Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Individuals whose behavior follows rules, regulations, norms, and so on, in a particular setting in the absence of reinforcement or punishment are exhibiting self-control. A student who obeys a teacher's rules for classroom conduct even though the teacher is not present to praise the student for doing so is an example of self-control. Individuals who consistently control their behavior in a variety of settings, including new ones, are exhibiting
self-regulation. A student who has learned the benefit of concentrating on an in-class assignment and ignoring distractions and who does the same at home while doing homework is an example of self-regulation.
The basic premise of social cognitive theory is that people and not environmental forces are
the primary cause of their own behavior. This notion is referred to as social agency. Self- control and self-regulation processes provide the basis for personal agency.
