Psychosocial agency

Psychosocial agency refers to an individual's capacity to make conscious choices and take actions that shape their life and environment, influenced both by personal factors and social contexts. It involves a sense of control, purpose, and the ability to influence one's circumstances through decision-making, resilience, and proactive behavior. Essentially, it’s about how people actively navigate their social world, leveraging their skills, resources, and relationships to achieve goals and adapt to challenges.
