Answer to Question 1

Proactivity occurs when people choose new behaviors to meet new desires or needs and exert control over their lives. If Lindsay approached her new move to a nursing home with proactivity, she might spend her time reviewing brochures of possible nursing homes in order to choose one that best fits her lifestyle and desires. Docility is when people allow their situation to dictate the options they have. If Lindsay approached her new move to a nursing home with docility, she would not spend time selecting the right facility but would allow circumstances to dictate where she ended up, such as proximity or where her children chose for her to go.
