Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Self-reinforcement requires internal standards of performance, subjective criteria or reference points against which we evaluate our behavior. Our past behavior may become a reference point for evaluating present behavior and an incentive for better performance in the future.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Self-reinforcement appears conceptually similar to what other theorists call conscience or superego, but Bandura denies that it is the same. A continuing process of self-reinforcement regulates much of our behavior.
