Within an instanton based model of QCD we address the important question of how much of the proton spin is carried by the spins of the quarks and how much is due to orbital angular momentum and the spins of the gluons. Since this question arises already on the level of a single quark inside the proton, we study axial vector correlation functions for a quark in the so called Random Instanton Liquid Model (RILM) as well as for the Interacting Instanton Liquid Model (IILM).
