Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The textbook lists five assumptions underlying social cognitive theory:
 People can learn by observing others.
 Learning is an internal process that may or may not result in a behavior change.
 Cognitive processes influence both learning and motivation.
 People and their environments mutually influence each other.
 Behavior becomes increasingly self-regulated.
The response should include at least three of these assumptions; each one should be accompanied by an appropriate implication.
