The article is devoted to the study of the influence of J. Kuhl’s system ideas on the Soviet and Russian psychology of will. The approaches to understanding the will, as well as the works of native researchers who have dealt with the problems of the will, are analyzed. It is shown how the concept of J. Kuhl can contribute to the resolution of contradictions that have developed in psychological science regarding approaches to the interpretation of the will.

The article presents the stages of the formation of J. Kuhl’s theoretical views on the psychology of will. It is noted that in the concept of J. Kuhl, the psyche is considered as a system. In his works, the volitional sphere is a system aimed at achieving results. From the point of view of J. Kuhl’s theory, the implementation of control for the action depends on the coordinated work of subsystems aimed at keeping the intention in an active state under favorable conditions and stopping the activity in unfavorable ones.

The research analyzes the contribution of J. Kuhl’s innovative ideas to the development of differential psychology. It is noted that the concept of volitional regulation contributes to the understanding of the reasons underlying the receipt of different results of activity, provided that there are the same goals, means of activity and the desire to succeed. The paper considers the mechanisms by which the intention is implemented until the desired result is achieved. The article describes the influence of J. Kuhl’s theory on modern research aimed at studying the problem of volitional regulation of behavior. The analysis of the methodology developed by J. Kuhl on the basis of original theoretical ideas about the nature of will is carried out. The article considers the prospects and possibilities of using the “Action Control” questionnaire in modern diagnostic practice.

Keywords: J. Kuhl; system ideas; volitional regulation; mechanisms of volitional regulation; control over action; differential psychology; system approach; motivational approach; “free choice” approach; regulatory approach.
