English term or phrase: sense of agency
Not only the rate of contagion and patterns of transmission threatens our sense of agency, but the safety measures put in place to contain the spread of the virus also require social distancing by refraining from doing what is inherently human, which is to find solace in the company of others.

Our sense of agency
إحساسـنا بالفاعلية الإرادية


Explanation:
Our sense of agency = إحساسـنا بالفاعلية الإرادية

"Agency" is the quality of having free volition that makes individuals individually responsible for the actions they take. It is a central concept in law and ethics.

The sense of agency is the awareness of being the responsible source of the volitional actions that we take, including the thoughts that we think. It implies a sense of ownership: the actions I take are mine.

The terms "agent" and "patient" are commonly used in grammar. The agent is the noun or pronoun that is responsible for the action (the verb), while the patient is the noun or pronoun that suffers (undergoes) the action (the verb). In Arabic, these are referred to as الفاعل والمفعول.

It would be sufficient to translate "our sense of agency" إحساسـنا بالفاعلية, but if you feel you need to be more explicit, try إحساسـنا بالفاعلية الإرادية.

الوعي الذاتي


Explanation:
غالبًا ما يعاني مرضى الفصام بنوع من التقلب في ذ وكأن شخصًا آخر يتحكم بأفعالهم. ويوصف هذا التدهور بأنه نوع من العجز عن “الشعور بالقوة” (sense of agency) *. وبينما كان ذلك يمثل حقيقةً راسخةً ومرتبطةً بمشاكل في إشارات الدماغ الحسية، إلا أن مجالًا آخر قد أغفل من دون تنقيبٍ ألا وهو “شعور الملكية الجسدية” والذي يمنحنا الإحساس بأن أجسادنا تنتمي لذواتنا. وبتطبيق تجربة الوهم على كامل الجسم فإن علماء المعهد الفدرالي السويسري للتكنولوجيا في “لوزان” قد توصلوا إلى حقيقة أن ملكية الجسد لا تتأثر بمرض الفصام. وقد تم نشر هذه الدراسة في صحيفة (Schizophrenia Bulletin).
