Key Concepts

Reciprocal Determinism

Reciprocal determinism is the process by which personal factors, behavioral patterns, and environmental influences interact and mutually influence one another. This concept underlines the idea that not only do our environments affect us, but our behaviors and thoughts also impact our external surroundings.

Social-Cognitive Perspective

This concept emphasizes that personality is developed and shaped by the dynamic interplay between internal mental processes and external environmental influences. It integrates cognitive processes such as beliefs and attitudes with behavioral patterns to explain how people learn and change over time.

Environmental Factors

Environmental factors refer to the external elements in one's surroundings that influence behavior and development. These can include physical elements, social settings, cultural influences, and contexts such as the presence of resources or other people that contribute to shaping personality and actions.
