What is sense of agency?

Sense of agency refers to the feeling of being in control of one's actions and their outcomes. It is the psychological experience of having an intentional influence on the environment, and the belief that one's actions are the cause of events. Sense of agency is crucial for self-regulation, decision-making, and goal-setting, as it helps individuals to take responsibility for their actions and feel empowered to make changes in their lives. A strong sense of agency is associated with feelings of autonomy, confidence, and self-efficacy.
