The Concept of Human Development
3
Is the Striving for Human Choice an
Anthropological Universal?
Making choices is the most specific ability of
the human species, so it is justified to
conceptualize HD in terms of human choice.
But is striving for choice a general human
motivation?
In more than 140 national surveys of the WVS,
there is a highly significant positive
correlation between individuals life
satisfaction and their perception of how much
choice and control they have over their lifes. On
average, this correlation points to r.40 with
little variation for different cultural zones. On
the aggregate level the same correlation points
to r.76.
