Understanding Human Agency


Listen Later

Albert Bandura was a psychologist who is credited with developing the term “human agency,” which refers to how you act, think, and interact with life.

In this episode, Stephen and I will unpack the four functions of agency and how they might help us develop better self-awareness and deeper faith and relationships. 

The 4 functions of agency are: 

  1. Intentions (or intentionality)
  2. Outcomes (or expectations)
  3. Self-regulation
  4. Self-reflection


Agency asks, “Are you paying attention to your own intentions and are you getting better at self-regulating and self-reflecting?’ We hope this conversation will help you understand yourself and others better – and use your agency for good, godly purposes.
