Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2017/Compatibilism

Feedback
Hey there! I made a couple of grammatical changes in the conclusion, nothing major though. I also changed the bolded words "free will" as I could see a reason for them to be bold? Feel free to change back if there was a reason. Also, your images seem rather large, I didnt reformat them as I wasnt sure if that was the look you were going for or not. Your chapter is super interesting though and you have done a really good job on it. I have temptation as a topic and also talk about ego depletion, but you do a much better job than I do! :) U3111270 (discuss • contribs) 09:47, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Something similar
I've discussed this topic in the past with people, and I'm not sure whether this is compatabilism or something similar:

To some extent, one can argue that determinism and free will are the same or have the same result, its just that one is in a positivistic and the other in a realistic language: -If someone's actions are pre-determined, the best argument we have is that they are internally determined, not instead determined by external forces outside of a person's inclinations and potential. -What we also know is that people will act or respond in concordance with their best interests in regards to their perceived opportunities in any given moment, thus, whatever you decide is based on whatever you have learned and becomes part of your personality, schemas, scripts etc, and although you are aware of those things, you are still at the mercy of them, just in a way that you like (you are being forced by your brain to do what you want); because you would always do what you ideally would want to, and if you didn't, that would be a thing that you would want to do (by definition). In other words, you are at the deterministic mercy of your self.

Good luck with your chapter, it sounds like a really interesting can of worms - I've loved past discussions on it ;D

Regards,

Hey Liam, Great chapter with a really interesting topic which I actually really enjoyed reading !. I have done an assignment for a previous psych unit focusing on the theory of planned behaviour which might be relevant to your section on Fundamental attribution error. The theory proposes that self efficacy contributes to behaviour, in the compatibilism debate determinism may contribute to altered self efficacy which may effect behaviour. This study might prove useful in incorporating this idea into the chapter - http://zh9bf5sp6t.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=I&aulast=Ajzen&atitle=Perceived+behavioral+control,+self%E2%80%90efficacy,+locus+of+control,+and+the+theory+of+planned+behavior&id=doi:10.1111/j.1559-1816.2002.tb00236.x&title=Journal+of+applied+social+psychology&volume=32&issue=4&date=2002&spage=665&issn=0021-9029

Hi Liam, I had a read over your chapter and it is well put together, easy to follow and conveys a clear idea. I made some minor grammatical changes for you. Karly --U3117418 (discuss • contribs) 09:01, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
