kontrollérzéssel

Kontrollérzéssel is a Hungarian adverb meaning “with a sense of control.” It describes an action performed in a mood or manner that conveys the performer feels in control of the situation. The expression is built from the stem kontroll (control) and a sense-related noun plus the instrumental suffix -val/-vel, yielding kontrollérzés (sense of control) and kontrollérzéssel (with a sense of control).

The term is primarily used in academic or theoretical writing, particularly in psychology and human-computer interaction (HCI). In psychology, it can relate to the broader concept of perceived or felt control, which influences motivation, stress coping, and task engagement. In HCI and usability studies, kontrollérzéssel may describe how interface design or feedback supports a user’s feeling of mastery and influence over a system. Because it is not widely standardized in dictionaries, authors may vary in spelling or prefer synonymous phrases such as a felt sense of control.

Usage notes: kontrollérzéssel functions as an adverbial modifier of manner. It is most natural in formal Hungarian prose or academic contexts and may sound specialized in everyday speech. When used, it typically accompanies verbs that indicate action or interaction, for example: “A felhasználó kontrollérzéssel követte a folyamatot” or “A pilóta kontrollérzéssel kezelte a rendszert.”
