Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The characteristics of the models affect our tendency to imitate them. In real life, we may be more influenced by someone who appears to be similar to us than by someone who differs from us in obvious and significant ways.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Bandura and his associates investigated three factors found to influence modeling: a) the characteristics of the models; b) the characteristics of the observers; c) the reward consequences associated with the behaviors. Friendship between the model and the subject does not affect the extent of modeling like all the other factors do.
