Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The social-cognitive approach focuses on the interaction between personality and situation to explain behavior. It emphasizes the role of cognitive processes, such as beliefs and expectations, in shaping behavior in different situations. It takes into account both the person's internal attributes (personality traits, thoughts, and feelings) and external factors (situational influences) in determining behavior. Anxiety and boredom (A) are not specific enough to explain behavior, and while thoughts and feelings (C) are a part of the approach, they are not the only factors examined. Personality and intelligence (D) are not necessarily linked in this approach.
