This new mindset is known as the agentic state.

这种新思维叫做“代理人心态”。

But once we've entered the agentic state, what keeps us there?

但是，就算我们产生了代理人心态，为什么会脱离不了？

Milgram argues that the agentic state has been socialized in us through family, school, and work because these environments value obedience, reward us for it and punish us for disobedience.

米尔格伦指出代理人心态已透过家庭、学校和职场在我们身上社会化了，因为这些环境着重服从，我们服从则奖励，不服从则惩罚。

To understand this state, it helps to separate it into a few components: the capacity for agency, why we become an agent, the features of an agent, and what keeps us from exiting the agentic state.

要想了解这种心态，将其分为几部分会有助于理解：代理的能力、成为代理人的原因、代理人的特点和无法摆脱代理人心态的原因。
