Abstract

The selection of human actions is influenced by several factors. Some theorists emphasize individual factors and will, and some emphasize the role of peripheral factors. Man, as an autonomous and selective being, chooses his actions in a process that is influenced by the will and the environment. The calculation and selection of consonantal or deviant actions is influenced by environmental factors [physical, psychological, situational, structural (social, economic, ...)]. According to the theories of rational choice, committing wrongdoing is a selective matter and this choice is influenced by various factors and phenomena. Scholars' analysis of the verses and hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) shows the acceptance of the point in the Shiite teachings that human free will under the influence of environmental factors is limited, which of course does not mean deprivation of authority, and this article examines the effects of environmental factors. In general, it explains and analyzes. In the analysis of this category, some limiting and influential factors in human selection from the perspective of Islamic sources have been pointed out and the study of these variables has been followed at the micro, intermediate and macro levels, respectively. The research method is descriptive and qualitative content analysis. The purpose of this research is to analyze the content of the Quran and narrative and interpretive sources. The subject is also: describing the view of the Qur'an and Shiite hadiths about the mapping of environmental factors in the calculation and selection of voluntary actions. The analysis of the axes of verses and narrations indicates the similarity of the contents of these teachings with the axes of modern theories of deviant sociology.
