Concept introduction: Reciprocal determinism is the person–environment interaction. Behavior, environmental influences, and internal personal factors are interlocking determinants of each.
Answer to Problem 1MM
Correct answer: An example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism is the presence of books at home. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
One of the specific ways in which individuals and environments interact is that different people choose different environments. One example of different people choosing different environments is the books individual reads and the presence of books at home.
Option a. is given as “the presence of books in a home”
An example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism is the presence of books in home; hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “a preference for outdoor play”.
A preference for outdoor play is not an example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as “the ability to read at a fourth-grade level”.
The ability to read at fourth-grade level is not an example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “the fear of violent action on television”.
The fear of violent action on television is not an example of an environmental factor in reciprocal determinism. Therefore, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.

You overhear one of them saying that she wishes the Practice Director would give them one paid hour to spend on completing documentation for each hour of client service, because they currently don’t get paid for doing this, and now they either take up client time or they save it for the end of the…arrow_forward
