In this chapter, the systematic investigation of human freedom, informed by a human science perspective, continues. However, the material to be presented in this chapter is systematic in a way quite different from that presented in Chapter 6. It begins with open-ended interviews, but moves rapidly to the development of a questionnaire which attempts to gather quantifiable data on human freedom from a conceptual base much wider than the bases employed by reactance theory and attribution theory. The questionnaire attempts to capture both quantitative information (how free people feel) and qualitative information (how “feeling free” is construed) in a variety of theoretically important kinds of situations. Relatively simple statistical analyses are used to provide descriptive summaries of the findings.
