of the action, its conformity to the principles and norms of the individual. In the article, we have analyzed the concept of will in the framework of psychological approaches.
