Summary/Abstract: In Tadeusz Tomaszewski’s approach, a psychological situation is an interaction of the requirements someone faces, the circumstances in which they have to act, and their possibilities. A situation is normal when this triad is in equilibrium. It becomes difficult when an imbalance occurs, e.g. between requirements and possibilities. It inclines a person to make changes either reproducing the status quo or leading to a change in circumstances, requirements or competence. This is a universal mechanism of human action.
