Abstract
Abstract
Amasyali and van de Berg's discussions of Agency were edifying and scholarly, but curiously sideline some of the very pockets of sociology that might most fully address their concerns with this slippery concept. This response suggests some counterexamples to some of their strongest claims that deny the utility or the exploration of agency, ultimately suggesting that sociological social psychology, understood in its probabilistic format, helps address the lack of precision around this commonly employed concept.
