Psychological Determinism

Psychological determinism is the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are determined by prior experiences, genetics, and environmental influences. It suggests that every choice we make is influenced by factors beyond our conscious control, such as upbringing, culture, and past experiences. Consequently, this perspective implies that our behavior is predictable to some extent, based on these influences. In essence, while we may feel we are making free choices, psychological determinism argues that these choices are significantly shaped by our internal and external circumstances.
