Levels of personal agency among academic majors.
Action identification theory presented by Vallacher and Wegner characterizes individual differences in identification level in terms of a personality dimension known as "level of personal agency." Levels of personal agency, as measured by the Behavior Identification Form, were examined in a sample of 237 college "seniors" representing eight academic majors. The mean levels of personal agency among individuals in several of these majors were significantly different.
