Excerpt from An Experimental Study of the Factors and Types of Voluntary Choice The problem of will is twofold in that it is inclus1ve of in ner and outer volition. While the latter is single, the for mer implies the latter as a consummation of the internal act. Inner volition implies deliberation and choice, resulting in a decision to carry out the chosen course of action, outer in volves a resolution to carry out the act either selected or Oh viously present to the mind. The former process is, of its very nature, intellectual, with a final resolution into a mental set, While in the latter case the se is arrived at without a deliberate act of choice. The main purpose of this study is an attempt, first at verification Of the work already carried out in the field of voluntary choice, and second at a further ex tension Of the investigation to the nature of the mental set involved.
