Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to explain how action is constituted by simultaneously occurring and interrelated individual, social, cultural, bodily, and environmental processes. Each process is taken to contribute 100% to action, and no process is taken to be prior or primary. Considering these constitutive processes provides a basis for understanding and explaining what a person is doing, why a person is doing what they are doing, and what a person’s action means. Each process is conceptualized more specifically, and varied empirical and everyday examples are used to illustrate how individual, social, cultural, bodily, and environmental processes play out as people act. The chapter also considers how these processes are systemically interrelated and how they can be structured in varied ways.
